It’s surprising to see Capcom push out anything related toMega Man Universein this weird post-PAX, pre-TGS time period, but we’ll definitely take it. Over on Capcom-Unity, we’re shown pictures of character customization and the level-building tools. Depending on which parts you choose for your Mega Man, the abilities at your disposal will shift. “Aside fromMega Manthemed stages, there are a variety of custom stage parts that will be revealed soon.”...

Looks likeGame Informerhas been reading Destructoid’s Monthly Review Round-up. See for their December issue they will be listing the top 30 characters of the past decade. To celebrate this they had artistSam Sprattdo an epic piece of artwork featuring all of the characters. That’s just like what we do for the Review Round-up except on a much larger scale. Plagiarism I tell you! The art is being broken up into three collectible covers, but Game Informer also says that they will soon be sharing info on how you’re able to get it in sexy poster form....

Yesterday, she continued to prove how amazing she is by making all these videogame themed cupcakes including a very delicious looking Mr. Destructoid cupcake. NOM NOM NOM! — CTZ] OK, so this was definitely a first for me. Well, not the making cupcakes part, but you know, this is my first time I’d ever decorated them with fondant....

Drat your headline character limit, Elephant! I was one letter away from squeezing “next week” in there. You haven’t seen the last of me; I know where you live. On Tuesday, November 24, Games on Demand will see a few new additions to its decent catalog. That would of course beSaints Row 2(except for Japan),LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures(except for Japan and Mexico), andBattlefield: Bad Company(only for Japan). Microsoft wasn’t willing to give out specific prices quite yet, but it’s safe to assume these will range in the $19....

Thinking about picking up your copy ofWii Fitat GameStop or Gamecrazy next week? Maybe when that clerk was harassing you about pre-ordering it you should have given it some thought, cool guy. According toIGN, both retailers have suspended their pre-orderings, having already sold out of their initial allocations. All hope is not lost — it appears you can still pre-order the game from Gamestop.com, and you might have some luck picking up the title at larger retailers like Target and K-Mart, neither of which accept pre-orders....

Here’s a juicy portion ofSonic Colorsmedia for you, hot off the grill. Well, not exactly hot, since these went online several hours ago. Enjoy your lukewarm screenshots, then, and get the Hell out of my asset kitchen! I believe this is the most we’ve seen of the DS version ofSonic Colors, if not the very first images we’ve ever had. I know quite a few people seemed more interested in the DS one than the Wii alternative, so you’d do well to check them out....

God of War 2: It’s beautiful and I wants it, I wants it bad. Check out this latest video released by Sony and try and convince me you won’t be playing this when it comes out. I don’t care who you are or where you came from, but you will be entranced. In 2005 when we left Kratos, he had defeated the almighty Ares and was sitting upon his accomplished throne of Olympus....
