Love Fallout, but wish there were more Cheesie Poofs, subversive political commentary, and talking pieces of poop? Rejoice, for Game Informer has revealed South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are working with THQ and Obsidian to develop a full-scale South Park RPG for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Square Enix is going to great lengths to convince Final Fantasy fans that FFXIII-2 will be huge improvement upon the first, and in its latest video the studio shows off just some of the tweaks, additions, and improvements it's adding to the sequel's battle system...
After weeks of seeing companies brag about the millions of consoles sold and copies of games shipped, we’re tired. We’ve been overloaded with stats to the point of losing interest, but sometimes a number comes along that involves a huge dildo and it’s difficult to ignore. Today we found out (among other interesting statistics) that two million digital people have been beaten to death in Saints Row: The Third with the Penetrator aka the giant purple dildo bat...
Mass Effect 3 will return players to the first game's Citadel environment, promises the game's lead writer, Mac Walters. While the Citadel was intended to play a larger part in Mass Effect 2, storylines involving the area were mostly trimmed from the game for plotting reasons.

Rumors are that Electronic Arts is looking to expand Dead Space beyond the claustrophobic survival-horror of its first three outings, reports Kotaku. An “insider” within EA says new management within the company, having considered axing the cult series, will now be going ahead with Dead Space 3 – but that once that game's done, plans are afoot to develop the property beyond its signature third-person claustrophobia...
One
of the first gaming magazines to hit newsstands, GamePro, is reportedly closing up shop. After over 20 years of producing monthly magazines (and a
recent switch to a quarterly format) and over ten years of running its website, the outlet will be ceasing its magazine production and closing down its site completely. While most of the
editorial staff is to be laid off, some will apparently be retained in
order to help GamePro Media in "refocusing its US business exclusively
on its growing custom publishing and solutions business."..
Konami has announced it'll be handling co-publishing duties on InXile's Choplifter HD. The title, due for XBLA release this winter, with PC and PSN versions to follow soon after, updates Brøderbund's 1982 Apple ][ original with snazzy HD graphics, a wider range of choppers and weaponry, Duke Nukem (what?), and, of course, zombies. Zombies, you ask? Well, what do you think happens when you let enemies wait 30 years before putting them in a game?...
When it was first announced, PS3-exclusive The Last Guardian was one of our most anticipated games of 2010, then one of our most anticipated for 2011, and now we’re really excited for it in 2012. But the delays and the fact that we hadn’t seen the game in a long time was starting to make us worried. And this new rumor floating around hardly comforts us, as Eurogamer reports the games director and Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda has quit Sony...
Calling all Borderlands cosplayers! Well, all red-headed and impossibly proportioned female cosplayers, to be specific. Gearbox Software has issued a casting call for a Lilith look-alike to join the studio for some live-action filming for its upcoming Borderlands sequel, with the possibility of getting some extra promotional work if you can fit the part and – more importantly – fit into skin-tight leather outfits...
Capcom has signed hip-hop artist Method Man and The Office co-star Creed Bratton to lend their talents to an upcoming downloadable game based on the Sour Patch Kids candy brand.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great time to be alive...
