Japan doesn't get Saints Row: The Third until a couple of days after the game's American release, but testy authorities have already ordered one prominent cut to the game's weaponry, neutering the game's Penetrator. If that name conjures images of an outsized, weaponized phallus, you're bang on the money – except in Japan, where developers have been forced to make the weapon a little bit more SFW.

Which, by the way, the next image probably ain't, so if you're at work you might not want to read the rest of this decidedly NSFW post...

Shocking absolutely no one, Activision has revealed their recently released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sold really, really well. It broke records and made Activision a lot of money, and a lot of people are playing it on the internet...

You may have missed this, but basically every single game that matters is launching this month. And we’ve given out so many glowing reviews, we don’t blame you for wanting to jump in a midnight launch line immediately. But wait! You’re obviously forgetting the magical 24-hour period known as Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when everything is on sale and people are trampled for a $99 HD TV. Today Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked weeks ahead of time and includes some crazy deals that might cause you to delay some purchases.

Updated with new information.

GameStop has posted the details on the Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition on the retailer's website, showing off the high-end bundle for die-hard Mass Effect fans looking to see the series off in style. For $79.99 (relatively cheap when compared to other Collector's Edition bundles), gamers will get a soundtrack, an exclusive mission, a new character, and a bunch of other bonuses...

Dancing in the streets of the world's major cities ensued today as Ubisoft announced it would be forgoing always-on DRM for this year's Assassin's Creed Revelations. The developer has announced it won't require users to retain a constant Internet connection under threat of being booted even from the single-player game, as had earlier been threatened; instead, players will perform a one-time activation upon starting the game...

Sometimes sales news can be happily predictable, like Uncharted 3's sales. Some hurt our hearts, like Shadows of the Damned selling like crap or Just Dance 2's huge sales. But some just brighten our days, even when it involves an especially melancholy title like Limbo. Today the creators of Limbo revealed the enigmatic indie game has sold over a million copies to date, a number that will hopefully continue to grow when it comes out for the Mac.

Ezio has been the star of Assassin’s Creed for the last three years, and within the game’s story, he’s been killing Templars for three decades. For better or worse that’s got to come to an end eventually, and it looks like Ezio is about to ride off into that Renaissance era sunset, but not before he gets some answer. The launch trailer for Assassin’s Creed Revelations gives you some insight into Ezio’s search for some sort of truth during his advancing years, all while he artfully murders dozens of people we’re assuming are jerks...

Sega's Binary Domain doesn't launch until February, but the company has already revealed one early-adopter bonus to Japanese players: a code to unlock Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu within the game's online mode. The game's developer, Team Yakuza, apparently feels that you can take its games out of the Japanese underworld, but you can't take the Yakuza out of its games. Unless you only play offline, of course...

THQ announced details for the Season Pass that'll go on sale online alongside the release of Saints Row: The Third next week. The package will save you over 15% on three upcoming mission packs and a bonus DLC pack containing all the accoutrements you'll require to turn the third Saints Row into a campy, Blade-esque vampire thriller. Which, by this point, may be literally the only thing the game hasn't yet shown itself to contain already...

We aren’t going to mask our unabashed love for Spider-Man, but we also won’t lie when we say his last couple games haven’t been that good. Both Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time had interesting concepts but were executed in the most painfully average way possible. The developer of those titles, Beenox, is creating the next Spidey game, Amazing Spider-Man, which is based on the upcoming film of the same name. Today Beenox used its Twitter to give fans a first real look at the game, as the dev posted three pieces of concept art...
