This is a story I wrote on my site.
If you load up Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts today, you'll be prompted to download an update. If you're playing on a High-Def TV, then you won't really notice much, but those of you playing on a Standard-Def tube will be happy to see that the small text problem has been solved!
Microsoft and developer Rare have teamed up to kick off a contest inviting gamers to take snapshots of their personal contraptions in Banjo- Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Rare is handpicking a grand total of seven of the very best creations and will award winners with "in-game immortality."

Black Friday may be over but discounts for many things continue, including video games. Below are two great deals for the cheap gamer. Both are great prices for fantastic games. Banjo was already being sold at $40 but has now become a steal at Amazon. Team Fortress 2 is worth the money for hours of enjoyment. Make sure to look around for the best deals as they become even more frequent.

[...] The message from Rare coming along with this spiffy greeting card goes as follows: 'We wish everyone a very merry Xmas, a happy New Year and look forward to a fun-filled 2009 :)' "
"I'm not normally the kind to clip coupons and stay up on deals, but even a dolt like me can respond when something like this is staring me in the face. Amazon is selling Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for the criminally low price of $25.99"
MundoRare writes: "After the amazing Viva Piñata cards from the Tokyo Game Show or the ones hinting at a new Killer Instinct, it's time for the Banjo universe to meet the paper maché world!

Now is the time of year when anticipation builds more with each passing day. It's also the time of year when Amazon Video Games has scores of fantastic deals happening all at once. There is no better way to celebrate the season than with a mashup of daily anticipation and fabulous deals!
