Best Buy Co. Inc. this week began offering up to $20 off select titles for Sony Corp.'s Playstation 2, PSP, Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360, and Nintendo Co.'s Wii and Nintendo DS platforms in a new member promotion.
Months after release, a demo for SouthPeak Games' X-Blades is now available for download.
DLC in the form of a mission pack has been made available for SouthPeak's action adventure title X-Blades in the Xbox Live Marketplace. Though the game is multi-platform, it's unclear when the pack will arrive for PS3 and PC.
SouthPeak Games announced today that X-Blades is out tomorrow across PAL territories, for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. In X-Blades, players assume the role of Ayumi, a stunningly seductive yet tenacious heroine who battles enemies with her pistol blades, acrobatic ability, and magic spells. With full anime cut scenes, the story unfolds revealing demonic powers and spectacular landscapes, all ripe for exploration and battles.
To celebrate the launch of X-Blades in the UK tomorrow, SouthPeak Games has brought the game's leading character Ayumi to life with some rather cheeky images featuring the real life UK model Jodie Dart
411mania gives a rundown on this week's game releases. Highlights include Retro Game Challenge, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad/Bikini Zombie Slayers, X-Blades, and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.

Today SouthPeak has an update from the upcoming anime-inspired, hack-n-slash adventure X-Blades, which happens to be on-hand at SouthPeak's booth (1349) this weekend at the New York Comic Con
SouthPeak Games today announced its plans for the New York Comic Con show on February 6th-8th, 2009. Located at Booth 1349, SouthPeak will display some of their upcoming 2009 titles with both hands-on demos and producer-led demonstrations, along with special trailers featuring never before seen game footage.
Apparently the Xbox 360 and PS3 X-Blades box art are different? NSFW, even, someone somewhere said. We can't tell, there's got to be something.

X-Blades, with its sultry and scantily clad heroine Ayumi, is on the way to Xbox 360 soon. To give you a better idea of what you're in for, SouthPeak Games has sent out the list of achievements that will be included on the Xbox 360 version of the game. As always, there are a possible 1,000 points up for grabs. For X-Blades, it seems that you might have to work for them. Scroll down to see the list and take a gander at that last one. That's right; to get all 1,000 achievement points you'll have to collect 50,000,000 souls. That ought to take a while.
SouthPeak Games has released some info on the X-Blades Collectors bundle which will be available from the 14th of January 2009. Not only will you get the gun toting sword wielding action game, but some cool goodies as well, including a 22cm hand-painted model.
