BioWare is feeling mighty generous, apparently.

Yes, I said free. It's $20 worth of bonus content and all you have to do is pre-order before the given date and you're good to go.

Twisted Pixel brought us gems such as The Maw and 'Splosion Man, both equally entertaining and unique. Their latest game, Comic Jumper, is no exception and fits in well beside their previous games. At the start of Comic Jumper, you are introduced to a super ripped super hero named Captain Smiley, whose head is a giant yellow smiley face. The emblem on his chest also just happens to be his snarky, wise-cracking sidekick named Star...who is of course, a star. Sounds weird, doesn't it? You bet it does...and the game truly shines because of this.

Apparently calling it Dissidia 2 was out of the question for this follow-up to the Final Fantasy fighting game for the PSP. I'm not quite sure what the name is all about, but I do know that there are going to be a few new characters in this upcoming sequel which will be released sometime in 2011. Among the new features are all-new missions, a new story, combat features and alternate costumes. Oh, and Kain and Lightning will be making their debut as playable fighters!

Realtime Worlds hasn't exactly been having a good year. After many forced layoffs in the company, it seems as though they are shutting down All Points Bulletin, the open-world crime MMOG...forever. This is obviously very bad news if you're an APB fan, an MMORPG that only just came out at the end of June 2010.

After this past week's Tuesday maintenance, World of Warcraft players were treated to two brand new pre-Cataclysm events. For the Horde, players were able to travel to Sen'jin Village to aid in reclaiming the Echo Isles, which will be a new city in the upcoming expansion. Alliance players were given the chance to aid High Tinker Mekkatorque in liberating Gnomeregan, the lost city of the gnomes, which will also be an upcoming city in Cataclysm. The events added something fun and different to Azeroth, though many players have reported that the events were not released without a hitch.
