These days, major corporations are using social media as a tool to inform their customers on their newest projects and updates.  Harmonix is jumping on this bandwagon by using both Twitter and Facebook to announce their Holiday 2010 release date of Rock Band 3.

Absolutely disgusted and disappointed?  No matter what you are right now, hit the break anyway for even more details that might surprise you.

Most human beings have thought about killing someone. The rest are liars. However not everyone has thought about killing someone in a creative and gruesome way. If you happen to be one of the rare few who have, you have a chance to have your kill featured in the upcoming Dead Space 2 game.

Every Friday night, I get together with a few friends, and despite my attempts otherwise, we inevitably end up playing Halo 3 multiplayer to the point of red hot rage. On more than one occasion, I've renounced the game, stating plainly that I will never play it again. Well, this new footage of the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta genuinely makes me excited to don the Spartan armor online again. Hit the jump to check it out, courtesy of G4TV.

If you've been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 non stop like the majority of Couch Athletics, there's no doubt you've run into several issues trying to log in, stay connected, and generally play the game online.  Most developers keep a tight lip as to what the cause is on their end but Dice played a different card by giving fans a rare look into what's going on and what they are doing about it via a post on their blog.  More detail after the break.

I've never even heard of the Blur Beta until today, and yet, thanks to File Planet, I've been entered to participate in tomorrow's early testing of the action-racing game. If you're willing to spend a couple of minutes, you can too.

Portal 2 was already announced, but what do we know about the game?  Read on to see some details, and catch-up on what's been going on this week!  With all the info flying around, it's always good to get a conglomeration from time to time.  Prepare for link bombardment!

Capcom released it's latest batch of DLC for 2009's co-op action-horror hit, Resident Evil 5, with "Desperate Escape" on the PS3 & Xbox 360 for $5 or 400 Microsoft space points.  Unlike the last offering, "Lost In Nightmares," this scenario takes place during the events of Resident Evil 5, detailing Jill Valentine & Josh Stone's story right after Jill is rescued by Chris.  In addition, more characters for "Mercenaries Reunion" come with this DLC pack letting players assume the role of Resident Evil 0 star Rebecca Chambers in addition to Josh.  For $5, this pack sounds well worth it.

Twitter erupted this morning with Xbox fan boys and the leaders of that pack, Major Nelson and Aaron Greenberg toting about like they run the online gaming market.  Apparently some rumors surfaced about the NPD report stating that the Xbox 360 was the most used online system.  A statistic I'm sure developers are anticipating more than anything else right now, thanks to pirates.  Let's avoid a rant here, and go straight to the hilarity of misread NPD reports, hit the jump for the full story.
