Staying at home on Black Friday? Well, we're sure that you've a lot of technological thingamajigs to amuse you while pandemonium is erupting on North American stores. If you're an avid player of Firefly Studio's Stronghold Legends, then this tidbit is something that would put a smile on your bored and restless faces.

2K and Firefly Studios recently announced the first ever developer vs. fans match-up in Stronghold Legends, which sort of like the virtual version of the Adam Sandler movie, The Longest Yard, only this time you're King Arthur or Count Vlad or Siegfried.

Anyhow, this will take place today, November 24 at 6 p.m. GMT or 10 a.m. PST. Die-hard fans of the game will get an opportunity to test their mettle against Firefly's David Robertson and Niall Benzie.

The first session will only last for an hour but the team behind Stronghold is working to schedule additional future events. For you to get into the game, all you have to do is post in a forum thread that you can go to if you click the link below. Then, you'll be sent a password via PM on that forum which you would use in the game. When the clock strikes 6 p.m. or 10 a.m., simply log on to the Multiplayer lobby and join the game.

Interested? The read link is right there, we trust you know what to do. Have fun, you guys!

For those of you still shaking off that TGIF feeling and the hangovers from celebrating the past launch parties, we've got something that'll wake you up faster than a triple slug of espresso...or a Smashmywii vid...

Reader Badam (Thanks, dude!) just tattled about the lineup of games that are to be released this week, so if your (or your parent's) credit cards survived last weekend, this week's just the thing to finish 'em off.

Two games in this list did strike our fancy - Rainbow Six: Vegas for the 360 just launched yesterday, and Thrillville for the PSP, PS2, Xbox will be coming out in just a few hours today.

And for the guys who loved Oblivion , you'll be happy to know Bethesda's releasing Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine, which serves as an expansion pack for the original Oblivion game. Well, enough of the banter - on to the list for you Black Friday escapade!
