If you liked Epic Games' Gears of War(Xbox 360, PC) and desperately want more of Marcus Fenix and his Locust-chainsawing exploits, then this news should come as a treat: DC Comics, the comic-book publishing company responsible for greats such as Batman and Superman, will be handling the comic book series based on the game's franchise. All the details in the full article.

It's been reported earlier that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group is acquiring TT Games, the studio behind the highly successful Lego games. Guess for how much though? A whopping GBP 100 million (US$ 206 million)!

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!
