In case you somehow missed it, we've got a huge thread of Black Friday video game deals from all of the major B&M retailers. Special thanks to etschell for helping to keep it organized.

Still no word on Amazon's offerings, but we hope they can repeat last year's awesome effort.

In addition to the Ghostbusters game, the Amazon Exclusive Slimer Edition includes:

It’s difficult to believe it was only last fall when Left 4 Dead first impressed upon us the importance of the buddy system when faced with B-movie inspired zombie uprisings. A year to the date later, we’re presented with a sequel that is bigger and more fleshed out than its campy predecessor. There are more missions, more infected types, more weapons, more items, and more game modes. The quantity of content is an obvious plus, what with the impending zombie apocalypse looming in our not so distant future. Sure, we’re going to need all the practice we can get, but does Left 4 Dead 2 sacrifice quality for quantity?

Last year, CAGs raised over $32,000 (up from $27K in 2007) for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. This year, let's see if we can hit $40,000 before the year is through.

For every $5 donated via PayPal through the CAG ChipIn system, you will receive one entry into a raffle with great prizes such as a $500 Amazon Gift Certificate. Every year, the CAG Community donates some really cool and generous prizes and I'm sure the tradition will continue again. I expect the prize list to grow and grow until the very end of the fundraiser.

For more details and a current prize list, please click here

With Black Friday around the corner, I guess it's not surprising we've got another lackluster set of Sunday ads.

Both Best Buy and Toys R Us are offering a $10 gift card with Assassin's Creed II. You need to be a Reward Zone Gamer's Club Member to get the deal at Best Buy and the offer is only valid on Tuesday at Toys R Us. Alternatively, Amazon has it cheaper and is throwing in a $10 credit.

The last time I strapped on a pair of shin guards and laced up some Sambas, I was on one of the best eighth grade teams in the state of Ohio. My coach’s name was Danny, our team was called the Fairfield Thunderbirds, and our white shorts were dangerously transparent if the forecast called for rain. These bits of minutiae aren’t likely to pop up in Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz, but unless you are familiar with international soccer, the 3500 included questions will seem every bit as trivial.

Since the dawn of time, man has had an insatiable instinct to shoot dinosaurs in the face with high-powered weaponry. Sadly, our forefathers could not curtail their joyous expeditions and blasted these majestic beasts straight into extinction. Thankfully, modern men can simulate the thrill of the hunt by killing virtual dinos. Will Jurassic: The Hunted quench our carnal needs of slaughtering oversized lizards or does it somehow kill the dinosaur-hunting fun?

It’s been only a few short years since the music genre exploded with the release of the original Guitar Hero. Since then, we’ve moved on to forming full bands of plastic guitars, mics, and drums. Despite the progress, many feel the genre’s already on the verge of becoming oversaturated and stagnant. DJ Hero hopes to keep things fresh by exploring beyond pure rock music and adding a new plastic instrument to the mix. At $120, DJ Hero certainly isn’t cheap, but is the hip-hop fantasy it fulfills to a 30 year-old white nerd worth the scratch?
