The first of hopefully many Blizzard-madeStarCraft IIcustom maps is out, and it’s called “Burning Tide.” As you might expect based on the name and attached screenshot, why yes, this is based on the stellar single-player mission “The Devil’s Playground” in which you fight against lava swells to collect precious minerals with an army of SCVs.

It was a fun little free activity,if a bit shallow. It featured only two courses, one each on Venus and Mars. There were a few short quests attached to it and some cosmetic gear, but not much else....

A page forDuke Nukem Manhattan Projecthasappeared on Xbox.com, all but confirming that the game will arrive on Xbox LIVE in the near future. Or, as the page suggestions “TBD.” We’d more or less knownthis was inevitable, after showing up on a LinkedIn resume and later the Korean ratings board. But with an Xbox.com page, it’s almost certain we’re looking at a lock for the game’s release. Unfortunately, the description doesn’t add anything we don’t already know, describing the game as an action title that has Duke blasting through 24 levels and blowing crap up with big weapons....

Aliens vs. Predator. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. It didn’t take a genius to see that something was amiss at Sega’s E3 booth. Veritable mountains of blood and boobs were countered only by a small, cutesy, and sadly neglected group of PlayStations running the latest build of a redundantly-titled game in which Sonic the Hedgehog engages in a good, clean kart race against the likes of Eggman and Samba de Amigo....
