Matrix Games' War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition, developed by 2 by 3 Games, is a new expansion for its WWII strategy game War in the Pacific, adding more detail, more history, and more features! This incremental hotfix update fixes two critical issues with the v1.00.84 official update.

Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing saga with an unprecedented level of action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.

Halo 3: ODST is a new game in the Halo saga that lets people experience events leading up to the epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and the motivations behind the Covenant's invasion of New Mombasa.

A little bit of excitement at the end of the day with Microsoft announcing a 250GB Elite Modern Warfare 2 bundle, and all nicely painted. Might have to get one of those suckers ....

Apart from that, the day was pretty uneventful on my end, mostly work. Adam called in with a bit of good news. Apparently we got a call back from Nathan Fillion's publicist, and we are going to do an interview later this week. For the uninitiated, Fillion is an actor who's best known as Capt. Mal Reynolds in the "Firefly" TV series and "Serenity" movie. He's currently starring as crime novel writer Richard Castle in the ABC series, "Castle," but more importantly for us gamers, he's voicing Buck in Halo 3: ODST. Since we're big Firefly fans (as evidenced by the title of this post), we were very excited by this news, so check back in a few days for the end result.

Another day, another batch of game trailers was released. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are trailers for:

 

• Borderlands [ALL] - Trailer (5)

We will update this throughout the day when new trailers become available. Read more for download links ..

While there is no word from TriStar whether they will commit to a follow up to the 2006 Silent Hill movie, which grossed $47 million in North America, screenwriter Roger Avary and producer Samuel Hadida have signed on to work on a sequel based on Konami's survival horror video game. Davis Films plans to start shooting next year as it is currently working on Resident Evil 4, while Avary, known for collaborating with Quentin Tarantino on Pulp Fiction, is currently writing the script for Return to Castle Wolfenstein for the French studio.

Having created the Lara Croft character in 1996, Toby Gard left then-developer Core Design a year later to go his own way and released Galleon: Islands of Mystery in 2004. After that, he came to Crystal Dynamics as one of the senior designers on the Tomb Raider team, where he would complement the existing team and create Tomb Raider: Legend. Earlier this year, Gard became lead designer on an unannounced Tomb Raider project, and while he refused to comment as to the real reason, Gard insists the split was amicable. Gard is currently a freelance consultant, with a focus on animation, story and cinematic design, character design, game design and balancing.
