Both Amazon's download service and GamersGate have several King's Bounty games on sale. All things aside, Amazon looks like the way to go as its prices are lower -- the Platinum Edition is just $4.99. Amazon also has its usual discounts on newer PC downloads; NBA 2K12 was added this week and is only $23.99.

With all of the press about Max Payne 3 this week, the first two Max Payne games have been put on sale at both Impulse and Direct2Drive. The bundle of the two games looks like the way to go -- at less than $4 there's a good deal of entertainment to be had from both games, even if the story is a bit crazy.

We recently visited Sony for a Vita press event where their goal wasn't to reveal information, but to allow media to spend more time with many of the same builds that were at last month's Tokyo Game Show. So after we each spent a couple hours of hands-on time -- spread across Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Resistance: Burning Skies, Wipeout 2048, Hot Shots Golf, Gravity Rush, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Reality Fighters, and Little Deviants -- we sat down and had a chat about what we liked and disliked.

Jose Otero: I'm kind of torn on my favorite game from the event. I dug Gravity Rush because it's a fresh concept that utilizes a really cool-looking floating mechanic to maneuver the main character around -- it's an action game, sure, but it also uses mechanics I don't think I've seen before. On the other hand, I liked UMvC3 because it's a known quantity for me and I find that genre really appealing. So I'm stuck between the game I recognize and another that looks cool, but I don't really know enough about.

Warning: The video above is full of NSFW language.

Of course, that should be a given as it showcases footage from Bulletstorm, a game laced with profanity. The video is a collection of many of the swears from the early portion of the game and is just a sample of what you'll hear over the course of the full campaign. Given just how much naughty language there is, one might assume developer People Can Fly was fully aware of how it would come across. Yet it wasn't until fairly late in the game that the Polish developer grasped just how dirty the characters' mouths are.

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (a bundle of the first three MK games) was the best-selling game on PSN last month, followed by Resident Evil 4, From Dust, Angry Birds, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3. The latter two don't take into account downloads by PlayStation Plus members, who were given free access to both as of September 20.

Final Fantasy VII, perhaps the most popular game in the franchise, was still selling well enough to come in at number ten despite making its debut during E3 2009. It made a splash at the time, quickly selling in excess of 100,000 copies in just two weeks.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding of the term 'beta test,'" Liu told the Guardian. The Operation Metro map featured in the beta may lack vehicles and not show off Conquest mode, two things fans want to see, but again, this is a beta and therefore the goals DICE had in mind might not perfectly align with what gamers want in a demo.

"We ran the alpha tests with a Rush map and we wanted to have some sort of reference so we could compare results -- so we needed to have more-or-less the same map," he explained. "But we do understand the concerns that we didn't show a Conquest map, but we have demoed Caspian Border, and we did run a Conquest map as a limited PC-only test."

The upcoming 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations looks to be returning to the series' roots as a survival horror series, but that's not indicative of the direction the entire franchise is moving in. In June we saw the arcade-style shooter The Mercenaries 3D released on 3DS, and Slant Six is currently at work on Operation Raccoon City, a third-person shooter. Recent numbered games (RE4 and 5) have been more action-oriented than the older games in the series. It's a diverse array of games to come out of the same franchise in a fairly short period of time, and that's helped to keep the series from becoming stale, according to Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata.

"At the core, basically, we want to make the best use of our brand. Resident Evil is an IP, and a franchise, that people have loved for a long time," Kawata told Gamasutra. "It's still very, very popular and we're very, very happy about that, and we want to basically answer all the requests that we get about the series. People want to see a lot of different experiences within the Resident Evil universe, and so we've been fortunate enough to be able to answer those requests with a lot of different experiences, in different forms, in games."

Speaking with IGN, Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen were asked about what they're working on besides the story for the upcoming Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure game.

"So, yes, we will continue writing movies," the duo said. "We are also working on several new and very exciting opportunities. We're in conversations with Zynga to do something with one of their brands. Can't really say too much on that front yet, but 'Old MacDonald' didn't have a factory, if you get our drift."

The focal point of the UFC app appears to be pay-per-views. And that should come as no surprise -- PPV revenue is a huge aspect of UFC's revenue and it's in its best interest to make purchasing a PPV as easy and convenient as possible (and watching an unauthorized stream online as unattractive as possible). Both standard definition and high definition (in 720p) versions of PPVs will be available, each at their own respective prices, which will presumably be the same amount you'd pay through your cable provider. Microsoft Points won't be necessary; you'll be able to pay directly with your credit card through Xbox Live, so there's no need to worry about purchasing points and having some left over that may never be used.

The first PPV to be available through the Xbox Live app is UFC 140 on December 10, headlined by Jon "Bones" Jones versus Lyoto Machida for the light heavyweight title and Frank Mir versus Ant�nio Rodrigo Nogueira.

Excellent 2D indie platformer VVVVVV is headed to the 3DS eShop.

Publisher Nicalis announced today it had reached a deal with designer Terry Cavanagh to bring the unusually-titled game to Nintendo's latest handheld. It was originally released on computers in 2010, making a name for itself with its old-school gameplay and soundtrack, composed by Magnus P�lsson. It's a fairly straightforward platformer where you're able to reverse gravity in order to navigate the environment.

"We believe, for some consumers, the time is [right], but for other consumers, the time is still not [right]," Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida told Edge. "So we believe the time is still not right to go download-only as a platform. Some PS Vita titles, like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, will be close to 4GB in size, which could be too large to download for consumers who do not have a fast broadband connection. Also, some consumers like shopping in retail stores, talking to knowledgeable store clerks, buying and playing games on the spot. We do not want to remove that capability from consumers."

Fortunately for those who do wish to abandon the need for physical games, Sony has indicated more than once that all Vita retail games will be available as downloads. (There will be some downloadable games that can't be found at retail, but by and large those should be smaller titles as opposed to something on par with Uncharted.) This is very good news, and it's nice to see Sony learned from the PSP Go. Those who purchased the device had spent a premium to go digital-only and then were unable to play the entire back catalog of PSP games because many titles were not available on the PlayStation Store. To make matters worse, the lack of sales and competitively-priced content (as compared with what could be found at retail) made owning a Go a less than attractive prospect.

3DS owners can check out the classic Game Boy billiards game Side Pocket for $2.99. It features 16-ball and 9-ball versions to play, and while the animation isn't especially great (what did you expect?), playing well presents you with the opportunity to be called a hustler by a young-looking, monochromatic girl as you jump up and basically fly away. (See it for yourself in the trailer on Nintendo's website.)

The other 3DS exclusive item is an update for Pokedex 3D. You can download it by opening the app, hitting the Settings button (the gear icon) in the upper-right corner, and selecting the Update button.

Ubisoft today announced plans to produce a TV series based on the Rabbids franchise. It'll create 78 CG episodes in total, each about seven minutes in length. Nickelodeon will then package three episodes together at a time to create 26 30-minute broadcasts. They'll be aired by Nickelodeon worldwide except in France, Ubisoft's home country; broadcasting company France T�l�visions will air the show there and in other French-speaking countries in Europe.

The subject of Red Dead on PC and Rockstar allegedly abandoning the platform came up in an FAQ Rockstar published this week. The answer didn't dive into any specifics, which is what we really want to know, but it did imply RDR on PC wouldn't be viable.

"We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we've released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we've 'abandoned the PC platform,'" the FAQ reads. "We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans -- that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we're well aware that some fans have been asking for it.

The new game, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, was unveiled today by Game Informer. Details are very scant, but after how War for Cybertron turned out, Transformers fans should be quite pleased to hear another original game is in the works after the movie-inspired Dark of the Moon turned out to be a disappointment.

The civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons continues to rage on in Fall of Cybertron; unfortunately for those eager to know what will happen, we only have that and the name to go on at this point as far as story details go. Well, that and an image of Optimus Prime lifting up Bumblebee, who seems to be dead (or close to it).

Following the pink system's launch on October 20, a white 3DS (pictured below) is set to become available in Japan on November 3. That will bring the total number of 3DS colors up to five in Japan -- aqua, black, and red being the others, those three being the only available options in the United States. (Although we did recently get a pink DSi XL in the U.S.!)

What should be an even hotter item in Japan is a Monster Hunter system bundle. It includes the Monster Hunter 3G game itself and a specially-designed white 3DS. The system has the Monster Hunter 3G name and some artwork on the outside of the system's top screen in red. The bundle's price is set at 20,800 yen (about $272) and is set for release on December 10, the same day as the standalone game.
