It’s quite surprising that Rage wont be out on PC and consoles for another year, while it has been released on the iPhone today. Called “Rage: Mutant Bash TV”, the game is built on the new id Tech 5 engine, and is available in standard version ($1) and HD version ($2), and weighs in at a massive 537 MB for the SD version and 743 MB for the HD version. Hopefully you got enough free space.

Chillingo’s Cut The Rope iOS game recently surpassed its 1 millionth sale on iPhone and iPad store.

OnLive is already available for play on PCs and Netbooks, offering streaming gaming on a variety of devices. However, we’ve always anticipated the small console for those who want to play OnLive on their TVs. The MicroConsole is now up for pre-order, and costs $99. It allows you to play PS3, PC and Xbox 360 games on your TV through OnLive’s service. Of course, you still have to pay for the games.

Ubisoft’s stock has taken the biggest plunge in over a decade, according to Bloomberg, where it saw a 22% drop yesterday. Analysts have changed their opinion on the stock, from a favorable “buy” to a more cautious “hold”. It’s of no surprise — Ubisoft hasn’t released any major titles this year, but they have several AAA games queued up for 2011, which should help its share price.

Bethesda has revealed the first DLC for Fallout New Vegas, which will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. The DLC, called Dead Money, pits the player with three other captured wastelanders on a journey to find the treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino — which of course, makes us think about the classic “Treasure of The Sierra Madre” film, with Humphrey Bogart. Anyway, the DLC will retail for $10 and will be available on December 21.

A few days ago we reported that K2 Network had been rumored to have acquired APB from Realtime Worlds.

Three years after acquiring Bizarre Creations, Activision is now shutting down the developer. Bizarre is responsible for the Project Gotham Racing series, and the recent Blur, which Activision says was a financial failure, so big that it’s the result of the studio shutting down. Activision released the following statement:
“Over the past three years since our purchase of Bizarre Creations, the fundamentals of the racing genre have changed significantly. Although we made a substantial investment in creating a new IP, Blur, it did not find a commercial audience. Bizarre is a very talented team of developers, however, because of the broader economic factors impacting the market, we are exploring our options regarding the future of the studio, including a potential sale of the business.”

Microsoft’s massive ad campaign seems to be paying off, as Kinect has surpassed 1 million in sales during its first 10 days on the market. Microsoft still targets 5 million Kinects sold by the end of the year, a goal that’ll certainly require continuous and expensive ad campaigns.
