Usually when you pre-order things, you get something extra in return, like a little toy or an in-game item or unlock. Capcom is now offering a free t-shirt when you pre-order a copy of the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom 3 at the Capcom Store.

The game will be out in regular and special edition on February 15, 2011.

Every one’s favorite online retailer, Amazon,  has been known to cut us a whole slew of deals from time to time and today they have yet another.

Priced at $295.98, this means that you’re essentially getting a PlayStation 3 for $245.98.

There isn’t much else to tell you about this one. If you’re looking for a great deal on a PlayStation 3, now’s your change.

Ever since its release Crysis has been regarded as one of the most graphically advanced games of all time. Unfortunately, t the time of its release only those with the most technologically advanced computers could partake in the joy. Luckily, Crytek (the game’s developer) is looking to bring the game to the masses with Crysis 2 which will be available for home game consoles like the Xbox 360 and PS3.

However, it seems that the studio is looking to take things a step further as they have recently posted a job listing for iOS developers. While it’s not confirmed, this quite obviously leads us to believe that they will one day soon be developing games for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Then again, it could also mean they are creating supplementary mobile applications to generate buzz for forthcoming console titles so it’s any one’s guess at this point.

We’ll keep you posted.

Despite being in development for quite some time Gran Turismo 5 has been met with generally positive reception. Some have criticized the game for not living up to the massive hype that had accrued over the years but sales numbers haven’t failed to impress. In fact numbers have just begun rolling in that say Polyphony Digital managed to push 1.14 million units between November and December. Seeing how December is largely considered the holiday season it shouldn’t come as a surprise that 556,000 of the 1.14 units were sold in December.

Polyphony Digital has told us in the past that they plan to release periodical updates for Gran Turismo 5  meaning things can only get better from here on out. In other words, if you have yet to pick up Gran Turismo 5 you may be doing yourself an injustice.

Exactly when in April we aren’t sure but we’ll keep you posted.

If you go back jut a decade ago it would be hard to picture mobile phones as viable gaming platforms. However, as of late mobile platforms like Android and iOS have quickly outpaced dedicated mobile consoles like the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP with popular games like Angry Birds virtually becoming household names.

As you can see the plush toys will come in two different types, large 8-inch figures and smaller clip-on figures. Offered by UK toy company Firebox the larger toys will run £9.99 a piece while the smaller clip-on toys will run just £3.99.

Kinect has been a great seller for Microsoft over the past Holiday season, selling millions of units. With all those Kincets sold, it’s obvious that some of the games would have to follow suit in terms of sales.

Which is the case of Dance Central and Kinect Sports, each of which have sold over 1 million copies. Worldwide, Kinect has already topped 8 million in sales, so it won’t be surprising to see more Kinect titles reach the magic 1 million mark.
