Duke Nukem forever a game which ironically is taking forever to be released is finally getting some love over at PAX. The rumors that gearbox (same guys who made Borderlands) are working on Duke Nuken forever turns out to be true! Now the question in everyone’s mind is…how many times will the project get canceled?

We all know Japan is always one step ahead of us when comes to Nintendo games. Apparently there will be a “Super Mario Collection Special Pack” that is going to be released in Japan October 21. The collection seems to be pretty much a port of Super Mario All stars (SNES) but it will also have a nifty little book showing material from the developers, and it will have soundtrack CD for the whole game. The game will cost 2,500 yen ($30) and as of now we don’t know if it will be released in America or not. I myself am not sure if it’s worth $30 for 4 Mario games, they will have to include Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG, and Super Mario 64 for me to really care about it. Now if it was released for the DS, I would be buying this sucker day one. For now we can only hope.

Although it’s not nearly as impressive as Modern Warfare 2′s seven million in day one. Starcraft II shows gamers once again that PC gaming is still far from over. Having heard nothing but the best things for the game, I find it very hard to think why anyone who likes RTS games wouldn’t want to buy this one. Game of the year? What do you think? Share your comments below we love to hear it.

Microsoft’s Mascot Major Nelson has just announced that subscription fees for Xbox live will be raised. The one month subscription will now cost $9.99 ($2 extra), three months is now $24.99 ($5 extra), and one year subscription is now $59.99 ($10 extra). The new prices will start in November, so I highly suggest you stock up now. Newegg and Amazon got a good deal going on right now. For $39.99 you can get an all year of Xbox live. No doubt Microsoft wants some more of that money, and considering the upcoming titles like Halo Reach and Call of Duty Black ops gamers will gladly fork over that money.

Nintendo has just announced that DSi price will be dropping from $169.99 to $149.99 and DSiXL will go from $189.99 to $169.99. What is really interesting is that the DS lite did not receive a price drop. If you somehow don’t have a DS yet it might be a good time to get one this holiday season, or you might want to wait for the 3DS (which the release date and price will be announced on September 29.)

Vanquish is one of those games that is probably not on your radar because Sega can’t advertise to save their lives. But if you don’t know a lot about Vanquish here’s your change to get little taste of Platinum games upcoming title. The game looks really good and you should definitely take a look at the demo, you won’t be disappointed. Unfortunately the demo comes out same day as Metroid Other M, and I think I’ll be busy that day. The Demo will be coming for PS3 and Xbox 360 in August 31 in North America, and in Europe September 1.
