Looks like LEGO Batman isn't the only game being offered with the $199 Xbox 360 Arcade System. Another family friendly game and LEGO title, LEGO Indiana Jones, has been spotted to be included with the Xbox 360 Arcade System. Our very own Skyler spotted it at a Walmart in Canada, specifically at Walmart Store 1093 at 2170 Louie Drive, Westbank BC. See a snapshot taken in-store below. The offer doesn't appear online on Walmart.com, so we can't confirm if it's available in the US. Let us know if you've spotted it at Walmart or any other retailer!

Nintendo has announced the Wii Virtual Console and WiiWare releases coming today, starting at 9am PST. WiiWare gets Art Style: ORBIENT and Bomberman Blast (with Wii Remote motion support and Mii support!). Super Turrican 2 returns from the SNES era for today's Virtual Console release. I've reached the limit of my Wii's capacity... Nintendo, announce something soon (maybe this week?)!
Details on today's Wii Shop releases from Nintendo:
WiiWare: Releases
Art Style: ORBIENT (Nintendo, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Explore the universe like never before in Art Style: ORBIENT. Take control of gravity and anti-gravity and carefully maneuver your small star through 50 stages set in multiple galaxies. Collide with other stars to absorb them and make your own star expand in size, or capture the stars in your orbit and have them become your satellites. Space isn't empty, though, and you'll have to avoid bumping into obstacles or getting pulled into a black hole. If you feel like relaxing while still being challenged, this is the game for you. Its combination of simple controls, atmospheric sound and unique environment make for an experience unlike any other.
Bomberman Blast (Hudson Entertainment, 1-8 players, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Cartoon Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): A brand new addition to the Bomberman series is available on WiiWare. Up to eight players can battle online simultaneously via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. Simple controls make this a great game for family and friends to enjoy anytime. You can trigger new items by shaking the Wii Remote™ controller, creating new levels of Bomberman excitement. You can even take the intensity up another notch by adding your own Mii™ caricatures to the mix. Battle results can be recorded on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Ranking, so you can see how you stack up against others around the globe. This title will prove to be a blast for everyone--from those who've never touched a Bomberman game to the Bomberman masters.
Virtual Console releases:
Super Turrican 2 (Super NES™, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Violence, 800 Wii Points): As the last survivor of the United Freedom Forces, it is your duty to destroy the Machine's forces that have devastated the galaxy. Fight through countless hordes of enemies using everything at your disposal. Use weapons and power-ups to fight back the tide of oncoming enemies. Use special abilities like the Energy Wheel and Cyberfist to find secret areas and score extra lives. When your lives and continues are gone, the mission ends. You are the galaxy's last hope. Are you up to the challenge?

Moon will be released for the Nintendo DS on November 18th. The preorder items are available to those who reserve the game through Gamestop stores, as well as Gamestop.com. The preorder items include a telescoping stylus and an exclusive game case. Here are some details about Moon (from the press release):
"Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is an intense sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058. Researchers of the newly established Lunar Base Alpha are shocked when they discover a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it's a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch."

Dario Argento, one of the masters of the horror film genre, will be giving his blessing to the sci-fi horror game Dead Space . Doctor Kyne will be voiced by Dario Argento, creator of films such as Suspiria and Opera.
“Dead Space truly captures the essence of fear in an entertainment medium," said Argento. "Not only is it the most terrifying game I’ve ever played, but it’s also one that all fans of horror will appreciate.”
From EA:
"Dario Argento and videogames would normally seem like two very different and seemingly distant worlds in the eyes of many, but when the master of thriller was given the chance to play a character in Dead Space he didn’t think twice about it. The Italian director lent his decennial experience and actively contributed in defining the character. He provided precious and accurate suggestions about the overall tone and style of the voice acting, and didn’t just read the script. Thanks to his advice and attention to detail, the result is simply astounding, far beyond the usual ‘famous-voice-in-a-videogame’ cliché."
Dead Space will be available for the PLAYSTATION 3 , Xbox 360 and PC on October 14th. Dead Space has won the"Best Action/Adventure Game" game from E3 2008, beating out Resident Evil 5. I'm definitely pumped up for the release as well, being a big fan of sci-fi and horror movies, as well as videogames! From our various bits of coverage on the game, we can tell this has been a labor of love, or freakish love, from the creators of the game. See more here. Don't miss it! Immerse yourself into Dead Space on noknownsurvivors.com.

Bungie's Halo 3 has been a very successful game over the last year, and with today being the one year anniversary, Bungie has released a new teaser trailer: "Halo 3 - Keep it Clean." After taking a quick look at this trailer, it is very hard to determine if this is Bungie's next game release on the Xbox 360, or simply the rumored Halo 3 expansion.
Clues leading the the expansion of Halo 3 have been given in the video, such as having Halo 3 titled in the video name and also "Halo 3" being near the end of the video. Traxus? The City of New Mombasa (Halo 2)? ODST? There is much trivia due to this trailer, and hopefully Bungie will reveal more details of the new Halo game/expansion sometime very soon!
See the video below.
