- Edge Online has awarded the "Best Sex Scene in a Game This Year" title to Overlord II. To the surprise of absolutely no one.

- According to Sony the biggest (meaning most simultaneous conections) online game on PS3 is not Resistance 2 or Killzone 2 but SOCOM: Confrontation.

- Microsoft says that Facebook and Twitter integration will be coming to Xbox Live before Christmas this year.

- A transcript of a chat the developers of Star Trek Online is now available for your perusal.

- Blacklist be damned! A trio of fighters, led by heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, have signed up for EA Sports' MMA.

- Whoopsie! Looks like some butterfingers accidentally reset the Halo Wars online leaderboards.

- Both Myst & Infamous look to be getting film versions.

- Forget zombies, the robot apocalypse has apparently begun in Sweden.

A Myst movie could be great in a bunch of ways. I haven't read the book that got optioned, but The Book of Atrus would be a super cool movie.

And I think it would be interesting to see a full-length live-action feature film with a silent protagonist and mostly silent surroundings, like the original Myst. Not first person, just...quiet.

So, will Dana White follow through on his promises and ban Fedor from ever coming to UFC? He's been courting him for a while now with a deal supposedly close. This may be a case of White needing Fedor being of higher priority than his feud with EA.

With the demands of Fedor's Management who the hell knows if there's even a chance he's coming to the UFC. There has been so much info flying around it's hard to keep track of at the moment.

Who plays Halo Wars? Who would notice?

I need to play Overlord II.

I think the best sex scene I've ever seen is in Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy). Not the North American version, but the Euro one. That scene was great, and it was done tastefully.

Here's the scene if you're curious:

Thats too bad fanboys got their scores reset. I've had halowars sitting there for awhile but haven't played it since it released. I should try it out sometime... hey. if i play now i could be on top of the leaderboards by noon.

I do not play Halo Wars and even if I did I'm not an e-peen exhibitionist but the scores being reset really sucks for those that are into that kind of thing. Trying to stay in the upper echelon of any online game usually requires a significant time investment.

I still wish Halo Wars would come out on PC. I think I should just get it over with and buy it for 360 already.
