Because the Kinect camera poses such wildly different controls than the standard Xbox 360 controller, going to the console's back catalog of games to add Kinect support seems almost unthinkable. But that didn't stop 4mm Games from going back to its rap-karaoke game and injecting some Kinect love...

Above: Reverie will send you back to the Castle to help Carmilla
Konami has announced two new DLC packs for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which will introduce new areas, monsters, and story lines. Titled ‘Reverie,’ the first of the two new add-ons will take players back to the Castle to aid former vampire servant Carmilla. But it’s the second DLC pack, ‘Resurrection’ that sounds most interesting…
Microsoft may have forced the developers of Gal Gun (aka the game in which you shoot women with “pheromones” as they make orgasmic squeals) to limit the panties in their game, but that doesn’t mean the merchandise can’t pander to panty-lovers...

Activision's feud with fired Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vince Zampella is now officially just one illicit gay affair away from a full-blown soap opera. Seriously, it's popcorn time. There could not be a better start to the panto season.
As you probably remember, the ex-Infinity Ward men - now at new studio Respawn Entertainment, under EA - are suing Activision. They're saying that previous to firing them. Activision deliberately withheld staff bonuses in order to bribe Infinity Ward staff to stay onboard.
*boo! hiss!*
As of today though, Activision is claiming that EA boss John Riccitiello schmoozed West and Zampella to leave Activision as long ago as last summer, and that the IW men tried to "crush" rival Call of Duty dev Treyarch. Oh, and that Activision itself only didn't pay the bonuses because West and Zampella wouldn't let them. And it only gets juicier. Click on, and I'll relate to you the rest of these insane "Oh no, he isn't!" "Oh yes he is!" shenanigans.
