In a move that looks as if it were ripped from the pages of Child's Play's playbook, Microsoft Corp. today they would be partnering with the Companions in Courage Foundation.  The nonprofit organization is dedicated to supporting children and families who are overcoming life-threatening obstacles.  Through this partnership, Microsoft plans to place hundreds of Xbox 360 game kiosks in the playrooms of children’s hospitals across the country.

With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV just one week away, it is about time we start seeing some "inside" information about the game.  So, without further ado, here is the full "mostly official" Xbox Achievement list (well, it does total 1,000 points, so must be legit!).

If you simply love Edward Carnby and really want to be Alone in the Dark with him then you might also be interested in the super limited boxed set of the game that was announced today. It even includes a statue of the protagonist.

Midway released a bunch of assets for their new open world driving game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, Wheelman.  The game stars Vin Diesel and is scheduled to ship to stores this fall.

Late last year, PC and PS3 owners were treated to another sequel in the Unreal Tournament series, and although Xbox 360 gamers would have the chance to play as well, they would have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time.

Today, Midway and Epic finally announced that the release date for the highly anticipated and award-winning, first-person shooter, and 360 owners will be rewarded for their patience.  Arriving June 30th, the 360 version will contain two new characters, five new expansive maps and split screen capability.
