We're thrilled to announce this year's date for extreme miracle-making awesomeness. Extra Life, the 24-hour video game marathon will challenge gamers from around the world to play for 24 hours beginning Saturday, October 15th 2011 at 8am in their local timezone.
Together with their personal sponsors, Extra Life gamers will try to beat last year's record-setting total of more than $470,000. The best part? EVERY DOLLAR our gamers generate stays where it's raised with their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
If you’re a gamer looking for ways to celebrate Halloween this year, you should consider hosting a Halloween-Extra Life-Gaming extravaganza on October 20th. It’ll give you an excuse to cosplay while gaming all day and all night, and you will be saving sick children in the process. It’s basically win-win-win.
Here are 20 new IPs to keep an eye on. Some you’ve heard of, some you haven’t. Some could change the industry and a few may just be good for a few laughs, but they’ve all got a lil somethin-somethin.

Another week of 2011 is down, and has provided us with yet another healthy chunk of gaming news to digest. As weeks go it was a fairly leaky one, with both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the Gears of War 3 Epic Edition bonuses getting a slightly premature announcement.
The PSN took another week off and Square Enix had its own trouble with hackers, but the negatives were levelled out by the welcome announcements that long time franchises Hitman and Soul Calibur were back on the radar after a few years on hiatus and will be releasing fresh iterations in 2012. All that and more, after the jump!
