So the World In Conflict Game Off challenge has come and gone, and if you look closely in the smoking ruins of a small northwestern town you might catch a glimpse of mine and Crecente's battered bodies laying in pieces along a mile of crater-pitted roadway. Two rounds were played, one with Kotaku representing the US and the other representing mother Russia, and in both instances devs Vextor and Emma completely decimated our pitiful team in minutes. The third round we swapped partners, with Vextor and I facing Crecente and Emma. Showing what a difference a good partner makes, this time the game lasted until the timer ran out, and when the smoke cleared my team stood triumphant, waving the American flag while enjoying some hot dogs and apple pie. Remember, just because we were pathetic losers doesn't mean you have to be. Keep an eye posted for the aforementioned cool swag that we'll be giving away in the near future! More »

It seems like video games are becoming the give-away du jour for talk shows nowadays. The latest is Ellen DeGeneres, who gave away a Wii before it launched.

Reader Shannon writes to tell us that Dairy Queen is holding a contest this week involving scratch-off cards. Among the rather spectacular list of prizes is a Playstation 3 (which DQ inexplicably values at $400). But if you read the fine print you see that Dairy Queen reserves the right to substitute the Cell-injected, blu-ray-playing, WiFi-enabled next-gen console with a Playstation 2 if stock for the new console isn't plentiful enough at the time the winning claim is made.

There are only 150 of these, and they won't be sold in stores. Thankfully. Members of Japan's Pokemon Daisuke Club ("I Love Pokemon Club") have a shot at bagging this specially made Pikachu Lite.
