Like Guitar Hero 5, the more pop-ish Band Hero will offer drop-in and drop-out cooperative play for any instrument while in the middle of a song. Hopefully this becomes a staple feature in all music and rhythm games moving forward, I'm looking at you Rock Band franchise!
Tripwire Interactive has announced it will self publish its six player co-op shooter, Killing Floor, in North America. The game is set for a retail release "shortly" for the wallet friendly price of $19.99. This is good news for folks afraid of Valve's Steam service or other digital distribution methods. But really, there's no reason to be afraid, the scary digital monsters won't get you.

After what seemed like months of rumors, Sony has finally officially confirmed a new PlayStation 3 console today dubbed the PS3 Slim. It's 32% smaller, 36% lighter and consumes 34% less power.

Considering you can get the full retail game for $28 (shipping included) I'm not quite sure you want to hop on the On-Demand bandwagon just yet.
