Where there is Nintendo, so will there be Mario. Just confirmed, Nintendo will be showing off a playable demo featuring Mario’s Wii U debut in a new New Super Mario Bros.

Fans of frantic finger swiping combat are already familiar with Infinity Blade 2. The excellent action game is one of the most popular titles for iOS devices. A recent patch changes the game from a solitary experience into a social undertaking of thousands. The new Clashmob is a cooperative social battle where players work together to accomplish seemingly impossible goals.

We've got a new Star Trek teaser for you today. It's full of slow motion, base jumping, spacey scenes, pew-pew-pew noises, and glorious lens flare. Players will take control of Trek icons Kirk and Spock in this third-person shooter. Namco Bandai recently let the press get some hands-on time with the event, and we've got some new details on the gameplay.

As you all know, Sonic 4 Episode II will be featuring the classic duo of Sonic and Tails, exploring a new age of the Sonic combos these two will bring forth. Collaborative gameplay is the name of the game between Sonic and Tails this time around, using 1 of 3 combos to help players take on the difficult areas of any stage.

Microsoft has sent along a press release announcing that Halo 4 will be releasing world wide on November 6th, 2012.  The announcement will be celebrated tonight on Conan O'Brien on TBS at 11PM Eastern with a special segment focused on the game.

Ragnarok Odyssey launched back in February for the PlayStation Vita in Japan.  The title is a Monster Hunter like game where players can team up and complete quests.  The problem is, it was released without any online co-op, instead players were limited to AD-HOC co-op only.  For Japan, this isn't a HUGE deal - but if and when the game is released in North America, online co-op is a must.

The closest I have ever got to firing off a weapon in anger is Clay Pigeon Shooting.  The whip of the pottery skeet and boom of the shotgun feels primeval, but I can't quite get over the fact that I have to wear a tweed jacket.  I want to wear full camo and have a series of different and mind-blowingly powerful weapons to fire off.  To get my wish I may have to visit the world of Ghost Recon Future Solider, the new trailer shows a multitude of new weapons, as well as some fearsome gameplay footage.

Orion: Dino Beatdown, a promising co-op 1st-person shooter, comes to Steam and OnLive this Friday. If you're like me and have long felt the urge to deliver beatings of a downward variety to hordes of terrible lizards, this will seem like a long week. Thankfully developer Spiral Studios has released a new video documentary and handful of screenshots for their anti-dino shooter that may PC tide gamers over until release day.

Back in January, A World of Keflings developer NinjaBee announced a contest to let fans choose which direction the XBLA game's next downloadable content package would take. Not surprisingly, the candy-themed selection 'Candy for Keflings' bested the rest. Four months later, the DLC has yet to arrive, but NinjaBee has kindly provided a status update and new images (like the one above) to tide us over.

We picked up on some more updates about Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from PAX East, so sit back and get excited!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's sales figures are underperforming. The fastest selling game of all time has sold less units than its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops. This is according to analysts at Macquarie Equities. The actual numbers are not made public, so I guess we'll have to take their word for it. Hell, good enough for Gamasutra, good enough for me.  Sales were most notably down in March, where the military shooter only perfomed half as well as it did at this time last year.

Mass Effect 3 is by all accounts, a damn good game that's selling quite well.  According to Gamespot, the game has sold over 1.3 million copies across the 360, PS3 and PC.  Bravo.
