It seemed like a bit of a stretch from the beginning, but it looks like India’s $35 Android tablet is intent on proving the skeptics wrong. The Indian government has just announced that it’s awarded the manufacturing contract to HCL Technologies (makers of the once world’s cheapest laptop), and that the first batch of tablets are slated to be available by January 10th. That initial run will reportedly only include the 7-inch model that we’ve been seeing all along, but there’s also apparently 5-inch and 9-inch versions planned for launch at a later date. We also presume that the tablet is still hanging onto that $35 price tag (for university students, at least), but that key detail is curiously absent from this latest announcement.

Vanquish is one of those games that just seems to fall by the wayside in the press and public knowledge, partly due to it’s style and publisher. It is developed by Platinum Games, a company known for releasing underground hits such as Mad World, Bayonetta and even lesser known Infinite Space. Though all of these games have received much praise they seldom sold well outside of Japan, and Vanquish looks to be no different. It is quite evident that it is a Japanese developed shooter, with a very similar feel to that of Lost Planet.

I’m not sure if many people were aware that Mafia 2 already has a downloadable add-on just two weeks after its release date. In Jimmy’s Vendetta you play as Jimmy, a gun for hire always being brought on to clean up people’s messes but in typical mafia fashion you get betrayed by the ones who hired you and now is the time to seek revenge on those bastards.

Some brand new screen shots of Bioshock: Infinite were just released showing off the nice new environments, they seem to be a lot brighter then the last two Bioshock games but still somehow feels creepy.

During the Gearbox panel at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) They gave a release date of September 28th for the fourth downloadable add on for Borderlands. Along with the new DLC for Borderlands they will also be releasing a patch to raise the level cap from 61 to 69, this will also effect those who did not purchase The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC raising their caps from 51 to 69 . Gearbox has not given a release date for the patch but they are aiming for one near that of the new DLC. Sounds like Gearbox had a fantastic panel at PAX this year. Setting a release date for this DLC, annoucning a raising of the level cap and showing off gameplay of the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever (Finally)!!

G-Mate is a little known company that is likely to get a lot of exposure in the coming month, thanks to their new gun controller. The controller itself is a futuristic style gun with the words MAG emboldened on it, and all the necessary buttons within fingers reach. Now despite the name of the peripheral it will work on Xbox 360 and PC as well as the PS3, and is not limited to any one FPS. The only thing missing from this device is a second analog nub, and as crazy as it may sound, it is not needed as the gun itself is used to turn and look much like you may be used to in Wii shooters.

GBA RPGers of years past will likely remember the Golden Sun series with a tinge of nostalgia, it was a revolution for the Gameboy Advance, as it was one of the first to show of 3D style graphics on the handheld. Now you can create some nostalgic memories again with the upcoming Dark Dawn, a Golden Sun game that takes place 30 years after the events of the first games. It probably feels like it has been 30 years since The Lost Age came out, for the fans at least, and there have been many rumours and fakes mentioned in previous years to fuel the fires of doubt that this game would ever be released.
