TUESDAY GAMING HEADLINES

I'm heading to the ODST bus today to go check out what ODST is all about, they have this custom military truck with 8 xbox 360's in back setup to play 8 player 'firefight' mode which sounds like a co-op game type maybe similar to Hord in gears? We'll see.

And in case you weren't aware, if you're picking up Batman today you might want to buy it at Toys R Us. If you are a member of their club (it's free you just sign up on thier website and print out your card), you get a $30 gift card if you buy it between 10am and 2pm today in-store only. Online you get a free copy of lego batman instead.
