We're back from vacation (you can view our Bend, OR pics here). While we were gone, we missed some fun and exciting videogame happenings. Below you will find links to some of last week's gaming highlights:

• Traveller's Tales and LucasArts announce 'LEGO Indian Jones' | Trailer
• Extended 'Resident Evil 5' trailer released
• New 'Mass Effect' trailer released
• Retail ads suggest $50 X360 price cut imminent
• Convicts using N64 Rumble Pack to ink themselves
• Target to sell Blu-ray only
• Ubisoft to develop and publish 'Heroes' game
• Ubisoft currently developing 'Beowolf'
• 'Splinter Cell: Conviction' pushed back to Q1 2008
• PS2 most played console, PS3 least played
• Martha Stewart bakes a Wii cake

In terms of walkthrough publishing, we're awaiting the next round of big games to be released in mid-August (think 'Metroid Prime 3', 'Mass Effect', 'Blue Dragon', and 'Medal of Honor: Airborne'). We'll begin work as soon as we get our hands on the titles...and won't stop until the post holiday rush. No wonder we needed a vacation. Oy!
