Posting on his personal Twitter account, president and executive producer at Q-Games (creator of all things PixelJunk) Dylan Cuthbert has revealed that the studio’s next effort, PixelJunk Shooter, has ‘gone gold’,’ although in digital download parlance that probably just means ‘it’s done and has been approved by the platform holder.’
PixelJunk Shooter is expected to release in Japan on December 24th, exclusively on the PlayStation Network, with a release in the West not far behind.

Though The Saboteur developer Pandemic Studios is losing its 200-person staff, the company’s final game has just “gone gold” across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. In a post on the studio’s forums, Community Manager Mathew Everett noted that while “this has been a very difficult week for Pandemic Studios,” The Saboteur will still be “available across Europe starting December 4 and throughout North America on December 8.”
Unfortunately, it would appear that EA (the game’s publisher) has forgotten about said release dates, choosing to offer as little marketing push as possible. We wish the folks at Pandemic Studios the best and offer our condolences to those who recently lost their jobs.

Sony has announced that the God of War Collection has gone gold and will be available for the PS3 across North America on the 17th of November.
The God of War Collection includes both God of War and God of War II in HD on a single Blu-ray disc. Of course the new HD versions will also include lots of trophies. God of War III Design Director Todd Papy explains: “Other than all the visual improvements that we added to the God of War Collection, the most exciting part for me was the opportunity to go back and add in full trophy support for both games.”
“Not only will the trophies hopefully be an enjoyable way to check your progress through the game, but they will also give the hard-core God of War fans some serious additional bragging rights. And on a more personal level, the trophies were a really great opportunity for us to share some of our stories and inside jokes from God of War and God of War II.”
For more insight into how Sony picked the trophies as well as a full list of the bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies to win in God of War and God of War II, head over to SCEA’s PlayStation Blog. For more information about the game, including the first trailer, don’t miss our previous coverage.

Always read the fine print. Part of a footnote from this morning’s Xbox 360 price cut press release bore this little oh-by-the-way: “Xbox Live Gold Membership will be required for Twitter and Facebook when they are available.” When MCV followed up on the tucked-away tidbit, a Microsoft spokesperson suggested that the press release’s statement was “inaccurate” and that the company was “still formulating its plans” for integrating the social networking services into Xbox Live. A few short hours later, those plans appear to be formulated.
A Microsoft representative has clarified for Joystiq, “Facebook and Twitter on Xbox Live will be free to Gold members, with a free trial period also available for Silver members.” Specific details on what’s included in the trial are not currently available, but clearly Microsoft is continuing its policy to reward Gold subscribers for, well, their subscriptions, despite what must be a tempting motivation to make Twitter and Facebook free-for-all features. Social networking’s the killer app, after all (right?) — and Microsoft could use some new ammo in the console war.

This is, necessarily, your final reminder: today is the last day of the “year” for Club Nintendo Gold or Platinum status in North America, which means that today is the last day for you to enter points toward whatever the exclusive free gift is going to be. We don’t dare hope for the kind of awesomeness seen in Japan’s Platinum rewards, but we want free things.
If you aren’t yet at 300 coins (for Gold) or 600 coins (for Platinum), and you’ve got more games to register, get to it right now! If you’ve been thinking of picking up Punch-Out!! or something this week, you should probably do it today! Conversely, if you’re at 600 now and you have more stuff to register, wait until tomorrow so it counts toward next year’s total!
If you’re not sure about the eligibility of an older (pre-Club Nintendo) game and don’t want to waste time registering it, consult the list of eligible games in the “Product Registration” area of the Club Nintendo FAQ.
