The final day of images are live, check out the gallery below. Cosplay, Collectables and more are all inside to close out the 5 days of madness that is SDCC. Also I fixed the gallery system (finally) so everyone can actually preview images instead of loading the raw files.

The winner of the LIMBO contest will be announced shortly, hopefully everyone participated that had interest.

While the updates were slow the past few days it was for a greater good, today I get to announce that from now through July 26th at 12:00pm PST we will be taking entries to win a copy of LIMBO for the Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade).

Hopefully it’s good turnout, although who knows, it could be completely embarassing with just russian bots trying to win. (thank you spam filters)

Also the contest is running beyond the release date of the 21st as we’ll be at Comic-Con 2010. Good luck to everyone I look forward to the results. The winner will be announced here and sent their code via email.

Update:

Congratulations to reflex! I just sent your XBLA code for LIMBO via the provided email. Thank you everyone for participating, for a full breakdown on how the winner was chosen check here.

Lost in shadow brings players to a mysterious world, the first experience is a tower. Filled with shadows and casting shadows across the land, with the help of Spangle the wing sylph players can move lights around the world to create new paths. Without being affected by the gravity, players are able to battle enemies and travel freely through the landscape. Check out the screen pack below to get a better taste for this unique adventure.

With the series still going (sorry I had a mind lapse there thinking it was over) lasers and portals and lions and tigers and… wait a minute. Nevermind. Anyway, lasers are a portal’s best friend in some cases, watch Chell drop reflectors to get through the latest challenge ahead.

We’re one step closer to holodecks and transporters, NZXT unleashes their latest accessory to the PC market today. The Sentry LXE is a touch screen LCD fanbus allowing users to dial in the speed of each fan; also maintaining other functions such as date and time.

The LCD is fully adjustable with the ability to disable the display when gaming to enhance the atmosphere. 5 thermal probes monitor active temps for hot pockets of air allowing for users to dial in the Sentry to provide more flow. The whole package is sleek and reminds me of a Star Trek interface.

The Sentry LXE will be in stores soon with an MSRP of $59.99

With the Fall approaching fast, Activision releases new information about DJ Hero 2 including the debut of Deadmau5 as an in-game character. For those new to DJ Hero 2 or the DJ hero franchise I’ve dropped some screens below, also check the DLC post to find more video with Lady Gaga and the Pussycat Dolls.

With Power Gig: Rise of the Six string arriving this Fall with a dedicated junior electric guitar, AirStrike drums and heavy talent like Eric Clapton, the team at Harmonix has to step up their game. Today iZotope announced that the Rock Band team has licensed their Pitch detection and Pitch shifting technology for the latest version of Rock Band.

The new software will let players really join the mix, when getting overly enthusiastic and singing well above the mic tolerance the game will voice code the and clean up the sound. While some may see the shift as cheap, it allows for a harmony when playing and makes allowance for anyone to sing in the game without feeling embarrassment.

I do hope that more details drop in so we know what RB3 is about this year.
