When Games for Windows Live’s Games on Demand service launched in December we said it was “marching onto the [PC digital distribution] field about an hour after the match ended.” Three hours later (in metaphoric time), the service announced today it will offer day-and-date game releases from publishers 2K Games, Capcom, Microsoft Game Studios (what a coup!), Rockstar Games, THQ and Ubisoft. We can’t help but imagine Steam, Impulse and all the other digital distribution players at their post-game parties laughing.
The initial day-and-date offering by the service is Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. At the same time, the Prince of Persia games The Sands of Time and Warrior Within are each $2.50 — which seem like much better deals than the aforementioned title. The service has also added several more games, which we’ve listed after the break.

It appears as though yesterday’s mystery teaser for the upcoming Spike TV Video Game Awards, featuring a CGI scene of a war in Dubai, is actually not the newest teaser in the world. Revealed back in August, the clip is said to be from upcoming 2K Games franchise reboot Spec Ops.
Originally, the title was claimed by EGM rumor mill “Quartermann” to be in development in the shuttered magazine’s July 2008 issue. 1UP claims the title to be confirmed by the 90-second teaser trailer that we’ve dropped after the break. We’d suggest checking it out simply for the fact that it contains more footage than the teaser from yesterday, but the fact that Björk is involved makes us all the more inclined to recommend a viewing. For those of you thirsting for more, your next chance to see the game will be at 2009’s world exclusive-filled VGAs. We’ve contacted 2K Games for comment and will update this post if we hear more.

Not to be overshadowed by
BioWare’s latest effort to depict
Mass Effect 2 in one epic cover, 2K Games has released the box art for
BioShock 2 — and it doesn’t win any points for originality
or cleanliness. Just like the first game’s cover, it features Big Daddy (this time he’s
you!) and Little Sister (not you). Only now, everything’s behind cracked, grimy glass and the logo’s covered in barnacles.
Eww.
You can lay your eyes on high-res versions of the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC covers for the sequel in the gallery below. You might want to put on some rubber gloves and grab a can of Scrubbing Bubbles before you click on ‘em, though.
[Thanks, Geoff]

A very Happy Halloween to all GamingAngels readers! Hopefully you’ll get more treats than tricks! 2K Games sent us the awesome Halloween card above that contained the following warning:
“Dear Sir/Madame,
In honor of Hallowe’en, I set forth to bake a most wonderous Chronoberry Pie. To my dismay, the delectable pie has disappeared. If you see this fabulous tart, please be DO NOT EAT IT, as even the smallest bite could cause untold chaos. Above all else, the dastardly pie thief, Mr. P.B. Winterbotom, must not get his fingers on this monstrous treat as the combination could rip the fabric of time itself.
- The Pie Baker of Bakersburg”
So watch out for certain types of pies…in the meantime we’ll be watching out for more information about The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom.

We felt so bad for Borderlands‘ stealthy female protagonist, Lilith. While other characters’ abilities were in perfect working order, her top-tier “Phase Strike” power was, well, broken. Enemies who experienced the attack began to make fun of Lilith, referring to the maligned ability as “Phase Wrist-Slap” or “Phase Hug,” for which her cohorts constantly teased her.
Fret no more, dearest Lilith! Gearbox released a patch earlier today for the PS3 and 360 versions of Borderlands which, in addition to improving load times and fixing a number of small technical snafus (the full list of which are after the jump), also fixes your Phase Strike ability. Just make sure you savor the experience when you first use the renovated power — the surprise on your combatant’s face is going to be delectable.
