On March 9 (just 2 days away), retailers will have a new Xbox 360 Elite Bundle available.  Packaged with the sleek black 360 is a copy of Forza Motorsport 3 (X360D Rating: 10/10) and Halo 3:ODST (X360D Rating: 9/10).  A 120 GB HDD ($130 value) is also included, making this is a great deal for those of you out there looking to finally get a 360.  Priced at $299.99, this is certainly better than any other bundle that has been released in the past.

Eric Rudder of Microsoft gave the opening keynote at Tech Ed Middle East in Dubai and demoed an Indian Jones game on both his Windows Phone 7 Series device and an Xbox 360. Surprisingly the game was developed in Visual Studio as a single project but runs on a PC with a keyboard, a Windows Phone 7 Series with an accelerometer/touch screen and an Xbox 360 with a controller. As an added bonus, when you finish playing on 1 outlet, the game saves online and lets you finish the level on another platform like your Xbox. Does this mean achievements will be available on your phone too? Only time will tell. Check out the video below for the complete demo.

Portal 2 is set to release this holiday season as a full retail game which means it will be retailing for $60. In order to fit the $60 price tag, a two player co-op was announced alongside the campaign which is set to include new characters and, “brand new areas of Aperture Science Labs.” Notably, by looking into the orange portal on the cover, a glimpse into the outside world is seen.

According to IGN, Atomic Games has confirmed the highly-controversial Six Days in Fallujah is complete and soon-to-be-published. Of course they have not released the name of the purported publisher, nor a release date, so we’re still filing this story under “rumors” for now.

Six Days was under Konami’s purveyance until last fall when the controversy over the Iraq War simulator proved too much for the publisher. Since then, Atomic has has been seeking a new publisher. Outside the Iraq War controversy, Six Days is also notable for having built it’s own game engine, rather than use the popular Unreal 3 or CoD4 underpinning.
