Bethesda has a great habit of making top selling games.  This October, they have topped the NPD charts for the best selling console game and best selling PC title. NPD reports that  robust sales of Fallout: New Vegas made it the highest grossing title in October, measured by dollars, across all platforms. “We recognize that there are many high-quality games that come out during this time of year,” said Vlatko Andonov. “We couldn’t be more pleased at how well the game has been received and we want to thank our fans for their overwhelming support of the game.” With

EA is launching a PC beta for the latest Medal of Honor this Fall. There was one on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and now the PC is getting their turn.

The PC beta is coming with two modes, Sector Control and Combat Mission. Sector Control is a territory grabbing game type. Combat Mission is an objective based mode that has you and your team move from point to point. The beta will still come with three classes (Rifleman, Special Ops, and

Dell has been teasing its uber-thin Adamo XPS for awhile now, but next Thursday Dell will fully reveal the slimmest laptop ever. The 0.39-inch Adamo XPS has a price tag of $2,000, and while we still don’t have all of the details, according to a Business Week article it features a “heat-sensing strip on the lip that, when swiped with a finger, glows white and automatically opens the aluminum lid.” Sounds sexy. The ambitious machine is part of an overall effort to get people talking about Dell once again and so far it seems to be working. We will know more

And without wires. It’s available in a few different versions. One is made for your home/office, while the other is geared toward those on-the-go, being foldable for easy transportation. You will also need to pick up some receiver cases for the Powermat to recognize the type of device being charged. These are cases with onboard RFID tags that allow the Powermat to determine how

Mark October 20th on your calendars if you are waiting for the Palm Pixi device as that is apparently the release date specified by Sprint as well as Best Buy. Still, the Palm Pixi isn’t as powerful as the Pre, and has a lot of work to do if it were to expand Palm’s market share when it comes to smartphones with the presence of other goliaths in the scene including BlackBerrys and iPhones. Perhaps if Palm positioned the Pixi to be the next generation Centro, things might just fall into place for the company.
