Bethesda’s Fallout New Vegas finally became available this past week and with it came the obligatory glitches and subsequent patches. The only thing is that one system was left out of the loop during all of this, can you PS3 fanboys guess which one it is? EA’s Medal of Honor is on track to being a top selling franchise once more and that means it could be receiving a sequel. In not-so-surprising news, Microsoft released a complete, detailed line-up of all the launch titles that will become available for Kinect, totaling 19 casual-oriented games to go alongside the release of their controller-less gaming device. These stories and more in this October 23rd, 2010 edition of the Game Blend Weekly Recap.
