Long story short: Nico's just pwned Potter, Parker, and Master Chief in one fell swoop. We're letting the readers know that Grand Theft Auto 4 has just earned a place in the Guinness World Records, on account of its massive sales on the first day of its launch. Details regarding this matter are available in the full article.

After Master Chief and Cloud came to Unreal Tournament 3 (Sony PlayStation 3, PC), you'd think mods can't get any better. Yet, here's another that can put a grin on your face. We'd never even imagine Epic Games and Nintendo joining hands, but if you want to see Super Mario powered by Unreal Engine 3, look no further than the full article.

Bored with the same old avatars in Unreal Tournament 3? Well, to resolve this issue you can modify and customize the characters in the game, just like what Organ did. He was able to create a mod of gaming icon Master Chief as well as characters from Crysis and more. Check out the screenshots in the full article.

Video games and consoles aren't games. At least, Best Buy doesn't think so. A customer recently tried to use a "toy" coupon to purchase an Xbox 360 and two games for the console, but according to Best Buy employees (and their corporate office), the items aren't categorized under "toys." Is there any clear cut distinction between toys and video games? What about the handhelds? Check out the story in the full article.

Master Chief ordering take out at Burger King? Solid Snake wearing Speedos? These are just some hypothetical plugs that gamers might be seeing in the near future with the way in-game advertising has grown into a phenomenal industry nowadays.

As far back as the early '90s, we've seen games that have plugged, advertised or even coerced gamers into taking a gander at their real-life sponsors, as well as the products tied-in with them. The full article awaits after the jump!

In wars, it's the heroes that really count. It's not always about spears, shields, and catapults, most armies had to rely on their Achilles', Beowulfs, Leonidas' and Harry Potters. That's why PlayStation 3 has Solid Snake, Xbox 360 has Master Chief, and Wii has Mario. What happens then when Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo decide to swap heroes and place them in one of their consoles' biggest games?

An animator going by the name Monty Oum, known by some for the amazing Haloid movie that had a female Master Chief going intimate with Samus Aran, recently unleashed his latest project titled Dead Fantasy I. Yep, it's another crossover, and we liked it so much we thought you guys should check it out, too.

In this short animated movie, Final Fantasy girls go at it against Dead or Alive babes. Yuna and Rikku in their FF X-2 outfits face Kasumi, Ayane, and Hitomi in an action-packed exchange of deadly blows oozing with fanservice. Tifa in her FF VII: Advent Children clothes also makes an appearance, and marks the promise of a Dead Fantasy part two.

Aside from revealing the characters involved, we don't want to go into more spoilers. We'll leave you with the video embedded below.

(Editor's Note: It's a fresh issue of QuickPeek for a fresh new month. We've finally hit the big "One-Five" edition for our weekly updates, and if some of you've noticed, QuickPeek posts seem to get longer and bulkier with the updates! As always, we'd like to give everyone a resounding "Thanks!" for all the fun and the never ending support. This weekly update of updates is all for you!)

The 15th issue of QuickJump QuickPeek sees the start of a new month. We've got a couple of weeks ahead of us before Halloween finally hits, and even as early as now, there's been some hair-raising news that could leave some of you pale and ghastly (not to mention some toothache from all the sweet stuff going on around the gaming industry as well).

The previous edition of QuickPeek had its own fair share of enormous news - including, of course, the release of Halo 3. Today, we've got some weekly updates that have been specially carved right out of last week's pumpkin. It's big news on top of big news, with some bewitching brew being concocted from the cauldron of the homebrew community on the side.

This has got to be our biggest, meatiest, and most jam-packed issue yet, so you better tighten your bootstraps. You're in for one heck of a ride.

(Editor's Note: After the TGS, you'd think that things would go back to their "normal" pace in the gaming industry, but see, the gaming industry isn't all that "normal" to begin with. Harhar. As the Chesire Cat once told Alice: "We're all mad here." Now, if you might remember, our 13th Issue of QuickJump QuickPeek rolled out early, which means this edition might cover some news from last week which weren't included in the previous issue. Yes, it's not "normal" procedure as QuickPeek posts go. And we're saying that with a disembodied Chesire grin.)

A few days ago, we ended the previous TGS Special Edition of QuickJump QuickPeek with a series of open questions. Well, if Master Yoda had anything to say about it, it'd go somewhere along the lines of "Rumors lead to questions. Questions lead to TGS. TGS leads to answers. And answers... lead to more questions... and the eventual Hamill-tendency to scream out 'Nooooo!'"

This week though, it's anything but a miserable negative outburst. We're getting some answers all right. With us having the tendency of screaming out '"Yeeeees!" instead. How so? Let's see, shall we? M33's identity (i.e. Dark AleX, Mathiuelh, et. al.) revealed, Halo 3 week, Folding@Home's ongoing success, building anticipation for the Wii Zapper... Let's not get ahead of ourselves here though! Get busy with your mouse and start scrolling down!
