Like Lost In Shadow’s Facebook Page, Donate A Dime To Child’s Play

Go to the Lost in Shadow Facebook page (make sure you're signed in). Click the "Like" button. Congratulations! You just got Hudson to donate 10 cents to Child's Play. If you're feeling really generous, change your Facebook profile pic to a shadow, any shadow at all and Hudson will up it to a dollar. Be quick about it, though; the campaign ends on September 7th. Lost in Shadows comes out on the Wii January 4th, 2011.

For those not familiar, Child's Play is a charity founded by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik (Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade). Since its founding in 2003, it's raised several million dollars in money and toys for childrens' hospitals across the world. In 2009, the charity raised over $1,750,000 in total contributions. While Child's Play currently accepts donations in the form of money or Amazon wish list toys toward childrens' hospitals year-round, the charity really picks up near the holiday seasons, when several gaming web sites and fan groups start charity drives.

Even the 8-bit version of the Expendables will kick your ass!

If you're one of the many guys that got excited when you saw the preview for the Expendables, then you want to check out the 8-Bit game on Facebook.It's extremely difficult despite the simple controls, like "walk" and "aim knives." If you're a fan of Contra then you'll probably like this game, since it's very similar in concept. Power-ups (if you can get them) make your weapon more powerful if they're red and make you invincible for a short time if they are blue. Triple knives!

This is one Cheap Thrill you won't want to miss. The Expendables comes out August 13th and with all the major action stars in it, expect to see plenty of ass-kicking.
