GoNintendo posted Thursday a Best Buy scan that shows both titles are back on store shelves and selling for the attractive price of $19.99.

Hotel Dusk is a graphic adventure game fueled by a mysterious and engaging plot. Clubhouse Games is a compilation of card and board games with full online play. Both games are published by Nintendo.

Hotel Dusk was released in North America in Jan. 2007 and was a bit of a sleeper hit. It has sold approximately 350,000 copies worldwide, according to VG Chartz. Clubhouse Games hit store shelves in Oct. 2006 and has sold more than 2.4 million copies worldwide.

After talking extensively about the ads and stengths of the browser-based FPS Quake Live with CVG, John Carmack (co-founder, id) started talking about the implications Quake Live’s success could have on one of id’s other successes, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territories. Carmack was willing to say that if the Quake Live performed well and people were responsive to it, then tossing the fabled Wolfenstein game into a browser format wouldn’t be a bad direction to go in.

If [Quake Live] is successful, we've tossed around the idea of taking the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory game (which was actually always more popular than Q3A in the online space) and doing a similar treatment on it with the experience we've gained here. But no effort will be spent on that until we know whether Quake Live was a brilliant idea or if it was a dumb move.

Despite my inability to get the twitches of Quake down enough to brave the browser version of the game, I am totally willing to embarrass myself in an Enemy Territory incarnation. This, of course, speaks of my inability to get anything Wolfenstein out of my head, but I also think that this is a nice extension of the new experience that Carmack wants to give to people who just want to play FPS games at work. Perhaps this means Commander Keen is next up if everything goes stupendously well.

If you have ever wondered what you would get if you crossed one of the most popular music video games with everybody’s favorite colorful interlocking plastic bricks, prepare for enlightenment. The answer comes in the form of a completely bad ass Guitar Hero-themed LEGO stop animation film. Thankfully it is to the tune of Impulse because if it had been to Raining Blood, I probably would have thrown something at my computer monitor. Just in case you couldn’t tell, I still haven’t passed that Slayer song from hell. Don’t worry, I haven’t been bitter about that for the last ten months or anything. I will say this, it really will be raining blood if I don’t pass that fucking song soon. Please excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. Oh yeah, and enjoy the video.

*A special thank you to penguinish for the tip. Don’t worry, I really don’t mind that you already requested Raining Blood for the next video. Jerk.

The Behemoth has been talking DLC for its highly popular XBLA game, Castle Crashers, explaining why there is no chainsaw in the game as expected, and promising that at least two new characters will become playable in the future:

Moving forward we can tell you that yes there will be a playable King and Necromancer. Yes, there is a chainsaw weapon, and no, they are not currently in the game.

As soon as we get more information from our friends over at Microsoft we’ll share that with you.

According to The Behemoth, this content was expected to be in the game thanks to various developers and media outlets being able to view Castle Crashers on Microsoft's internal network when it was being tested. Not knowing that what they were viewing was proposed DLC, they expected it to be in the game. Our own Reverend Anthony was quite upset at not being able to play as The King, while I was really hoping for some Necromancer action, so it looks like we'll both be getting what we want, with a chainsaw bonus to boot. 

While the idea of playing as The Necromancer makes me happy, I do dislike the idea that this stuff existed long before launch and was being held back just to hawk it to us at a later date. That's one of the few things I despise about DLC lately. I don't know if I'd pay extra cash just for some new characters and a weapon, either. However, if The Behemoth wants to talk about extra campaigns and levels, then I am all ears.
