If you are a fan of the site, then you probably read our original ‘7 Greatest Video Game Urban Legends’ post, which quickly became our most popular article ever. We thought it was about time to bring back the post with updates and new information.

We all have heard of them, swore to have done them or know someone whose cousin has. That’s right, I’m talking about Video Game Urban Legends (VGUL). No, we’re not going to talk about the munchkin in the back of “Wizard of Oz” who supposedly hangs himself from the tree. We’re not talking about how there is a ghost in the window in “3 Men and a Baby” who died in that house. Not Bigfoot or Loch Ness. We’re talking Video Games…. We’re talking Urban Legends in Video Games.

We searched high and low to bring to you, our latest redux installment of these Urban Legends, and hope you enjoy what we have come up with.

A recent post by the gents over at Kotaku throws out a rumor that the zombies who once haunted Dead Rising’s Colorado mall, where Frank West mowed them down and dressed up as Mega Man, might have migrated to Las Vegas for the sequel.

As anyone who has ventured to Sin City will know: that place is crowded! It should feel good to take down zombies with broken slot machine levers, put their faces inside roulette spinners, and slam them through the Wheel of Fortune for an immediate jackpot.

All this has yet to be confirmed, of course, and Las Vegas hasn’t been too privy on allowing their city to be recreated piece by piece, but a faux-Sin City would do, no?

Affirmed did it in 1978, and we’ll have to wait another year for a new Triple Crown winner. ‘Big Brown’ loses! Coming out of the rail at post number 1, Big Brown comes in last lightly galloping. ‘Big Brown’ moves to a career record of 5-1, 6 starts with 5 wins. It is uncertain if ‘Big Brown’ was injured during the race, but replays show no evidence of that.

Da’Tara took the early lead and did not look back. A horse trained by Nick Zito, Da’Tara looked strong the entire race. The win bet paid out an astonishing $79.00.

Could the injured hoof be the reason why ‘Big Brown’ did not win?

On a side note, be careful looking for ‘Big Brown’ through google images. I dropped my laptop at the results, here’s an example.

Belmont Stakes Results:

6 Da’Tara $79.00 $28.00 $14.00

4 Denis of Cork $5.40 $4.10

8 Anak Nakal/ Ready’s Echo $7.60 (Dead Heat)

In a recent interview with Microsoft product management director Aaron Greenberg, Gamasutra caught up with the spokesperson just in time to do some post-NPD talking.

Unsurprisingly, Greenberg goes on about attach rates, getting to the 10 millions system served mark, and console “with the most games, and the biggest online community.” Simply turning the cogs of that spin machine, but in what’s surely to set aflame the fanboy community, Greenberg said the following about GTA IV DLC turning up on PS3:

“It’s not possible as far as I’m aware, but that would be a good question to ask Rockstar. Rockstar and Xbox have only said there are exclusive episodes coming this fall to Xbox 360. I might put that up for a bit of wishful thinking on their end.”

Hmm…just “exclusive episodes,” huh? We might just see something along the lines of DLC for GTA IV on PS3, after all.
