Uh-oh! I hope our friends from Left4Friends didn't catch this. PAX sources are now reporting that they do have a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus (commonly but misleadingly known as Swine Flu) from their recently-concluded Washington event.

Over at the ongoing PAX 2009, Naughty Dog has released another three minutes of stunning gameplay footage of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The latest video shows Nathan Drake on a speeding train fighting his way out against an enemy helicopter. Check out the video after the break.

Moving along in our PAX 2009 coverage done in cooperation with the fine folks at Left4Friends, we're taking a look at Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC), Valve's much-contested follow up to last year's Left 4 Dead. Hit the jump for videos of zombified murder machines getting blasted to bits along with some tips on what you should do when a Jockey latches onto you (Protip: screaming like a girl isn't it).

This year's Penny Arcade Expo is in full swing, and our friends from Left4Friends are right in the thick of it, running the games gauntlet like marauders with a media pass. First up we have their first impressions on Halo 3: ODST's mutliplayer. Hit the full article for some first impressions along with off-screen videos of the action that takes place in the game's Firefight mode.

Tekken fans, listen up! Our favorite fighting game has joined up with Penny Arcade, and the hilarious webcomic is now working on more pages for their collaboration. If you're a fan of the official Tekken fan page on Facebook, you should've seen the post on your news feed. It's very real, in fact, the first page is already up.

If you're still stewing in your seat thinking about attending BlizzCon 2009, you're too late. Don't worry too much, though, you're not the only one. You know those 20,000 tickets for the event? Well, they were all sold out...in just eight minutes.

Everyone sure had a lot to say this week, from analysts to company execs, all the way to the President, and even the regular commenting folks. Action-packed is the most apt word to describe the past seven days, I believe. A lot of controversies have been courted too, and quite frankly, the gaming scene did happily oblige for some. Don't just take my word for it. See all that you missed below. You'd want to catch up on this one definitely.

The winners for the PAX 10 Independent Games have been announced by The Penny Arcade Expo organizers, and these 10 winners just might see their games picked up by publishers. The PAX 10 is known for supporting the indie development game scene by giving them publicity to generate that interest from the bigwigs. See who's strutting their wares on this year's showroom after the jump.

Namco Bandai has crammed in a lot of extra content for the console versions of Tekken 6, among them some extra costumes. We've already seen Penny Arcade's Cardboard Tube Samurai costume for Yoshimitsu, so now let's take a look at the one that Japanese manga group Clamp designed for Jin. Head on over to the full article for the screenshots including some for the PSP.

What do you do with the cardboard tubes when all the toilet paper's gone? You put 'em all together and slap Tekken lords with 'em! Rumors sparked earlier when the TekkenBob Twitter page upped a picture of the Penny Arcade fan favorite, Cardboard Tube Samurai, making an appearance in Tekken 6. Now, in yet another Twitter Page, we got confirmation from Penny Arcade artist Mike "Gabe" Krahulik that it's for real. More after the jump.
