• Pinch us: Alan Wake actually finished? That’s what developer Remedy says — the long-in-development action thriller is currently in the polishing stage and should be ready for its spring 2010 release. Well, guess it’s time to retire that “wake us when it’s done” joke. [Joystiq]
• Uncharted and SOCOM: Confrontation no longer a huge hit on your wallet. Both Uncharted and SOCOM: Confrontation have been added the PS3’s Greatest Hits line, so Sony is slashing their prices to 30 bucks.

• New Earthworm Jim being made from the ground up. Publisher Gameloft announced today that they’ll be releasing a brand new Earthworm Jim game for Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare, and the PlayStation Network. If we were an anthropomorphic earthworm named Jim, we’d totally say “groovy!” to this news. [Kotaku]
• EA taps Randy Couture for new MMA game. Legendary fighter Randy Couture will appear in EA’s new mixed martial arts game EA Sports MMA. UFC President Dana White is already planing several embarrassing ways to make Couture lose. [GameSpot]
