For all you Saints Row fans, it looks like THQ will have a Nyteblayde mini game in Saints Row: The Third, set to release on November 15, 2011.
I found two new domain names registered this week by THQ that point to the possible game – nyteblayde.com and nyteblade.com.

Activision hints at ‘Call of Duty Elite’ prizes and awards with newest domain registrations
In the past few days, details have been surfacing about Activision’s Call of Duty Elite subscription service that is scheduled to go live in November 2011. The service will begin its closed beta test later this summer and promises to be innovative by letting you to connect, compete and improve your Call of Duty experience.
Though there have been grumblings over a paid subscription service, it looks like Activision has plans to offer incentives in the form of awards and prizes — based on the company’s newest domain registrations this week.

U.S. Marine Corps developing online video game called “Marine Ops: The Crucible”?
YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: It looks like the U.S. Marine Corps, a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy, is throwing their hat into the video gaming ring. In late May, the Marine Corps applied for six different trademarks on “Marine Ops” and “Marine Ops: The Crucible”.
While other branches of the military like the Army have long been at the forefront of game development with its popular title America’s Army, it looks like the marines will be putting up a challenge to the soldiers.
The trademarks were all filed on May 25, 2011 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (uspto.gov).
