gaming news from all over

Interested in the hot topics going on in the video gaming industry right now? Check out these news stories:

GameStop faces competition from Wal-Mart in used game trade. Apparently there are vending machines you can stick your used games into and get compensated in credit ranging from 50 cents to up to $25 for more in-demand games.

Video game sales dropped 17% over April 2008
. I have a feeling numbers are going to spike over the next few months due to the many hot titles being released this year. April was kind of slow for new releases.

The sad story of Ottumwa, Iowa, once declared 'the video game capital of the world'. I would totally visit a video game themed amusement park.
