Mass Effect 2 DLC Info Leaked
by Dylan Duarte on November 2, 2009
Apparently Microsoft hands out “Microsoft Expert Zone” quizzes to retailers so that they can be better informed on the products that they’re selling. A recent quiz contained details on Mass Effect 2 DLC content, and as luck would have it, those details made their way to the internet. Read more…

Three Flight of the Conchords songs coming to Rock Band
by Sam Naylor on September 22, 2009
The above video shows the guys from the brilliant Flight of the Conchords promising that three of their songs will be coming to Rock Band in the future. Even though I’ve just told you all the game-related news about the video, still watch it. They’re funny guys.
I hope that they don’t ignore their old album. Tenacious D didn’t release Tribute, their finest song, until last week, despite having one of their new songs in Rock Band 2 as default. Business Time and Humans are Dead are great songs and should be in Rock Band, damnit.
Bethesda announce Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
by Sam Naylor on September 17, 2009
Similar to their earlier Game of the Year edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda have announced that a version of Fallout 3 that includes all of the DLC released so far in the price of admission. Undoubtedly this will be the definitive version, just as it was with the Oblivion GotY version.
The game will release on October 13 and will cost $60 for the console versions and $50 for the PC version. Bethesda have also announced that the DLC for PS3 is coming very soon. Broken Steel is coming on the 24th of September, followed by Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt on 1st October, and then Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta on the 8th. Good news all round, then.
Only two Modern Warfare 2 Map Packs planned? Say it ain’t so!
by Rangebar Merani on August 7, 2009
Even though it’s been known that two downloadable map packs for Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be hitting the Xbox 360 first, it now seems that those same two map packs could be the only DLC we seen coming out for the upcoming sequel.
Discussing Modern Warfare 2’s “online content,” Activision’s Publishing CEO Mike Griffith was noted saying, “We plan to launch two separate map packs for this title.” He then went on to say that over 8 million Call of Duty map pack DLC have been sold on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Infinity Ward only released one map pack for the first Modern Warfare, while Treyarch has released three map packs for Call of Duty: World at War, the third just being released yesterday. With so much popularity for downloadable content and new map packs, I think it would be stupid for Infinity Ward not to take advantage of the opportunity to please their fans and of course make more money for themselves.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hits the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 10. Damn, I can’t wait!

World at War Map Pack 3 DLC dated
by Rangebar Merani on August 4, 2009
The third Call of Duty: World at War map pack has officially been dated and is set to be released this Thursday, August 6. Three new multiplayer maps and a new Nazi Zombie map are set to hit Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on Thursday, running you 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on the PSN. With over 4 million copies sold combined between the first two map packs, there’s no doubt that Map Pack 3 will be just as successful. And there’s bound to be another double XP weekend with the release of the new DLC, so it looks like another weekend packed full of World at War goodness. Yay!

GTA4’s ‘Ballard of Gay Tony’ DLC coming October 29
by Sam Naylor on July 23, 2009
Kotaku reports that the next DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV, ‘The Ballard of Gay Tony”, will be releasing on October 29 this year. The DLC will be available for download, or it will come in a retail box entitled ‘Episodes from Liberty City’ which contains both sets of DLC. The download will set you back 1600 MS funbux, and the retail disc will cost you $39.99.
Before I go, here’s a silly blurb made up by the PR man: “players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.”
World at War map packs sell over 4 million
by Rangebar Merani on July 21, 2009
With the third map pack just announced yesterday, Treyarch and Activision have let the numbers out on how the two previous World at War DLC map packs have sold.
According to Activision, the map packs have sold over 4 million copies over Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. Wow, that’s a whole lot of cash money just on DLC maps. We can only guess that Map Pack 3 will boost these numbers and most likely sell a few million more copies.
Infinity Ward needs to learn from what Treyarch has done with World at War and make sure they offer plenty of DLC with Modern Warfare 2 because it’s sure to sell just as much, if not more.

More Call of Duty: World at War DLC coming soon
by Rangebar Merani on July 20, 2009
Yessir! Even with Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 coming out in a matter of months, looks like Treyarch isn’t giving up on World at War anytime soon. It seems like Map Pack 2 just came out yesterday and we’re already hearing that Map Pack 3 is in the works and is set to be released sometime in August (I’m sure with another double XP weekend!)
Map Pack 3 will feature three new multiplayer maps, “Battery”, “Revolution” and “Breach”. There will also be a new Nazi Zombies map called “Der Reise” which translates as The Journey, or The Voyage.
I’m pumped that Treyarch is still working hard at World at War DLC as it gives Call of Duty fans something new and fresh to play until November and the release of MW2.

Killzone 2 Napalm & Cordite DLC includes new maps, new weapons
by Rangebar Merani on July 17, 2009
So, last week I had a post up about the new Killzone 2 update and DLC and in that post I told you all that the DLC and update would be available on July 14, this past Tuesday. Well, it seems like I was only half right. The 1.28 Patch was up and ready, but the Napalm & Cordite DLC was no where to be seen on the PlayStation Network.
Okay, my bad, but I just discovered today this new trailer for the Napalm & Cordite DLC, showing off the two new maps (Suljeva Cliffside and Arctower Landing) along with two new weapons (the VC1 Flamethrower and the Boltgun 4400), which were previously only available in the single-player campaign. Look for the new DLC on the PlayStation Network on Thursday, July 23. I repeat Thursday, July 23. See ya’ll online!

LittleBigGhostbusters: Ghostbusters Costumes Coming to LBP This Week
by Demi Adejuyigbe on July 13, 2009
There have been rumors abound about some sort of Ghostbusters content in LittleBigPlanet ever since the jerks over at the Playstation.blog started tugging at our heart strings and teasing potential Ghostbusters content in the game. While I don’t actually own LittleBigPlanet (or for that matter, a Playstation 3) I’ve been waiting to see what Media Molecule and Sony have been holding back in the game. Today, the Playstation.blog finally revealed what we knew the entire time- that Ghostbusters costumes were indeed coming to LittleBigPlanet.
Some of you will be disappointed to learn that there aren’t any special levels or packs with this DLC, other than the costumes themselves. You can grab each costume individually for $1.99 off of the Playstation Network, or if bundlin’ makes you feel good, you can go for the full 4-pack of costumes for $5.99, and save yourself a Jefferson.

Fight Night Round 4 getting new DLC and face button control scheme
by Rangebar Merani on July 8, 2009
For those of you who have played Fight Night Round 4, you probably noticed (and were surprised) that there wasn’t an option to change the control scheme and use the face buttons to play like in previous Fight Night games. Well EA is about to fix that with an update coming later this summer to add the face button control scheme for those who have been complaining about it, and don’t worry, it’s free. I just wonder why EA Sports didn’t just include the option in the first place. Weird.
Along with this update, a new DLC will be arriving before hand containing a new training gym, new gameplay sliders and new equipment to use on your boxer. The 360 version will also be receiving an alternate, Pizza-Hut sponsored version of Sugar Ray Leonard. And all of this DLC will be free too. Sweet, huh?

Gary Busey Talks About the Women of Saint’s Row, Is Still Completely Insane
by Demi Adejuyigbe on April 25, 2009
It’s no secret that Gary Busey is 100% bona fide insane. He has snorted cocaine off of dogs, voiced Phil Cassady in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and is your worst nightmare, butthorn. Last year, he starred in a series of videos for Saints Row 2, where he talked about throwing people, taunting people, and blowing people up. Oh, Busey.
Well now, Busey’s back, to talk about the women of Saints Row with only the charm and sagacity that only Uncle Gary has. THQ also threw in some footage of the DLC in there, complete with all the female ass-kicking you’re fit to handle. Busey’s facial expressions throughout the video make it all worthwhile. Busey, you crazy!
The Saint’s Row 2 Ultor Exposed DLC is now available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for $9.99 or 800 MS Points respectively.
