Could Valve already be planning DLC for Left 4 Dead 2? The game isn't even on store shelves yet, but it appears there's at least two content packs in the works thanks to some PC users who decided to dig deep into the recently released demo's content.
Upcoming top-down Alien co-op title Alien Breed Evolution has been confirmed to be released episodically in three installments, instead of being the first of a separate trilogy as previously believed. It's said that each of these three episodes will take players 5-8 hours to complete, and will be available for download "December-ish." If you're unsure about paying for 3 separate installments of the game, don't fret - the prologue will be available for download and preview for free.
If you have children, and are a gamer, you have probably run into some awkward situations. There are some games that are perfectly acceptable for adults, and yet wildly inappropriate for children. Some parents may disagree, and buy Grand Theft Auto for their first grader, but for most of us, there's a line between what's a "me" game, and what's a "kid" game. This line varies from gamer family to gamer family, of course, and by child, as well. For my youngest, who is eight, we have a higher tolerance of sci-fi violence (such as that in Halo's campaigns) than we do human on human violence (Call of Duty comes to mind). Excessive realistic gore is a no-no (Left 4 Dead), but heavily stylized cartoon blood (Castle Crashers) is acceptable. For our older son, fifteen, all the above games are probably OK, but I'd draw the line at games with strong sexual content or excessive language. The point is, there are going to be some games on the shelf that your kids are not allowed to play.
Borderlands is still on the brain. Freshly patched too!
Not to be outdone by Gears of War 2, the boys at Naughty Dog are having their own double weekend in Uncharted 2 - but instead of double the experience they are giving out CASH! Money! MOOOLAH! Ok, so it's only in game money, but it sounds better than XP, no?
Earlier this week we gave you a status update to some of the bugs in Borderlands. Today we bring you good news as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game have received patches to tidy things up a bit.
Dawn of War 2's first expansion pack called Chaos Rising is set to hit the game in March of next year. IGN was lucky enough to get their hands on it already, and so far it sounds like there's quite a few game changers here.
If only these guys decided to play the cooperative Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2, instead of trash talking each other, perhaps there wouldn't have been a "snow mobile accident." Wal-Mart is running a set of ads that feature the duo and the game, and for the most part, they are pretty entertaining.
We finally know the details about the first DLC pack for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Most of us will be able to purchase the pack on November 5, though European PS3 users have to wait until November 12. The DLC will set you back $10, or the MS Point equivalent. So what do you get for the money?
The first expansion for Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers has been out for just over a week now. Titled Duel the Dragon, the expansion adds some much needed variety to the original game, including another two-headed giant style co-op campaign. We've spent quite a bit of time with the expansion, and have our impressions to help you decide if it's a worthwhile purchase this crowded gaming season.
