Coming this October, fans of Dungeon Siege III will have a bit more game to play around in. A DLC pack, with the loot-tastic title Treasures of the Sun, is coming for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Like all good expansions, the DLC will add "several hours" of gameplay in addition to several other nice perks, all for $9.99.
As Crimson Alliance's release next week nears, the last character class video is now available for your viewing enjoyment. The final heroine is an assassin, with all sorts of crazy moves, sneaky attacks, and poisoned blades, as you'd expect. The game looks gorgeous, as you can see. You might recall our hands on preview, in which Crimson Alliance was very impressive. Starting September 7, you can team up with three more friends, either local, online, or a mix. We are all but drooling in anticipation!
We go hands on with Renegade Ops from PAX and bring back some impressions of the gameplay. Afterwards we talk with the game's director, Axel Lindberg to talk about co-op design and gameplay as well as some of Renegade Ops' inspirations...like Cannon Fodder!
The latest batch of screenshots from House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Edition on the PlayStation 3 showcase the second of the two bonus episodes found in the game. Called "Creeping Flesh" these screens focus on a slaughterhouse environment that is over run by not only zombies, but some sort of creepy infection.
It's been awhile since we've reported on the upcoming Double Fine Kinect game, Once Upon A Monster. With its October release fast approaching, the studio has released a trailer for the game, co-starring Tim Schafer and Cookie Monster. While the trailer is short on information about the actual game (and never actually answers the question of whether an Xbox 360 can play a chocolate chip cookie), it serves as a reminder that Double Fine will certainly be applying their classic humor to this young kids game.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Those words spoken during a funeral ceremony are a somber goodbye. While the first Gears of War 3 trailer from a year and a half ago was called "Ashes to Ashes" - the final one today is called "Dust to Dust." Perhaps it's a foreboding omen of what's to come for the Gears.
September 1st. Yup, September 1st. Welcome to the the last quarter of 2011 folks. Are you ready to play some games? Because they are coming. August has come and gone though, but it wasn't without some highs. We had some great releases like Age of Empires Online, Fruit Ninja Kinect and Toy Soldiers: Cold War. Borderlands 2 details were officially revealed and the subsequently hyped at Gamescom and PAX. Not bad for a "slow" month.
We've got the official launch trailer today for Dead Island. It is a game that was introduced with a trailer that evoked emotion and much chatter from the internet. Now it seems things have gone full circle, with the final trailer for the game attempting to showcase the same emotional response of hopelessness thanks to a rich piano track mixed with characters, intense visuals and dialogue cut from the game.
Ugly Americans is a cartoon series on Comedy Central about quirky, undead, and other unique individuals that become integrated into life in the Big Apple. The show's characters are now part of a new game called Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon. With characters like a wizard, a zombie, and a police officer - it seems ripe for some ridiculous looking action. The game features all of the voice actors from the show, while the story is penned by the writers and the show's creator Devin Clark.
While last week was PAX Prime, Seattle was host to another event in its city - the Battlefield 3 Community Event. EA flew out various members of the gaming community to get some exclusive hands on time with the game in both co-op on the PlayStation 3 and multiplayer on the PC.
Overstrike was revealed at E3 as Insomniac's first multiplatform game, one being published by EA. We haven't heard much on the title since then, but CVG was lucky enough to catch up with the game's creative director at Gamescom earlier this month to dig up some dirt. What did they find? A quote that should make co-op gamers pretty excited for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title.
