Activision has announced that the demo for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 has hit the Xbox Live marketplace for Gold members.  The demo allows players to check out the Washington D.C. mission in the game and also allows local co-op play.

Also available on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is the $10 DLC content pack which contains five new playable characters including Carnage, Cable, Psylocke, Black Panther and unveiled today - Magneto.  The DLC also includes four new challenge missions and boss encounters.  You may also optionally purchase the previously exclusive pre-order character Juggernaut for $1.99.

Codemasters has made good on their promise, and officially announced the first content pack for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.   The pack is called the Skirmish pack and features two new cooperative missions for four players as well as four new maps for competitive play.  There's also a new sandbox mode called Island Tour which can be played cooperatively.

 The new co-op maps are called All Round Defence, which looks to be a survival mode type map with support and attack helicopters as players defend a fortified complex against waves of PLA; and Uphill Struggle has players trying to capture a bunker under heavy fire from hillside reinforcements.

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.

You'd be daffy not to take advantage of this
 

Today is the day that Fairytale Fights hits store shelves in all it's brutal glory, and the team would like you to enjoy a bit of DLC for free for a short time. This free DLC will include 4 new playable characters, and 3 additional PvP arenas on both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 versions of the game.

In order to get this otherwise $15 DLC for free, you have to register your copy of the game here - no cheating guys, this is actually a pretty cool incentive for those that purchase the game. After the 90 days, the DLC will still be available, so no one is completely left out.

We normally don't cover track pack releases for music games on here, mostly because they come too frequently and in too small of chunks.  We're going to make an exception though for The Beatles, because, well they ARE The Beatles and because it's not your ordinary track pack.

The Abbey Road track pack, named from their album of the same name, not only has the rest of the tracks missing from The Beatles Rock Band - but also includes the 16 minute B-Side medley of "You Never Give Me Your Money," "Sun King,"  "Mean Mr. Mustard," "Polythene Pam," "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window," "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight" and "The End."

In our review of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising this week, we made mention of some glitches and the lack of weapon customization, and also the scarcity of multiplayer maps (only two maps per each of two modes). Codemasters is working on all of these bullet points already, citing title updates and planned downloadable content. 

We’ve got some very ambitious plans with DLC – our first pack is coming up in a matter of weeks. We’ll also have title updates coming up because once the game’s out there, we’ll need to get feedback from the people who are playing it, and if need be make a few adjustments and tweaks.

This was from Sion Lenton, executive producer at Codemasters, during an interview with the Telegraph. According to him, weapons or maps -- or both -- are coming down the pipe in a matter of weeks.

Better grab a buddy if you want to defeat this guy!

If you've been wondering when the DLC for Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers is coming, wonder no more.  Next Wednesday, October 21, new cards, new decks, new puzzles, and new opponents are all coming your way.  Three new playable decks, including the AI-only "Relics of Doom" will be available.  Each of the original decks get new cards to unlock, and new single player and co-op levels are included.  Famous planeswalking dragon Nicol Bolas makes an appearance, too!  Sadly, only three new puzzle levels make it in the expansion; I really enjoyed these, and thought far more should have been included.  All the card-slinging fun can be had for a mere 400 MS points.  If only they'd add in online co-op!

I'm pretty sure Zombies are like some fashion trend that just won't go away, something akin to witty t-shirt.  The Borderlands discs aren't even cool yet from manufacturing, or in gamers hands for that matter, but the first DLC pack has been announced.

Titled The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, players will embark on a cooperative journey to kill those poor undead souls that we've been slaughtering mercilessly for the past few years in our video game outings.  The DLC will cost $9.99 on the PS3 and PC and 800  on the 360.  No date was given on the pack.

There's a video of it over at GiantBomb.  

Thanks everyone who sent in this tip!
