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 subtitle for the original Lost Planet was "Extreme Condition".  For the sequel, perhaps "Extreme Customization" might be more appropriate.  Some really interesting details about Lost Planet 2's character customization have been revealed at the Capcom-Unity Blog.  All sorts of different options are available for your soldier, including weapons, abilties, and, coolest of all, nicknames.

You can choose a preference to which weapons you'll find in game.  Like the shotgun?  Set the flag, and when you find a short range weapon on the ground, it'll be a shotgun.  Maybe your co-op buddy likes flamethrowers; when he picks up a short range weapon, it'll be a flamethrower.  That's an excellent idea, and one I wish was available in more games.

LittleBIGPlanet is a natural choice for Co-Op Casual Friday.You'd be hard pressed to find a game more fun, enjoyable, and still appropriate for everyone, from the very young child who's never held a controller before to a seasoned gamer who has played it all.

We've just recieved word of the latest songs revealed for tween friendly music game Band Hero.  The big focus of Band Hero seems to be young Taylor Swift, featuring her in three different songs as well as an in-game avatar.  If you were looking to "rock out" to You Belong With Me, Picture to Burn, and Love Story, you'll get the chance on November 3.

Considering there are several decent tunes in the Band Hero song list, we wondered if we'd be able to import them into Guitar Hero 5.  We asked Activision about it several days ago, and thus far, we've not received a response.  Sometimes, no news is good news, but in this case, we're guessing you won't be able to export these songs to Guitar Hero 5.  Too bad, because, hey, MR. ROBOTO IS AWESOME.

Another trailer for LEGO Indiana Jones 2 The Adventure Continues has been released.  If you were like me, and guessing that the sequel would be based solely on the most recent Indy film, well, you'd be wrong.  All new levels based on unused scenes from the original Indy trilogy will be included.  Of course, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels are appearing in LEGO form for the first time.  The trailer gives us good looks at new heroes and vehicles, plus the level editor.  Gotta love the tagline: "Where there's a whip, there's a way."  (Insert wildly inappropriate joke here.)

It seems Borderlands is including a co-op survival mode of sorts.  These game modes (like Gears 2's Horde and Halo 3 ODST's Firefight) allow players to team up against waves of enemies, to see how long they can last.  This snippet from IGN's Borderlands preview seems to indicate there'll be something similar in Borderlands.

We've got a nifty little update for you regarding LittleBIGPlanet, recently released in a Game of the Year edition.  First of all, Sony is giving away free codes that allow you to download the Norse Mythology pack for the game.  Should be fun to recreate "What's Opera, Doc?" in LittleBIGPlanet form.  (What, I'm the only one who had that idea?)

If you'd rather pay for your Sackcontent, well, look no further than this Thursday.  A Watchmen costume pack is coming to the PSN.  No price is available yet, but we're hoping these little Watchmen goodies aren't as overpriced as other recent downloadable efforts.  I predict about 4 hours before someone creates a Watchmen LBP level that's better than The End Is Nigh.

Here's an interesting bit of news for co-op fans.  Killzone 2 is the premiere FPS for the PS3.  It's gorgeous visually, but has one glaring weakness: no co-op whatsoever.  As we've covered before, the game really suffers as a result.  Even without our favorite feature, Killzone 2 has sold well by almost any measure, with 1.9 million copies moved since the game's release in late February.
