The next DLC for BioWare’s Mass Effect 2, has been revealed; titled ‘Overlord’, which will be coming out some time in June. The content will feature five levels set across one story on one planet as players seek to destroy some sort of threatening enemy AI.

This new content will not be introducing a new crew members, in fact no more crew members will be added to this installment of the Mass Effect saga via DLC. Look like you’ll have to stap yourself in with the bunch you’ve got now in pursuit for ME3.

As for ‘Overlord’, the DLC will apparently be less linear than prior downloadable content as players will have the ability to utilize the Hammerhead vehicle to explore the planet on which the content takes place.

Will keep you posted on this at its release, as per the last few DLC’s the free play extras have come to an end and i reckon the same is said here. Estimating this will top the price range for ME DLC’s, but only time will tell.

The Halo: Reach Beta has added a new mode for you to play!

Invasion is a multi-segment objective based mode that pits the Spartans against the Elite. The mode is divided into three distinct segments in which the Spartan’s are the defenders and the Elite are on the offense. Each segment has its own objectives and, as the action progresses from section to section, new (and presumably more powerful) weapons will become available.

Along with the addition of this new mode, you will also get to check out a new map called Boneyard. It’s like free DLC for the Beta!! The new additions are available immediately, so better get onto your Xbox and crank this shit out!

The Halo: Reach Beta is scheduled to run until May 19th.

BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 has announced the new ‘Equalizer Pack‘ DLC goes on sale today. The DLC contains the Archon Visor, the Capacitor Helmet and the Inferno Armor and will set you back costs 160 Microsoft or BioWare points (about $2) if you pick it up on either the PC or the Xbox 360.

Here’s a more detailed description for the potential Equalizers amongst you:

Cerberus doesn’t just need a hero – they need a one-man army. That’s why the Equalizer Pack adds the Capacitor Helmet, Archon Visor, and Inferno Armor to Shepard’s armor locker. The Capacitor Helmet stores power for kinetic barriers, allowing Shepard’s shields to recharge faster. The Archon Visor manages omni-tools and biotic amps, reducing the recharge time of Shepard’s powers. The powered Inferno Armor speeds up Shepard’s movements and increases his tech and biotic power damage, additionally stress analysis software even gives him an edge in negotiations outside of combat. The Equalizer — when the armor goes on, the gloves come off.

I just got Mass Effect 2 and log about 30hrs already, i love this game and just starting to get all the DLC’s before ascedning into the Omega 4 relay, this will be an added bonus, for more information hit up the game’s official website.

Two new DLC packs for Just Cause 2 were announced recently. Available April 29th is the Black Market Aerial Pack and on May 25th you can get your hands on the Black Market Boom Pack.

The Black Market Aerial Pack will include:

• F-33 Dragon Fly Jet Fighter: a versatile attack aircraft, equipped with twin missiles and quad-mounted mini-guns
• Multi-lock Missile Launcher: a devastating weapon of destruction featuring laser-guided auto-lock on up to four targets
• Parachute Dual Thrusters: twin parachute-mounted jets which transform Rico’s trademark parachute into one of the most nimble and powerful attack platforms.

The Black Market Boom Pack will contain the following:

• Quad Rocket Launcher: half shotgun, half rocket launcher, all carnage
• Cluster Bomb Launcher: the natural successor to the grenade launcher
• Air Propulsion Gun: a highly experimental jet-powered blast weapon, powerful enough to send vehicles and soldiers skywards.

Both DLC packs will go for $1.99 on the PlayStation Network and 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live. No word on PC option for these DLC’s, shame.

The first DLC for Modern Warfare 2 has now hit Xbox Live. The Stimulus Map pack gives you five new maps to play. Well, three are new anyway. Crash and Overgrown from the first Modern Warfare game are included in the pack, along with Salvage, Bailout and Storm.

The map pack costs 1200 points and is available to download for Xbox Live users now. PS3 and PC players of Modern Warfare 2, will have to wait a couple more weeks before the DLC hits those game versions. For those who download, Infinity Ward are offering players double XP this weekend (April 2nd – 4th) while playing.

The first DLC for Modern Warfare 2 is headed to Xbox 360 on March 30th and I’ve got some screenshots and details for you guys (thanks to gametrailers.com). Of the five new multiplayer maps Bailout, Storm, and Salvage are new, while Crash and Overgrown are making a return appearance from the original Modern Warfare. The DLC will set you back 1200 MS Points or $15 bucks when it debuts later on PS3 and PC. Check out the EBA Gallery for the five new screens showing off each of the new maps.

There is alot of discussion on whether this is a fair price or not, i doubt these maps will get used alot as most people wont pay that much, like the patch updates for MW1, no one on PC ever updated and if you did you’d lose access to some fo the best servers available. Personally I’m not a online shooter player, so I wont hesitate in rejecting this offer, not unless i had a extremely better internet plan, i got really into online play and if i join a clan that is going to use them on regular basis.

Its free!! That’s right, it has been announced that MAG players will get this gratis gear on Thursday, March 25th.

The “Trooper Gear Pack”, as the new content is called, will add Flashbang grenades to the game, as well as new weapons and new outfits for to all three factions. In addition to the content, as a bonus for fans of the franchise, MAG will enjoy a double XP weekend from midnight Pacific time on March 25th until midnight Pacific time on Sunday, March 28th. Just make sure that you finish your game, because if you leave before the end, the double XP won’t count.

While it is exciting for MAG fans to get the first piece of DLC for the game, don’t rest on your laurels. Zipper says that this is just the first in a series of DLC shipments to be dropped into the battlefield in the coming months, which I’ll keep you guys posted on

IGN posted on their website today that they have learned that BioWare will be releasing more DLC for Mass Effect 2. The upcoming DLC will feature a new character, Kasumi, a stealthy vixen of the female persuasion that you will meet at the Citadel. Did the Captain order some strange? A new potential flame emerges, the aroma of jealous I smell perhaps. Here’s hoping for a cat fight.

The Kasumi content will add about an hour and a half of game play as well as some new items and you will be able to access it regardless of where you are in the story.

As a matter of note, this DLC marks the first one that Bioware will be charging for – even if you are a member of the Cerberus Network. While there is no indication as to how much BioWare intends to charge for the content, we do know that it will be available for download on April 6^thfor Xbox and PC.

Charging for DLC, how disappointing. You had as on the hook Bioware, with your free DLC’s, new armour, weaponry even access to a vehicle and then, BAM! Slaps us down with a possible new character to spice up your team, but there’s a catch, there always is.

A post on the official Mass Effect 2 website delivers word of the new Hammerhead assault vehicle coming our way via the new Firewalker DLC pack coming to the Cerberus Network in late March.

Description of new content:

Free to all Cerberus Network members, the Firewalker pack includes 5 all new missions featuring the Hammerhead. Hovering over the battlefield at up to 120 kilometeres per hour, the Hammerhead also boasts a guided missile system ensuring accuracy even during aggressive maneuvering.

In addition, BioWare stated that ME fans can look forward to a new heavy weapon available to all Cerberus Network members very soon, although there were no details given about exactly what or when we’ll see it. Further news shall be posted asap.

EA announced today that brand new Army of Two: The 40th Day DLC is on its way to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The new content is entitled “Chapters of Deceit” and comes complete with two new campaign maps set in Shanghai where, “players stumble upon information that could lead to ending the invasion by Jonah and his 40th Day Imitative army.” The DLC will arrive April 1  and will run PS3 owners $9.99 and 360 owners a paltry 800 Microsoft Points.

This information on this DLC is vague at the moment, will keep you posted, but unless it extends the campaign from its short 7-8 hrs playthrough i doubt this i’ll be worth the money unless you love the Army of Two games and/or the multiplayer.
