Borderlands 2 DLC May Visit The Sand Dunes Star Wars Style

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Speaking at GearBox Software’s Community Day CEO Randy Pitchford gave us a bit of tease as to the content of the upcoming Borderlands 2 DLC. He says that the DLC is insired by the sand cruisers in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Apparently Randy has always wanted to skid along the sand, and just maybe we’ll get to share in this experience digitally with him.

He said:

“I’ve always wanted to ride a sail barge and drive a Sand Skiff, I’ve always wanted to do that, and we’ve got some cool stuff that’s along those lines.”

The original Borderlands received 3 downloadable episodes and GearBox plans to continue this tradition by releasing 4 expansions to Borderlands 2 by next June. Borderlands 2 releases tomorrow for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3.

Max Payne 3 Gets Noir Filter, Modifiers, New Map in Free DLC Next Week

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Jeff Wade

More DLC for Max Payne 3 is rolling out, like a bad habit that you can’t quit and that won’t cost any of the equally flawed pennies that keep showing up.

There’s no price better than free for the Disorganized Crime DLC pack, that packs in a host of modifiers for the game’s arcade mode like sardines that couldn’t be packed tighter if they were a 90s slang term for cool. Exploding Rounds, aggresive Lone Wolf A.I. and Headshot only modifiers will make a three legged pony show that changes the arcade mode experiance and a brand new noir filter will let you play through the game in a classic black and white filter that matches the game’s noir influences (and this belabored blog post). And there’s just enough room in the tango for the Hoboken Rooftops.

Well, let’s start by saying that if you enjoy PC FPS games you have already heard of Hard Reset, as the game came out last year and had a few good weeks of buzz around it then, we are reviewing the just released extended version.
Not to be overly reductive but, the game feels and looks like the Die Hard sequel to Blade Runner. Jump around in a futuristic super city, fighting what appear to be A.I. driven robots, that are trying to control our database of human minds… Wait a second…Read More

Crusader Kings 2: Sword of Islam DLC Announced

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Paradox Interactive has just announced the Sword of Islam DLC for Crusader Kings 2. The main selling point of this DLC is that, for the first time in the history of the series, you’ll be able to play an Islamic dynasty. Finally, you can experience building up a powerful dynasty (only to see it crushed by the Mongols) from an Islamic perspective. Paradox hasn’t released many details about how the Muslims will play differently than European Christians, but the latest developer diary promises “lots of specific new mechanics for the Muslims, creating a whole new experience for the player, where laws, marriage, holdings, traits, titles and more work entirely different.”

This DLC will come out alongside the 1.06 patch for the game which adds new features like “ an expansion of the map into Mali-Songhay, differentiation on strong and weak claims, new plot,” and a more in-depth combat system. You can watch a trailer for the Sword of Islam DLC after the jump.Read More

New Panzer Corps DLC Released

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Slitherine and Matrix Games have just announced the release of the Panzer Corps Grand Campaign ’45 East DLC. This is the seventh DLC for Panzer Corps, the turn based strategy game by The Lordz Games Studio.

As the name suggests, this DLC campaign focuses on the final months of the war from the German perspective. Things aren’t looking too good for the Wehrmacht as most of the maps take place in (then) German territories like Königsberg, Breslau, and Berlin.

If you are unfamiliar with Panzer Corps, it is an excellent Panzer General clone. The vanilla campaign is fairly epic, but the DLC campaigns upped the ante with gigantic maps and more varied objectives than “kill everybody and take their hexes.” If this sounds interesting to you, then try out the demo here. Read on for more information about the DLC and an unrelated music video featuring scenes from a Stalin era Soviet film about the battle for Berlin.

Dead Island DLC Giveaway

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

I don’t know why, but Thursday’s mortify me. It is unquestionably the scariest day of the week. The spooky mood this morning has inspired me to give out something horror related.

Alas, we don’t have any proper horror games. Instead, we’re going to shake things up a bit and give out DLCs. We have Steam, Xbox 360, and PS3 codes for Dead Island’s Bloodbath Arena and Ryder White DLCs. You will find these codes hidden in our articles, Twitter, Steam group, or Facebook page.

Also, I should warn you know that the ghost of Archibald Yell is still occasionally haunting our steam group’s chat room. Ever since he was killed by a Mexican Lancer at the battle of Buena Vista, he’s been doomed to walk the Earth handing out copies of the Mount & Blade Collection…. You have been warned.
