As the title of this post suggests, a new batch of screens for Metal Gear Rising’s Jetstream Sam DLC have appeared on the mysterious All Games Beta site. The DLC arrives next month (April), but rather than blab on about the shots why not lay your eyes on them right… now

During a couple of interviews with Destructoid at PAX East, Volition has confirmed that Saints Row 4 will have ‘a fuckton more content’ than the previous game and a ‘robust DLC plan‘ is already in the works.
Saints Row 4′s creative director, Steve Jaros says the main campaign is about the same as Saints Row 3 – which is a good 15 hours, if our memories serve us correct. But in terms of open world stuff to do, Jaros says “There’s a fuckton more. Way more. It’s absurd”. He also claims that ‘fans aren’t ready‘ for the amount of stuff they’re putting in and that one side mission he started lasted a whopping four hours, because it sucked him in that much. Big words.
Jaros’ comments arrived after a tiny storm in an espresso cup was created when senior producer, Jim Boone confirmed ‘a very …

Like all the best things in a Bethesda game, especially for oft neglected PS3 owners, Dragonborn makes you work for its love. We spent a while wandering around Windhelm with anticipation, waiting for some sign that ‘new things’ would happen. Thankfully, it wasn’t long before we were set upon by a gang of priests in spiky masks, angry at our supposedly false claim of lineage to the great fire breathing monsters of the sky.
A quick fight and a brief rummage for clues inside their clothes later and we had our destination: a boat to take us across the sea to the new land of Soltsheim. Our quest? To seek out Miraak who has plotted our demise.
The boat takes you to Raven Rock, a town located on the south-west coast of the island of Soltsheim. Upon arrival you’ll notice enough visual modifications to feel like …

Developer Naughty Dog is only going to be offering multiplayer DLC for its upcoming PS3 exclusive, The Last of Us, and doesn’t currently have any plans for expanding the single-player story.
In an interview with EvolveEnt, Naughty Dog’s community strategist, Arne Meyer, said “DLC for The Last of Us is only going to be multi-player focused. We’re not looking at single-player DLC. It’s really simple – we wanted to make sure that we could throw everything that we wanted to into the game and that everything was really at the level of quality that we always want to put in.?
You can watch the full interview here:
Two Special Edition bundles for The Last of Us were announced earlier this year and each includes a different DLC pack. The Last of Us is currently scheduled for release 14 June, exclusively on PS3.…

Hey, remember when former THQ president, Jason Rubin said that the next Saints Row should ditch the gags and become as serious as Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim? We do. We also remember thinking that without the humour Saints Row would be a load of old bum, and it seems new publisher Deep Silver thinks the same. Enter Saints Row 4 – out August 23rd – and a launch trailer that laughs in the face of seriousness.
Surprisingly, this fourth installment started life as a big-budget cut of DLC for Saints Row 3 called Enter The Dominatrix, but it’s been fleshed out to provide a brand-new game full of super powers, Tron-cycles and men in combat gear doing ‘the robot’. Take a look at this…
To our eyes it appears rather samey to Saints Row 3. We just hope there’s enough new stuff to warrant another splurge of cash. After all, with …

We’ve known about the two Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC packs ‘Jetstream’ and ‘Blade Wolf’ for some time, and Konami has now announced that both of these story expansions will release sometime in April for PS3 and Xbox 360 (although in the US they’re PS3 exclusive, so Xbox gamers go without). The only confirmed price so far is $6.99.
If you’re looking for some Metal Gear Rising to keep you busy in the meantime, the VR Mission Expansion for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is already out on the EU PS Store, priced £1.99 or for completely free until 3 April in the US, and is also available on Xbox Live in Europe, priced 240MSP.…
Continue ReadingFrom the looks of the launch trailer, where Wei Shen is busted back down to beat cop, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that Year of the Snake will start out handing out parking fines and settling disputes as a sort of Police Academy theme tune tinkles over the top. But this introduction is played out in a cutscene and is incredibly fleeting. Similarly, this episode of Sleeping Dogs is equally brief.
After disobeying orders from the top brass and blowing up half of Hong Kong, Wei is forced into walking the beat again. Cue brief cutscene and general grunts of disapproval from our hero. But you don’t play any of the mundane stuff. All of a sudden a mad cult – though, we’re yet to come across a sane one – leaps onto the scene and jabbers about the end of the world …

At last, the first opportunity for some non-Battlefield Premium members to sample End Game – the final piece of Battlefield 3 DLC – as it’s scheduled to arrive on the PlayStation Store today, priced £11.99/$14.99.
This is the penultimate release in End Game’s staggered launch schedule – the expansion was released two weeks ago for PS3 Battlefield Premium members, and a week ago for Xbox Battlefield Premium members. So it’s now only regular Xbox 360 gamers who don’t have access to the DLC – they’ve got another week to wait before End Game arrives on Xbox Live on 26 March.
End Game introduces new vehicles (including dirt bikes), new maps, and the return of the classic Capture the Flag mode. Here’s a launch trailer:

To coincide with the game’s US release, God of War: Ascension’s director, Todd Papy, has revealed that the latest entry to the God of War series will be supported with an on-going schedule of DLC.
“We put a great deal of thought and effort into the multiplayer modes you’ll discover in Ascension, including the recently revealed 2-player cooperative Trial of the Gods,” Papy wrote on the US PlayStation Blog. “Supporting this new addition to the God of War universe and the community we’re hopeful builds around it for a while to come is of the utmost importance to us.
“To that end, we can today confirm a substantial DLC plan, among which will be new armor and weapons sets, new stages to battle in, and much more. All of this will be free for owners of the Ascension Collector’s Edition, since it includes a comprehensive Season Pass (which will not be …
