Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening now available on Marketplace - March 16, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

The first expansion for Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening, is now available through the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The download clocks in at a hefty 2 GB download and will cost you a pretty penny – 3200 Microsoft Points, to be exact. If you’re not familiar with the conversion, that’s $40.

You can grab the expansion here.

PC and 360 retail versions will be available this Friday, and the PS3 version will be digital download only in Europe, but will be getting a retail version as well in the US.

Newell says Portal 2 will be epic - March 12, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Valve boss Gabe Newell told 1UP that Portal 2 would allow the studio to take the concept and apply it on a much larger scale.

“One of the nice things about The Orange Box was it allowed us to try out a couple of different things, and Portal really seemed to resonate,” Newell said during his GDC spot.

“We got the signals that we wanted – this is what people liked; this is what people didn’t like. And to us, it was like, ‘OK, now we know how to take this big,’ so that’s what we’re going to do with Portal 2.

“It’s the best game we’ve ever done,” he added.

While the original Portal was fairly short (clocking in at about three to four hours), Portal 2 will be an standalone full-fledged game.

Portal 2 is due out this holiday season for PC, Mac and Xbox 360.

Torchlight may be headed to consoles - March 12, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic games, the developers behind PC Action RPG Torchlight, said that the game may be headed to consoles and that a “serious effort” is being put into the idea.

“We’re going to put some serious effort into it — pretty quick — getting ‘Torchlight’ onto consoles,” Schaefer said.

“There’s a lot of really cool things about the console world, too, that would work well with our game.”

For fans of Diablo and Diablo-type games, Torchlight is an excellent addition to the genre, especially since Diablo III won’t be seen on PC for at least another hundred years or so.

Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution – trailers and screenshots - March 12, 2010 by Joe Pomerening

You might remember this trailer for Deus Ex 3, which didn’t really tell us much of anything about the game. In fact, there’s no gameplay in the video. There’s really nothing in the video at all, except for some abstract… Stuff.

Well, we’ve got a new trailer for you, which shows off a little more than “stuff”.

Unfortunately, we don’t get to see any combat in this trailer, either. But we do get to see what appears to be the main character having some sort of trippy, angelic dream where he flies into the sun and burns.

It’s unclear whether or not you’ll be playing as JC Denton or another clone of him like the previous titles, but the likeness is uncanny, so I feel it’s a safe bet that you play as another clone again.

We’ve got some screenshots and the new trailer after the jump.

Lara Croft coming to XBL, PSN and PC this summer - March 10, 2010 by Jens Erik Vaaler

Fans of Lara Croft won’t have to wait long before being able to go on yet another adventure with the sultry archeologist.

GDC is well under way and Joystiq met up with developer Crystal Dynamics in order to discuss the upcoming title. The game will launch this summer as a download only, being released for PC, 360 and PS3. The full price of the game will be $15.

As confirmed last week, the game will be a top-down isometric, arcade-style co-op game, vastly deviating from the Tomb Raider series regular third person action perspective. Players will take control of Lara Croft and a Mayan spearman named Totec. Together the two will solve puzzles, destroy enemies, platform and, presumably, raid tombs.

Portal 2 confirmed for PC and 360, on cover of next Game Informer - March 5, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Update: GameStop has Portal 2 down for $49.99 and to ship October 26th of this year.

The new single-player will also feature a new cast character, fresh new puzzles and a larger set of “devious test chambers.”  In addition, characters will explore new areas of the Aperture Science Laboratories and be reunited with sometimes-murderous A.I., GLaDOS.

The multiplayer mode will also offer cooperative play and not only require you to play cooperatively but to think cooperatively as well.

Original: Valve’s Doug Lombardi told Eurogamer that Portal 2 is hitting the PC and 360 this holiday season!

Probably not going to make it to the PS3, because that was an EA endeavor – Valve handled the 360 and PC versions.

Not only that, Game Informer said that Portal 2 is to be the cover star of the next issue!

I sure hope there’s cake!

Borderlands still selling well, more DLC on the way - March 4, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Take Two confirmed that Borderlands has hit the 2 million units sold mark and still climbing! Good news, because Borderlands is an awesome game and is only more awesome because of the multiplayer aspect.

Not only that, more DLC is on the way! What’s that? More DLC? After three new add-ons already?

You betcha!

If you haven’t gotten Borderlands yet, go get it! It’s a sweet game, and with The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot as add-ons, there’s plenty of hours to invest in the game.

Full game’s out for all three platforms on March 26th!

I’m making a note here: VIRAL MARKETING - March 2, 2010 by Kyle Gaddo

Valve are not going to let the worldwide PS3 outage steal any of their spotlight, right? Right. So, they’re letting the fans tackle their latest piece of viral marketing for what everyone suspects is a sequel to the award-winning game Portal.

An update to the game offers a new achievement called “Transmission Received” and has something to do with the in-game radios. The radios, when standing in certain spots throughout the game, will pick up interference which sounds oddly like Morse Code.

Get a piece of the action here, but there’s 188 pages (as of right now) of thread to sift through. A lot of it is fluff, but there’s a good amount of information in there.  In addition, RPS seems to have uncovered some ASCII artwork for the game.

Valve, I love you.

Dang, I just got Alien vs. Predator yesterday. Guess I’ll be playing Portal instead.

changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations.
