Xbox 360

April 17th has been announced as the official release date for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on the Xbox 360. Supposedly it looks and runs great and has in no way had the difficulty toned down for the console. And there will be new content! Check out this great article from Kirk Hamilton on the upcoming port and share your thoughts!

There’s a rumor going around that the next Xbox will not allow the consumer to play used games on it. Obviously this has some pretty significant implications. IGN wrote an interesting article on the matter. What are your thoughts?

Rayman Origins PS Vita and PC Release Dates

That’s right – the highly acclaimed reboot of the Rayman series from 2011 is officially coming to the PC. Rayman Origins will hit the PC on March 29th, shortly after the game releases for the PS Vita (Feb. 14th in NA and Feb 22nd in the EU) and Nintendo 3DS (March 20th in NA and March 16th in the EU).

Personally, I have been holding out to play this on the Vita. How about you? With the ubiquitous release of the game this spring, will you be playing Rayman and, if so, on what platform?

Sound Off! Gotham City Impostors beta

Hey, Axeheads! I’m about to run off and download the Gotham City Impostors beta on the PlayStation 3, which is available today, by the way. But while it’s downloading, I’d love to hear what you guys think about it, whether you just tried it today for a few minutes or you were in the closed beta for a while. I mean, c’mon–it’s the Batman universe as a first-person shooter! How does that not sound awesome?

I’ll swing by the comments later on in the week to drop my two cents, but I welcome you all to join the fray and let your havoc be heard on the topic. Is Gotham City Impostors a shameless FPS cash-in? Or is this download-only title a diamond in the bat cave?

Morning, everyone! Activision just released a nifty schedule for Modern Warfare 3′s downloadable content season, mapping out specifically what’s to come between now and September. There’s a nice combination of new maps, modes, and missions, which should hopefully keep the game feeling fresh all year long. Be sure to check it out!

The Muppets DLC for Little Big Planet 2 released. YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

The Little Big Planet 2 DLC pack featuring The Muppets has been released on PSN! The Muppets Premium Level Kit features the usual bells and whistles such as new level backgrounds, Materials, Decorations, Objects, Stickers, Music, and Audio Objects for those crafty user-level creators.

What makes this pack stand out is 5 Muppet-themed levels and the introduction of a new Material: the “Attract-O-Gel”. The Attract-O-Gel allows players to walk on walls and ceilings, wich will lead to many interesting and gravity defying level creations. The pack retails for $5.99 and also comes with a bonus Rowlf the Dog costume.

Hit up Media Molecule‘s site for more details, pics, and a trailer.

The fight for our internet freedom is far from over. ACTA is the latest bill to threaten our privacy. Sign the petition that ask the White House to abandon their support for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
