Unboxing vids aren’t generally of the “GREAT” variety, but when you combine a great game, with a great special edition, and a great gag, well…Greatness ensues. Don’t take my word for it though, check out the official BioShock 2 Special Edition unboxing video after the jump…it’s pretty great.

With a week to go until the release of EA’s Dante’s Inferno, it appears that at least one copy of the game has slipped under the radar and into the hands of an individual possessing both a love of DLC and internet movies. Uploaded earlier today, a featurette apparently contained on the game disc reveals the “Trials of St Lucia” DLC which, according to Senior Producer Hans ten Cate, is a “downloadable expansion that brings mutliplayer co-op and content creation to the game”.

At its core, it appears that the content will serve to allow co-op gameplay within custom-created “Trials” that will be uploaded then download and ranked by users via the game’s servers. The content will also feature exclusive baddies and the ability to play as St Lucia who is referred to as Dante’s “Guardian Angel” of sorts.

Per the video, the content is expected to be released on April 29.

Now, while this is still unofficial, we DID get a few new OFFICIAL screens from Dante’s Inferno today which you can check out inside the game’s gallery here on EBA.

Check out the video for the ‘Trials of St Lucia’ DLC after the jump and stay tuned for any more info on the content as it emerges.

A post on The Behemoth (Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid) official blog has revealed BattleBlock Theatre, previously known only as “Game 3″, for Xbox Live Arcade. The game, which doesn’t have an official release date, is described below:

Having shipwrecked on a mysterious island you find yourself both betrayed by your best friend Hatty and captured by the locals. All of this is happening while being forced into deadly performances. This however, is just the start of your problems.

BattleBlock Theater is our upcoming third title for the Xbox Live Arcade. Website to follow in the next few days and as we inch closer to the release of the title we’ll be unfolding more of the story online.

Nice. Words are only so good of course, which is why we’ve posted the debut trailer below as well. We’ll keep you posted on any new details as they emerge.

As promised, last night’s GTTV revealed the latest title from Platinum Games. Titled Vanquish, the futuristic shooter was showcased via a live-action trailer featuring mechs, one pissed off politician, and a wickedly armed dude in a combat suite that sorta resembled the main guy from Shadow Complex…Anyway, there was no release window given or even platforms specified, but considering the development studio behind it, we’ll certainly keep our eyes on Vanquish and get you any new details as they emerge. Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump or in HD right here and then let us know what you think in the comments section below.
