Call of Duty: Black Ops is getting the DLC that everyone always wanted...but sadly still requires the full game. As a downloadable title this game would make a killing! Still, Rezurrection includes all the co-op zombie maps plus a brand new insane zombie map called Moon for your undead killing pleasure.
I've got another "Rage: Behind the Scenes" video for you today. This is the final video in the six part series, and it features the sound and art design. Yep, that is John Goodman as the voice of Dan Hagar. They also talk about the gutsy feel of the firearms and how they can paint objects at the pixel level. Fancy. This video doesn't have a lot of gameplay, but it does have some impressive images and that twangy guitar music I know you all love. If you want to see it in action sans twang, check out the awesome "Uprising" trailer right here.
Two new characters have joined the roster of Anarchy Reigns. A few days ago we brought you the Durga video. It featured a tiger man with a revolver cannon leg. I'm not kidding. The next two guys are even more bizarre. First we have Oinkie. He's a giant pig man who knows Kung Fu. I'm still not kidding. In fact, I'm just getting started. Wait until you see Oinkie after he juices up. Once he's properly 'roided he turns into the love child of Killer Croc, Bane, and bacon. Following that we have Garuda, who looks like a Robotech mech that drunkenly stumbled into the wrong damn game. Upon getting his bearings he just said "Screw it" and started killing up everything he saw. There's even a "Hide your wife" reference in his video. This game gets more insane everyday. I can't wait to see where they go from here.
Amazon is having a sale this week on Xbox 360 titles. If you purchase one game at normal price you'll get a second game at 50% off.

Despite being over a year away, the Borderlands 2 hype train is in full effect. Game Informer is going to have a full month of coverage on the upcoming title, starting with these two videos.
Today Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg was caught blurting out some interesting names while pitching the effectiveness of Call of Duty Elite in getting gamers more involved socially.

Relic and THQ have circled the wagons as far as WH40k: Space Marine co-op news is concerned. While we may not have any new information on the cooperative front, we do have a nice, shiny developer diary for your viewing pleasure. It clearly focuses on the single player experience, which is looking rather boss.
This is part two of the Bodycount: Behind the Bullets developer diary. Like the previous entry, the video is a mishmash of cuts and smash cuts, aided by some snazzy sound effects. The way the whole thing is shot and edited is rather silly, but it does have some nice nuggets of information. The developers discuss the differing environments, character design inspiration, and enemy AI. There are some juicy bits of gameplay footage near the end, be sure to check it out.
The pre-order bonus guns for Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon are now available as DLC on both the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Store. These were the pre-order bonuses offered through Best Buy and GameStop. The gun packs are called "Death from Above" and "Pounds of Pain," and they're mostly centered on the Jet Armor and Battle Armor, respectively. A few other weapons for the Tactical and Trooper armor sets have been tossed in for kicks. You can see them in action here. The DLC will cost you 240 Microsoft Points, or $2.99 in real money.
ThreeGates, a Swedish developer formed from industry veterans last year, has just announced their launch project: Aethereus. Aethereus will be a 4-player co-op PC RPG influenced by oldies-but-goodies giants like Diablo, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and Champions of Norrath.
