Xbox 360 News

We're playing right into the hands (mouths?) of Biting Elbows by running this. But what are we meant to do? Their promo video for the song The Stampede is a direct video response to the Mirror's Edge trailer on YouTube, and with good reason. It's exactly like the game. Only with live action in real locations, ridiculously high production values and surprisingly impressive special effects. It also contains pixelised nudity, so be warned if that sort of thing offends you.

The fourth add-on pack for Fallout: New Vegas is out today on Xbox Live, Steam, and the PlayStation Network. The Lonesome Road DLC will cost 800 MS points for Xbox 360 or $9.99 of real money for PC or PlayStation 3. If you download the new content, you'll be contacted by Ulysses, the original Courier Six who is also known as the man who refused to deliver the platinum chip at the start of game, getting you mixed up in a conspiracy to take over New Vegas. He'll offer to reveal why he didn't take the job if you're willing to take one last journey for him, a trip into the desolate canyons of the Divide. That's one of those “few have entered, none have returned” locations ravaged by storms, earthquakes, and who knows what else...

Orcs Must Die! will be out on October 5 for XBLA and October 12 on Steam and other electronic distribution platforms. The game is a blend of tower defense and third-person action, similar to Double Fine's mech-assault game Trenched, where you take the role of a powerful soldier in the battlefield, deploying defenses and fighting at the same time. Orcs Must Die!, however, is in a brightly colored medieval fortress — tower defense that's, logically enough, in a tower...

If you've been keeping tabs on Dark Souls, you know Namco's been teasing the upcoming harder-than-hardcore RPG with successive glimpses at the title's backstory. The final clip in the series rolls together everything that's come so far, wrapping everything up with the last bit of story to slot between “the creation of the game's universe” and “the bit where you press Start.” In case you’ve missed any of the previous Dark Souls prologues, we’ve included all of them here. Have a look…

Alright, we’re going to be honest with you: we have some bad news for you. It’s not terrible news, but, well, it’s bad – at least for some people. The PC version of Batman: Arkham City is being delayed from October to November, so any PC gamers looking forward to cleaning up the streets of Gotham are going to need to wait at least a few more weeks.

See? We warned you. But this sad story comes with some good news as well...

We may never fully understand Square Enix's affinity for ill-fitting love ballads, but thanks to these new Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailers from TGS 2011, we at least have more insight into the twisty turny time travelling plot of its forthcoming RPG sequel...

Ubisoft is rewarding early adopters of Assassin's Creed: Revelations for PS3 with a bonus copy of the very first game in the AC series. The freebie is being offered as part of an exclusive partnership with Sony, and will appear pre-loaded with “day one” versions of the upcoming sequel…

Blockbuster has always been a slow moving beast. When competition started offering movies by mail and streaming options it eventually followed suit, though it took its time doing so. But now, with its main competitor on the ropes for the first time in years, it is ready to pounce. In a move that’s positioned to remind gamers that there’s another rental option besides Netflix’s rebranded DVD service Quickster, Blockbuster has announced plans to offer one month of unlimited movie and game rentals to anyone who purchases Gears of War 3 from one of its stores...

EA has announced plans to deploy the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta next Thursday, September 29. The testing will be open to all players, however those who pre-order the digital PC version or a Limited Edition of 2010's Medal of Honor from EA's online Origin store will receive early access to the pre-release party starting September 27...

So, a double kick in the stones for original Homefront dev Kaos Studios then. Not only was it shut down by publisher THQ following the release of the first game (despite decent sales), the franchise it kickstarted is now officially going ahead without it. Yup Homefront 2 (proper title currently unconfirmed) is on the way, and in a somewhat left-field turn of events, it's coming from Crytek.

Though more specifically, it's coming from Crytek UK. ie. the new name for Free Radical Design. ie. the new name for the developer of TimeSplitters. A surreal, eccentrically British take on a brutal Korean invasion this time then? It's doubtful, but we can but hope...
