You have to give it to Rockstar Games, most companies would charge for every little piece of DLC that comes out, but at least they have provided a number of free DLC packs for those who own Max Payne 3. Today the company revealed a new DLC pack which will be released on August 28 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The Disorganized Crime map pack will add in the Hoboken Rooftops multiplayer map, modifiers for Score Attack mode in Arcade Mode and even a Noir mode that will allow players to run through the game in full gray-scale, which will suit the feel of the single-player campaign perfectly.
While there still is no word on whether or not the title will ever make it to North America in any form, Japanese gamers will soon be able to play Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus on their home console rather than at their local arcade.
Andriasang reports that the release is expected to happen sometime late in October. It is worth noting that when Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is released, it will be similar to the PS2 version in every way, but will be patched into Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R, the upgraded version now at arcades, shortly after release.
Ubisoft have released The Expendables 2 Xbox Live Arcade game for all you action movie fans. Four Expendables (Barney, Gunnar, Caesar and Yin-Yang) are hired to rescue a kidnapped Chinese billionaire. Which, as with all things, goes terribly wrong. You can relive the movie, and the most amazing action sequences with your favourite stars, pillars of the action genre. You can also play with up to 4 players in co-op, so you and your friends can enjoy being badasses together. The co-op can be played on and offline, so don’t worry, you don’t need to be connected to play it.
The game has come out just before the release of the film (for us Australians anyway), and will either hype you up even more, or lower your expectations for it. Either way, action games are usually quite fun, and The Expendables is nothing if not an action packed franchise.
The Expendables 2 is available NOW on Xbox Live for 1,200 Microsoft Points – Grab it HERE.

Ladies and gentlemen, some box art for your consideration. Today we have the Assassin’s Creed III Liberation cover, starring the rather piratical heroine Aveline. There isn’t much to be told from this fairly simple fare that we don’t already know, but sometimes simple is best.
The game is drawing ever closer to simultaneous release alongside it’s console big brother, and is looking to be one of the must haves for the Vita.
Something actually worth noting is the provisional rating slapped on there – a PEGI 18 that seems to promise plenty of full on action. Time will tell exactly what the game has in store, but for now Liberation is certainly high on the Vita watch list.
Assassin’s Creed III Liberation will hit stores on October 31.
Gameloft’s latest offering looks to be a wild good time. Wild Blood is Gameloft’s first game using the Unreal Engine and makes impressive use of it from what their new trailer for the game shows us.
The trailer for Wild Blood, which can be seen below, shows off the game’s impressive use of the Unreal Engine as well as the game’s combat abilities. Not only that but the game looks simply gorgeous graphically. I definitely would not guess it was an iOS/Android title. You can decide for yourself by checking out the trailer for Wild Blood below.
Will you be picking up this title once it launches on iOS and Android devices? Let us know in the comments section.
Viz Media’s Neon Alley has set sail for the Grand Line with Funimation’s uncut English dub of One Piece dropping the anchor in the Neon Alley line-up.
Neon Alley is of course Viz Media’s answer to the Crunchyroll anime streaming service, the difference being that Neon Alley is exclusive to video game consoles (currently only the Playstation 3, but Xbox 360 looks to be receiving the app soon enough).
One Piece will be added to Neon Alley’s already impressive line-up which features popular anime series such as Naruto: Shippuden, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Blue Exorcist and many more. With One Piece now added to that list it is hard to say that Neon Alley is not worth the subscription fee.
Funimation have currently dubbed and released 229 episodes of One Piece. It is unknown how many episodes of the One Piece dub will be available on Neon Alley or what release schedule it will see. What do you think of One Piece being added to Neon Alley? Let us know in the comments section below.
