Today Bethesda Softworks had a nice little surprise for all you PC gamers out there. If you happen to check Steam today then you will see that the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s first piece of DLC, Dawnguard, is now available.

The DLC will still cost you $19.99 so it is still the same price as the 360 version released a month earlier. Those who are looking for the PlayStation 3 version of Dawnguard will have to wait a little longer because Bethesda is currently “not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3” and that they would “would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse.”

It is good to see that the company is doing its best to try and make sure that everyone is going to be able to experience a bug-free DLC experience by working out the bugs beforehand rather than release a buggy version and work on patches later.

Are you a fan of those crazy guys who make those crazy songs, known as Linkin Park? Well good news, their new single ‘Castle of Glass’ is set to appear in EA’s latest upcoming first person shooter game, Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

That’s not the end of it though, ‘Castle of Glass’ which is hot off Linkin Park’s latest album ‘Living Things’ will feature a Medal of Honor: Warfighter themed music video, with a focus on a soldier and the sacrifices that a ‘warfighter’ must make alongside clips of the game itself. Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda also has composed the game’s soundtrack, which is said to add new depth to the Medal of Honor experience.

This isn’t the first time Linkin Park have been involved with the Medal of Honor franchsie though. Their hit song ‘The Catalyst’ was previously featured in the reboot game simply titled Medal of Honor.

What do you think of this cross over between Linkin Park and Medal of Honor: Warfighter? Let us know in the comments section below.

Stimulate that Grey Matter with Mensa Academy

Does Dr Kawashima just not do it for you anymore? Have his bizarre floating head and Nintendo exclusivity combined to leave you out of gaming based ways to try and be smarter? Well Square Enix think they have an alternative, with ‘the ultimate brain training game’ Mensa Academy.

Unless you are in dire need of this game then you’ve probably guessed that it has been created in collaboration with Mensa, the mysteriously well known society for people with superior digits in the IQ department. The game features three modes, Play, Coach and Test, providing a pretty self explanatory pathway to increased grey matter effectiveness. Play mode splits 100 levels into five categories – Numeracy, Language, Logic, Memory and Visual, with questions said to be inspired by ‘those attempting to join Mensa’.

Presumably that doesn’t include “Will you keep it a secret if I fail?”

PAL regions can already snap up the game on PC, Wii and 3DS, with a near future release scheduled on Android, iOS, Xbox 360 and PS3. The trailer below shows off a nice visual style, but most importantly has some rather funky music, click on!

InuYasha: The Final Act gets a North American release date

For many anime fans, including myself, InuYasha is the anime that drew them into the fold. However the original anime ended many years while the manga it was based off of kept going many years after that. Then in 2010 a new anime was made called, InuYasha: The Final Act which featured the closing chapters of the storyline in a 26 episode run.

Viz Media had previously acquired the license to release InuYasha: The Final Act in North America, however fans of the series have been left wondering exactly when they would see this release, as it is now two years after the series finished in Japan. Well today a listing appeared on Right Stuf stating that the first half of InuYasha: The Final Act will be released on November 20th on both Blu-ray and DVD, with the DVD version costing $44.99 and the Blu-ray running at $54.99. The title will feature both an English dub as well as the original Japanese dub for purists out there.
