Similar to Mass Effect 2, EA’s Dragon Age 2 is going to feature something similar to the Cerberus Network which provided players bonus content if they happened to purchase the game new. This will stay true to EA’s Project Ten Dollar policy which discourages used game purchases due to players missing out on content otherwise free.
Mark Darrah, executive producer for DA2 told Joystiq:
“We will be doing that. We haven’t announced what’s in it, but it’ll definitely be something kind of in that Cerberus vein where there will be additional content. What we’re doing with the DLC in Dragon Age 2 is making it larger; so it’ll be bigger teams, more unique environments, more unique creatures — so that it gets the attention it deserves to get.”
This means that although the Cerberus Network only added a handful of bonus content to ME2, whatever the network will be called in DA2 will most likely add even more content to influence purchases. It has already been seen that both Bioware and EA have been pushing to receive more pre-orders as well with a free upgrade to the Signature Edition at no extra cost.
Dragon Age 2 is going to be landing on March 8th 2011 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Everybody knows that Red Dead Redemption made the Old West even cooler. But what makes Red Dead Redemption even cooler? That is correct! Zombies.

Rocket Riot, a hit from the XBLA, has made its way to Windows Phone 7 devices like the Samsung Focus. This game looks very cool and is described as “explosive arcade shooter, which combines the eight-bit era style from the eighties with a modern twist.” If you are up to the challenge, grab your bazooka and jet pack and jet on over to the Windows Phone 7 marketplace. Destructible environments and crazily insane enemies await you. Last year, Rocket Riot won a Dutch Game Award, and it is now one of the first games available for Windows Phone 7. Remember that Windows Phone 7 has already released in Europe and will be launching on November 8 in the USA.
Peter de Jong, CEO Codeglue states: “When we started on this project, we were a bit skeptical if we could create the same explosive experience as we did on the Xbox 360, due the fact that we were developing for a mobile phone. Fortunately, the contrary was true. We think that the Windows Phone 7-version is every bit as explosive than its older counterpart!”
The last time you played Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, were you irritated that Spiderman had so many forms? “Why can’t he just be one person?,” you would lament. Well Activision and developer Beenox have listened to your outcry and released the Cosmic costume. Through all four worlds- Amazing, Noir, 2099 and Ultimate- gamers will be able to play in one Cosmic costume that changes slightly for the different worlds, for a measly $3. They can also now use one signature charge attack. Get the DLC on Xbox today or get it on PS3 in a week.
A bit earlier today we reported that Telltale’s five part game series just went available for pre-order on their website today in anticipation for the game’s PC and Mac release this December. But what we didn’t know at that time is that you can get the very first episode of Back to the Future: The Game for free. If you happen to type in the code 121GIGAWATTS you will be able to secure yourself the very first episode of the series when it is released.
Now using the code does require that you register at Telltale’s website but that takes nothing more than a few minutes. Now keep in mind that as the game has not yet been released, those who do enter the code will only be receiving a confirmation email. This means that in December you will be getting a bit of an early present from Telltale when one day you wake up with the first episode of Back to the Future in your inbox.
About two months after its release, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will be receiving an online coop patch and free DLC. Just remember that the DLC will only be free for 30 days so be sure to get it soon. ‘All the Trappings’ will feature a new area full of combat, puzzles and exploration. The DLC and patch are getting their release on PS3 and PC soon.
“We’re delighted the Online Co-op is ready and going live – as a thank you to the patient Xbox gamers, and for a limited time only we will be giving away our first DLC pack for free. Download it, have a go and while you’re there try the online co-op mode, it’s great fun,” said Darrell Gallagher, General Manager of Crystal Dynamics.
What do you do when you are nothing but a man driven from his home, on the run as a refugee from Darkspawn forces attempting to take over your world? Well you become a Champion of course. This Dragon Age 2 trailer explains just a bit about the changes that Hawke goes through over the course of the game.
Beyond telling us a little bit about who Hawke is, we also are treated to gameplay footage and even the rogue class players can choose. I don’t know about you but she looks to be one interesting fighter as opposed to the warrior or mage that players are used to.
Dragon Age II will be releasing on PC, PS3, and 360 on March 8th in the US and March 11 everywhere else. Catch the Rise to Power trailer below:
