Rockstar have announced that the Outlaws To The End Co-Op multiplayer Mission Pack will be made available FREE this June on both Xbox Live Marketplace & Playstation Network. From what we’ve heard this co-op mode adds an entire new dimention to Red Dead Redemption’s game play.
“Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we’ve created, but we felt the experience would not be complete without co-op game play,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “With these missions, we wanted to create new ways for players to share in the experience of engaging with this amazing landscape.”
One of three downloadable content packs, the ‘Outlaws To The End’ Co-Op Mission Pack features six all-new multiplayer missions full of outlaws, epic gunfights, and revolution for 2-4 players. The ‘Outlaws to the End’ Co-Op Mission Pack offers additional multiplayer XP rewards and brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock. These six explosive and epic missions will play out across the game world, including:
“Walton’s Gold”
Walton’s Gang have taken control of a mining camp rich with gold. Fight through the camp and load your mine cart with as much gold as you can carry and get out as fast as you can – Walton’s boys have rigged the place to blow.
“The River”
Ride a raft down river, taking out rebel encampments along the way until you reach the rebel stronghold of Nosalida and a final epic battle for the town’s massive weapons caches. Watch out for Gatling gun-equipped enemy rafts.
“Ammunition”
The Mexican Army has the town of Tesoro Azul under siege. Storm the gates under heavy cannon, Gatling gun and sniper fire to destroy the Mexican artillery placements.

Over the past few days, Nintendo has been releasing a steady stream of videos involving Super Mario Galaxy 2 daily. For the most part they have been your standard gameplay videos with no real information being released or spoiled. That is until today’s video. In the video today, we are shown that Luigi will be back as a playable character in SMG2. However we do not know yet if he will be available from the get go or if he will need to be unlocked like in the first game after collecting 120 stars.
It does show Luigi collecting stars though and playing on a variety of different planets and areas so here is hoping that he will be a more readily available character choice throughout the game itself. Thankfully though it appears that he has left his trusty ghost collecting vacuum behind.
To see more of the videos released by Nintendo, you can follow them on youtube Here. Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released on May 23rd in the United States on the Wii only, and then later during June for the rest of the world.
After the unexpected release of information by Xbox Live NewsBeat on the unannounced DarkSpawn Chronicles DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware themselves have established a website with information on the add-on. And with it they have also released full details on what the DLC will include, and for only 400 msp it is quite an interesting one.
According to the website you will now be in control of the actual Darkspawn during the final battle of Ferelden, and will change history as the human race and their allies are wiped from the face of the map. Here is a list of the features which will be in the DLC;
* A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair’s command instead?
* A standalone adventure in which you command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.
* Complete the module and unlock an epic Darkspawn item in DA:O and Awakening.
This DLC will be a stand alone one, and will not affect anything in the gameplay itself outside of put you behind the eyes of the enemy and strike down your old party members. This is a great little piece of DLC and it definitely is interesting. At only 400 MSP ($5) it is a steal considering the price of Bioware’s previous DLC releases for the title. What does everyone think about this? Wonder exactly how they are going to factor in various choices from the game as well as what that special item is.
Dragon Age: Origins’ Darkspawn Chronicles DLC will be available on May 18th for the 360 according to Xbox Live Newsbeat, and is set to be released on the PS3 and PC as well.

Captains will collect secret treasure maps, undertake daring missions, play havoc with local townspeople and swiftly hand out pirate-style justice to local braggarts before setting sail for breathtaking open sea engagements unlike any other game before on the Wii.
Overflowing with intense pirate action, Sid Meier’sPirates! has a treasure chest of gameplay riches, including the traditional mini-games from the classic original such as Sword Fighting, Ship Combat and Dancing, as well as two Wii-exclusive mini-games – Bombardment and Lock Picking.
