The previous 2 DLC packs for Borderlands hit Xbox Live and PSN with gamers still clamoring for more to do on the distant world of Pandora. You have built your individual character to your liking using Borderland’s in game “path” RPG system and gamers have grown fond of their creations. Trouble is, when the second playthrough of the game is over and the stash of unique weapons runs dry, most gamers put their killing machines up on the shelf. The greatest thing about the third Borderlands DLC is that it allows you to take your one of a kind character and kill, kill, and get more loot.
With God of War 3 still on the brain and MLB games on my desk, I’ve had to put Mass Effect 2 on hold. With new DLC right around the corner, I think it’s time to get back to BioWare’s epic adventure. Take a gander at some solid gameplay footage featuring the new Hammerhead vehicle. I need to get back to saving the galaxy from the Collectors.
I’ve been playing the shit ton out of the new Borderlands: Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC. I just can’t get enough of it! It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a DLC. More gameplay, more awesome guns, more enemies to kill, more vehicles, just more everything! I’m almost finished with my first play-through for my review here on Loot Ninja, and one thing I came across was a glitch that happened right before you enter the armory with all of the chests and precious loot.
The way the game is supposed to work is you start a countdown sequence in the armory and you have two and a half or three minutes to grab as many guns and open as many chests as you can. This glitch allows you all the precious time you need.
I pre-ordered Heavy Rain from Best Buy and used all of my left over Rewards Zone certificates to cut the cost of yet another video game purchase down to a more manageable $40. I don’t see my situation getting any better over the next couple of weeks considering in March there’s going to be a ton of awesome releases coming our way that Matt mentioned previously. My game backlog is already full, but Heavy Rain has garnered a lot of press and buzz around the community for its “gameplay”, so I might slide this one to the top of the list.
Heavy Rain came out Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, and I just now get this e-mail from Best Buy about the delay? I figured I would be busy playing Bioshock 2, or the Borderlands Add-On DLC, or The Mis-adventures of P.B. Winterbottom, but this sure would have been nice to take a break from those and play the pre-quel episode BEFORE I actually get the game in the mail. I have literally been trying to download this prequel episode for two days now with no success. Thanks Best Buy. At least you let me know something! I’ve been tracking my package for Heavy Rain and it’s in my town, but I don’t know if it’s at my doorstep and they just haven’t updated their system yet. I’ll keep you guys posted. You guys have any issues or try to download this? Now you have an answer.
Have you poured countless hours into Assassin’s Creed II and have been sitting there drooling in a semi-comatose state waiting for more Ezio? Well wake the fuck up because some new DLC is out today with Bonfire of the Vanities. It fits in with one of the missing sequences in the DNA timeline, so you’ll get a better idea of just what’s going on over there in old school Italy. Take a look at some gameplay and get buying.
That’s right, a stone cold pimp is exactly what you’ll become when you get today’s free Mass Effect 2 DLC. Well, maybe not, but your pimp hand will be way strong with new armor and a new shotgun.
Cerberus Assault Armor
Cerberus assault armor is designed for shock troops, turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would decimate normal soldiers.
Increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%
Increases shields by +10%
Increases health by +10%
M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun
The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armor-piercing loads. This design also violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22a is not distributed to militaries.
Yeah, suffice it to say that once I get home from work, I’ll be playing ME2 all night. Dammit this game is addicting.
Here is the good news. Free Mass Effect 2 DLC is coming our way in what people are saying is a “couple of weeks“. I’d be happy if it showed up before the Winter Olympics ended. The content is free, but only if you have enabled the Cerebus Network. This redeem code should have been included in your NEW copy of ME2. Now, if you are sharing the game with people in your house, and they are playing on a different gamertag, i.e. my situation, they would have to spend the 15 bucks to get the Cerebus DLC in order to get this free content as well. I hope it will be a new planet system or some new side quests and not a new rifle or armor upgrade.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a new DLC promotion with EA games and Dr. Pepper. The concept seemed simple enough, drink Dr. Pepper, save the cap, redeem your code and download content to your EA game. This worked really well with Spore. I was even surprised that one code got me a whole pack of mech parts for Spore. They downloaded and installed just fine and I made a creature with them.
However, getting the download codes to work for Sims3 is a royal pain in the ass. I have wasted four codes trying to get Sims3 downloads. The instructions are not very clear and there is no information to help with problems. Getting content should not be this hard. Hit the jump to see what happens when I try.
Everyone is well aware now that the GTAIV DLC, Episodes from Liberty City, will be coming to the PS3 after all. Is anyone truly surprised? The first reaction from myself and other gamers I spoke to was, “Did MS really foot the bill for Rockstar to make the DLC”. On the surface, it would appear that they paid a ton of money for exclusive content that is no longer exclusive. If you look at the numbers, it was actually a shrewd business move.
I was one of many gamers to pick up my copy of Mass Effect 2 yesterday. Awesome isn’t the word. Back on topic, there are some issues with the free DLC that comes with the game as well as the pre-order bonus from Gamestop. I had no issue putting in the Cerebus code that comes with the game. I did not attempt yet to download the free DLC that comes with it. Many gamers have been faced with all kinds of errors. This has been a problem with both the 360 and PC versions. Here is a list of ways to get around the issues that Xbox Live was having as well as PC solutions. The DLC on Xbox Live should be up sometime this afternoon as noon was promised. If anyone has been able to download the new stuff, let us know as we are stuck at work and can’t play video games. FML.
