The Freelance Police are coming to the Playstation Network for the first time ever!
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is the latest episodic adventure of the anthropomorphic crimefighting duo. The first episode, titled "The Penal Zone," will be released on the PC, Mac and PS3 starting on April 15th. There is no word on whether or not Sam & Max will return to Xbox LIVE Arcade and, right now, it seems that season three is a PSN exclusive.
After a meeting with EA, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia says that the company has high hopes for BioWare's upcoming MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic and believes it can reach two million subscribers.
Without a doubt, SWTOR is one of the most anticipated titles of 2011, and EA has stated that the game is its largest development project ever. According to Bhatia, at least one million subscribers will be needed for EA to break even.
One million subscribers is certainly possible, especially with a high-profile developer like BioWare working on a wildly popular franchise like Star Wars. But, as recent MMORPGs Age of Conan and Warhammer Online can attest to, it's a lot easier to get one million subscribers than it is to keep them.
BioShock 2's Sinclair Solutions DLC pack was released this week. Thanks to some eagle-eyed members of the BioShock community, though, we've learned that the content has been on the retail game disc all along.
If you're the type of gamer who loves a good dungeon crawl, you're in luck. Bethesda announced on Monday that it is publishing Hunted: The Demon's Forge, a third-person co-op fantasy game being developed by inXile.
Set in a dark fantasy world, Hunted lets you and a friend team up to battle your way through waves of enemies as either ranged expert E'lara or master swordsman Caddoc. Using a variety of weapons, spells and cover tactics, players will explore dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns as they investigate the disappearance of townsfolk from across the land.
It looks like EA might be dropping a not-so-subtle hint about the release date of the next Dragon Age game.
A card in the packaging of the Dragon Age: Awakening expansion contains the hint - a bloody dragon logo with the date 2-01-2011 (check it out).
While there's no official word from EA yet, it's safe to say that something is coming on Feb. 1st that Dragon Age fans will want to clear their calendars for.
LucasArts announced today that everyone's favorite Mighty Pirate is returning this summer in Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge.
Having defeated the evil ghost pirate LeChuck in his first adventure, pirate extraordinaire Guybrush Threepwood is now setting his sights on the treasure of Big Whoop. Legendary treasures however, come with legendary challenges and Guybrush will have to use his wits and humor to prove himself the greatest pirate in the Caribbean. Voodoo dolls, spitting contests and amusement parks are just some of the challenges Guybrush must overcome as he meets old friends, fights familiar enemies and uses every single ounce of his wits to become the most celebrated pirate ever.
Four songs from eccentric pop star Lady Gaga are coming to the Rock Band Store next week.
The songs can be purchased individually for 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) or 200 Wii Points. They will also be available as a DLC pack on the Xbox 360 for 560 Microsoft Points ($7).
The four songs are:
"Bad Romance"
"Just Dance"
"Monster"
"Poker Face"
As a bonus, gamers will also be able to purchase Eric Cartman's rendition of "Poker Face" from the SouthPark episode "Whale Whores." Which, in my opinion, is totally worth the $1.99. Don't believe me? Watch the video!
UPDATE: After suffering a second attack, Ubisoft's servers are up again, according to a tweet they made in the wee hours last night that says, "Login servers were partially reestablished at 10pm CET and fully restored at 1am CET. The attack affected only those trying to login."
Ubisoft's new, controversial DRM system has already had it's first setback. According to a massive post on Ubisoft's European forums, some PC owners were unable to play Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5 this weekend because of an attack on the company's authentication servers that left them inaccessible for almost seven hours.
In an open letter to the Xbox LIVE community, General Manager Marc Whitten announced today a change in the online platform's Code of Conduct that will allow players to express their race, nationality, religion and sexual orientation in Gamertags and profiles.
"Under our previous policy," Whitten explains, "some of these expressions of self identification were not allowed in Gamertags or profiles to prevent the use of these terms as insults or slurs. However, we have since heard feedback from our customers that while the spirit of this approach was genuine, it inadvertently excluded a part of our Xbox LIVE community."
The battle between the former CEO and president/game director of Infinity Ward and Activision is getting a little uglier.
Jason West and Vince Zampella, who were fired earlier this week, have filed a lawsuit against Activision, claiming the company "terminated their employment weeks before they were to be paid substantial royalty payments as part of their existing contracts for Modern Warfare 2."
Blizzard has updated the Diablo III website with all new information on the game's Wizard class.
The site now features animated models of both the female and male Wizard, who looks like he's not afraid to rock some funky headgear. There is also new concept art, screen shots, and movies that show off some of the gameplay and cinematics, including the above trailer.
Sure, the PS3 is having some problems right now, but that doesn't mean you can't still get a Heavy Rain fix.
PlayStation Nordic has posted a series of interactive Heavy Rain clips on YouTube. You can't perform any of the smaller interactions, but you can make the bigger decisions by clicking on the annotation links at the end of each clip. You'll then be taken to the next clip and shown what happens next.

Mass Effect 2 fans can rejoice! The Hammerhead is finally coming! BioWare's Cerberus Network page has updated information on its latest downloadable content for the action/RPG sequel.
The Firewalker DLC pack features 5 new missions revolving around the Hammerhead. According to the site, "The Hammerhead is a heavy assault vehicle that hovers over the battlefield at up to 120 kilometers per hour and features a guided missile system ensuring accuracy even during aggressive maneuvering."
