GTA 4 fans will be happy to hear that Rockstar has unleashed the game’s latest DLC pack ‘The Ballad of Gay Tony’ onto Xbox Live for 1600 Microsoft Points. Now, I bought the first DLC pack and wasn’t very satisfied with spending the $20 but Gay Tony looks to be a lot better.

Don’t know what’s included in this new DLC pack? Head here and watch a trailer for the game.

Last month we learned that the PSP title SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 would be hitting store shelves on November 24rd. Today, Sony has announced that the game is getting a delay to January 12th, 2010. But what gives?

Producer Mark Rogers says that the delay will give them more time to properly market the game and give it the proper attention it deserves. Then again, they probably just don’t want to release it in the same month as Modern Warfare 2.

If you’ve been following Modern Warfare 2 as close as possible you will know that a video of the first level leaked onto the internet yesterday. If you’re not a fan of spoilers, DO NOT READ ON.

The video showcased a group of terrorists proceeding through a airport gunning down a ridiculous amount of civilians in the process while one of the terrorists is controlled by the player. At the end of the video, the player controlled terrorist is shown getting betrayed by the rest of the group and is left on the ground to die.

Well, Activision has today commented on the video saying that the player has an option to skip this scene and is warned that it is potentially disturbing. They also have said that the level is in the game to show the player how urgently they need to stop this terrorist organization and that the game is intended for those 18 or older so they aren’t really in the wrong putting it in there.

Of course, this level is going to have a whole slew of negative media attention.

Borderlands has been a highly anticipated title since it was re-announced earlier this year, with an all new look. And the stylish, sell-shaded look might look like the main attraction for this sci-fi shooter, but there’s a lot more to be had in addition to that; lots of action, aliens, and especially, lots of guns.

The story of Borderlands is somewhat weak, but it’s more than made up for by the slick presentation and the four playable main characters, each with their own style and personality. The game takes place on the planet Pandora, where human have flocked to in order to mine and cash in on large mineral deposits. However, the settlers discover that the planet is actually not that wealthy, and instead of minerals, aliens are the real treat. That’s where you come in… READ ON »

Instead of crafting the usual press release announcing the Limited Edition Bad Company 2 details — well, they actually did, but anyways, DICE has released a new trailer detailing the unlocks that will come with purchase of the Limited Edition Bad Company 2 game, which will otherwise have to unlocked by, you know, playing the game.

Nintendo has gone ahead and confirmed various rumors of a new DSi with larger screens, by officially revealing the DSi XL, which the console will be called in Europe. The new console will have 4″ screens instead of the regular 3.25″, and the whole system will be substantially larger (as you can see above) and will even include a full sized stylus. So far the console has only been announced for Japan (as the DSi LL) and Europe (as the DSi XL), but we expect a North American announcement to come shortly.

There’s no denying that Tetris is close to the heart for many people, the brick-puzzle game has inspired artists for decades, including Mexican industrial designer Gabriel Canas, who designed the Tetris chair you see above. It’s not available for purchase anywhere, as it’s still a concept, with the only specimen planted at Canas’ own home.

Nyko, the master accessory maker — well, not really, but they do make a ton of accessories for games of all kinds — have released a lens attachment to the Nintendo DSi camera, which offers 8X zoom to the rather weak 0.3 Megapixel camera. But at least it works, as you can see on the image above. Won’t win you a Pulitzer in photojournalism, but at least it won’t burn your pocket; $25 is all it set your back.

For those who have pre-ordered Left 4 Dead 2 on the Xbox 360, they can now indulge themselves in the demo of the game, which is available on Xbox Live.

For PC owners, it looks like they’ll have to wait until tomorrow, as there seems to be technical issues with pre-order users accessing their demo download. Anyways, what’s the point of a “demonstration” of a game if you already (pre)purchased it? The better part of the pre-order has always been the few exclusive weapons Valve provided.

(Update) It appears that PC owners who pre-ordered the game now have access to the demo as well. Happy zombie fragging!
