The E3 Expo reports that over 90% of the available exhibit space has already been sold to exhibitors, which count publishers, developers, accessory makers, and of course the big three (Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony).

Furthermore, registrations are now open, so if you’re part of the media, you can register (and pay a few hundred dollars) to attend the expo.

It has been revealed that Bad Company 2 will indeed feature DLC, and not just any DLC, an actual in-game store, as producer Patrick Bach said,

“We have an in-game store where you get free content or you can buy new content to the game, so it’s a very integral part of the game that we will have a long post-launch campaign. I think people will be thrilled to see what’s in that already. On day one, you will get some really cool stuff.”

We’re sure people will be thrilled as long as it’s free. Sadly, though, it seems that EA is determined to apply the nickle and dime theory to every one their games.

Another short and rather staged multiplayer walkthrough of the upcoming Aliens vs. Predator game, and honestly, we really don’t know what to think, as the trailer/walkthrough appears too staged to give any decent impression of what the game will be like.

It seems that EndWar won’t be seeing a sequel anytime soon, as previously thought. VG247 recently inquired Ubisoft’s own Michael de Plater regarding the development of said sequel to which he responded that the game has been put “on the back burner”.

If you aren’t familiar with EndWar, it is a RTS title developed by Ubisoft Shangai which made its debut in late 2008. The game was intuitive because it featured the ability to be controlled entirely by voice.

There’s been no word on why the game has been put on hold or for how long but we’ll keep you updated.

All great games get a limited edition version as well, and even some mediocre game to as well. But we can’t really say which one is Metro 2033, only that a Limited Edition has been announced for the game, which includes an exclusive in-game weapon: a formidable automatic shotgun. In addition, you’ll find four art cards featuring artwork by Russian artist Anton Grechko, the main art designer for the game. Four art cards? What happened to the art books? And the soundtracks? Hmm…

If we are to believe what Square Enix trademark application suggests, where the publisher filed for a mark for the name”Deus Ex: Human Revolution”, it might be the title, or subtitle, or the upcoming Deus Ex 3. However, it might also be another edition of Deus Ex, besides the “3″, for instiance, a PSP/DS version of the game, which usually carry a different subtitle.

According to rumors at Blue’s News, a PC version of Dead Space 2 is not planned. EA didn’t list the PC version at its conference call yesterday, and subsequent inquiries revealed that the publisher has no plans of releasing a PC version at all.

This isn’t such a loss however, the PC version of the original Dead Space was a straight console port, with lacking controls, bad menu navigation, and pretty much everything else you’d expect from something which wasn’t originally a PC game.

EA’s latest fiscal numbers are a bit depressing, as the once biggest games publisher in the world, where the company revealed that they lost $82 million and that revenues were down 25%.

However, keeping in mind that a year earlier, EA lost a staggering $560 million, one can certainly see the bright side of it. The publisher saw revenues of $1.24 billion during Q3, statistically the strongest period of game releases.
