Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is getting what I assume will be its final piece of story-based DLC today. "The Echo Six Expansion Pack 2" features the last three missions for the "good guy" Special Ops team. This should put a bow on the Raccoon City adventure as players assist Claire Redfield, battle gruesome B.O.W.s, and attempt to escape the deadly T-Virus outbreak. It's priced at 800 MSP or $10.

Hello Co-Optimus my old friend, I've come to talk to you again. I come bearing bad news that came in a vision, whilst I was sleeping (that or from a Destructoid posting). PS Vita owners expecting Silent Hill: Book of Memories in May will have to have a rethink - it ain't happening. The first clue was when Amazon changed the game's release date from the already slipped date in May to October 31st. Now Konami have confirmed that gamers will have to wait several more months to get their greasy mitts on the 4 player online co-op title.

Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski, famous for his work on the Unreal Tournament and Gears of War series, has gone on record stating that many Japanese developers are leaving an opportunity on the table by skipping out on co-op and multiplayer modes in their games. While Bleszinski said he doesn't believe every game has to have a tacked on multiplayer experience, there's definitely room for it in titles because of the replayability it adds.
