Great news, everyone! Crimson Alliance is getting some downloadable love! No, not that kind - what on earth in wrong with you?

There will also be a new survivor mode titled "Fistful of Coins." Finally, it includes three new Achievements. The Vengeance DLC will cost 240 MSP ($3).
I've been trying to figure out exactly what the heck is going on in these Anarchy Reigns videos. Two men with different intentions, but the same goal, arrive in the ruined city of Altambra. They're looking for some sort of mystery man. And then the "usual suspect are ready." "Usual suspects?" Which one is usual? The robot bull with the jet powered hammer? The tiger man with his gun leg? What about the hulkified-pig-man, or the transformer? I'm done trying to figure it out. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show.
The House of the Dead Overkill - Extended Cut is sticking to its campy grindhouse roots. This latest trailer invites us to the Bayou City County Hospital, a familiar level to anyone who played through the Wii version of the game. The graphics are substantially better, as is to be expected. The game features full Move support as well as 3D, which should add a nice level of immersion to the super violent, ultra-foul-mouthed, light gun game.

Renegade Ops is already out on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, but the PC version remains to be seen.

While the Battlefield 3 beta won't contain any co-op, it is a good chance to get a feel for the game and check out the Battle Log online system. The multiplayer beta for Battlefield 3 kicks off tomorrow on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and while the former two won't require any manual intervention to run other than downloading it, you might want to get your PC in shape today by updating your drivers.
Dark Souls launched last week in Japan. After dealing with some "early adopters" with swift and brutal justice, developer From Software had another problem on their hands: Players were experiencing freezing issues while playing online. I, for one, hope this happened while the game was on a close-up of an enemy's face, leaving some poor gamer to wonder if they had just entered into the most grueling staring match of all time. From Software quickly took the servers offline, allowing players to continue the game solo. A new patch that fixes these freezing issues should be up tomorrow.
