L4D Sacrifice coming on Oct,5
Are you interested n revisiting Zoey, Bill, Francis, and Louis? New DLC for L4D 1 and L4D 2 is on the way, and it tells the tale of the original foursome’s quest south. As the title suggests, one of these beloved zombie-slayers kicks the bucket.
There will be individual DLC for each game. If you get The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 1, you’ll get maps for cooperative, versus, and survival, obviously playing as the original four survivors. The Left 4 Dead 2 DLC allows you to play as the L4D 1’s survivors, but obviously uses L4D 2’s engine, weapons, and special infected. Also, this DLC incorporates "sacrificial gameplay" into the finale, which allows the players to decide who lives or dies.
You may be scratching your head and saying, "but Tim, the L4D 2 DLC, The Passing, already revealed who died." To that I say you are correct, but for now we should all enjoy a little bit of non-canonical death. I haven't had had this kind of power over my co-op buddies since betraying my best friend at the end of Streets of Rage.
Each DLC pack is 560 MS Points, or free if you’re using a PC. Will you be returning to thin out the zombie hordes on October 5

According to the Amazon and GameStop product listings, Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete will hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 26 priced at $39.99. The new product was not listed by either retailer for release on the PC.
According to the game’s box art, the Complete edition of Grand Theft Auto: IV will contain the top-rated game as well as previously released downloadable mission expansions The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, which have been since bundled into the Episodes from Liberty City pack.

Deathspank and Shank coming to PC and MAC
After never quite getting a straight answer as to whether or not we'd be seeing DeathSpank on PC anytime soon, EA and Hothead have suddenly announced today that the game is coming to both PCs and Macs later this month, on October 26.
DeathSpank is currently available for pre-order on Steam. By pre-ordering, you'll save 10%, dropping the $14.99 price down to $13.49. Or, you can instead pre-order the "Shank and 'Spank" bundle, which includes both DeathSpank and Klei Entertainment's Shank, the latter of which is also coming to Steam on October 26. The bundle will save you 15%, so you'll pay $25.48 for the two games instead of $29.98.
"Bringing the game to PC and Mac was a direct response to the repeated requests by our fans and we are thrilled that DeathSpank has become so popular and such a phenomenon, ensuring that we can fulfill those requests," said Hothead Games' director of game development Vlad Ceraldi. "The humor, story and core gameplay elements in DeathSpank were all inspired by some of our favorite PC games."

MOH blocks PSJailbreak
The free ride is over - at least for now. Yesterday's US release of Medal of Honor confirms that Sony has nullified the piracy-enabling PSJailbreak by locking the code to the new 3.42 firmware. While "backups" of the game are now circulating the internet, the game is completely unplayable with the hack as is.
Sony's response to the Jailbreak has been measured, but effective. Within a week of the open source PSGroove implementation arriving online, the platform holder released firmware 3.42, closing the USB exploit - effectively locking out hackers from running pirated games and unauthorised code from the PlayStation Network.
The later firmware 3.50 locks down the PS3 still further, with what appears to be a "white list" of approved USB devices added to the system. This locks out all non-approved, non-storage-based USB devices, and has resulted in some controller incompatibilities.
Sony operates on a longer lead time when it comes to physically duplicating game discs, so recent hits like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West remained vulnerable to Jailbreak piracy. However, the release of Medal of Honor demonstrates that all levels of Sony's operation have now caught up in the efforts to prevent piracy.

Age of Empires Enters Closed beta.
Microsoft has announce that Age of Empires Online, their upcoming persistent online PC strategy game, has entered the closed beta phase.
You can head over to the game's official website to sign up for the beta. While there, you'll also find the PC system requirements to play the game, along with a brief description of what to expect from it. Unlike the previous Age of Empires titles, Age of Empires Online is going for a more "approachable" (read: mainstream) style, with players taking control of their own "constantly evolving empire" in a persistent online game world.
As for signing up for the beta, only a few restrictions apply: You have to be at least 18 years old, you need an Xbox Live gamertag (a free Silver account will due), and it's only available in North America and European regions. Also keep in mind that since this is a closed beta, there's no guarantee you'll get in -- if you're interested, you just have to throw your name in the hat and hope it gets plucked out.
