With MGM’s financial future uncertain, the next James Bond film probably won’t see the light of day for some time, but the rubber-burning minds at Bizarre Creations have got all you 00-agents-in-waiting covered with the announcement of James Bond 007: Blood Stone.
Bizarre Creations, the high-octane team behind racers Project Gotham Racing and the recently released Blur, are at the helm of James Bond 007: Blood Stone, and — from the looks of the game’s brand new reveal trailer — are infusing it with as many explosive boat and car chases as an HD-gen console can process.
Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as the titular spy, with Judi Dench returning as series staple M, and soul songstress Joss Stone debuting as the game’s fittingly named Bond girl. Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein (Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough) will be penning an original story for the game.

Fans of Borderlands don’t need to know much beyond the fact that the third downloadable content pack for the open world role-playing shooter introduces a four-player vehicle, a higher level cap, and a whole new level of rarity for weapons. Just for the sake of clarity and maybe poor ignorant gamers like me, though, let’s break it down by numbers:
61 is the new level cap
44 new Missions (both story and side missions)
20 pages of new dialogue for DLC characters
10 new Achievements
3 new drivable vehicles (and you can drive them in towns)
2 times the size of The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
I may not be all that familiar with Borderlands, but I know as far as DLC goes, this is a pretty sweet deal. By knocking up the level cap and adjusting the world to have a new level of rarity for weapons (Pearlescent), the endgame in Borderlands gets a whole lot longer – and even lower-level characters can cash in on it too, because there’s nothing to stop you from venturing out to the new area added by Secret Armory.

Capcom’s highly anticipated sci-fi shooter will officially be blasting its ways onto store shelves on May 18th, 2010, and it’s bringing along a few guests to help take down the Akrid.
Capcom’s highly anticipated sci-fi shoot-em-up Lost Planet 2 found an official release date at Microsoft’s X10 media event in San Francisco, slated to hit store shelves on May 18th, 2010 for the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
Gamers have already found themselves equally thrilled and confused with the follow-up to action-packed 2007 title, especially since Capcom let slip that Gears of War’s Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago would be making cameo appearances. Also appearing is legendary Resident Evil 5 mastermind Albert Wesker, who will be bringing his own unique brand of sunglasses-themed mayhem to the Akrids.
Upcoming downloadable pack dubbed the “Trials of St. Lucia” to include a co-op mode, fully customizable level editor, and online community to share creations for Visceral’s upcoming hack ‘n slash action game.
Thanks to a apparently leaked video appearing on French video game site Playscope, details of a planned downloadable content pack for Dante’s Inferno have emerged, revealing cooperative multiplayer and customizable content creation for the game, set for release on April 29. According to senior producer Hans ten Cate in the video, “you can custom create trials adding waves of enemies from the core game as well as enemies like The Summoner which are exclusive to the Trials of St. Lucia.” These levels will then exist on the game’s servers and will be able to be shared with other players who can rate and rank the creations.
The co-op play allows players to play as Dante or St. Lucia. So…who is St. Lucia? “St. Lucia of Syracuse is a third century Christian martyr who has her eyes plucked out because she refuses to marry her pagan suitor,” says Jonathan Knight, the executive producer on the game. “She’s mentioned in The Divine Comedy a couple of times, including at the beginning of Inferno and she’s kind of Dante’s guardian angel.”
