There is a new race available for Blood Bowl, the dark elves. The game started off with eight playable races but has expanded its roster.  It's basically a football-inspired violent sports game that requires both tactics and violent skill.  Already launched in Europe, the game will be hitting the US next week and will be called Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition since it will contain the new race.  It's not a clever name but gets the point across.

To celebrate the event, Focus Home Entertainment has released a new video showcasing the dark elves.  Enjoy!

It seems there are some hidden gameplay modes that some folks have found on the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Now we know you can launch a nuke if you get a high enough killstreak in the game but how about a game centered around capturing and launching one? Here's video of Global thermonuclear war and how this might play out if Infinity Ward releases this to the masses. It takes a long time to capture the nuke but I'm guessing more people around it will make it capture faster.

For those of you who have played Dragon Age: Origins, or have seen the videos of the Battle of Ostagar, you’ll know how devastating a blow the battle was for the Grey Wardens, further deepening them in their plight. BioWare announced today that we will be able to revisit the dark scene with the upcoming DLC, Return to Ostagar. Quests leading us back to the site will hopefully allow us to avenge Kind Cailan’s brutal death by searching out his armor and arms. We’re promised to uncover some secrets along the way, which will undoubtedly add to the already detailed storyline, and hopefully provide some more insight into the unique personality that King Cailan was known for.

The DLC releases this holiday season for all three platforms running at $4.99 for the PS3, 400 BioWare points for the PC, and 400 Microsoft Points for the 360. [READ MORE]

If you were ever wondering what the NES version of Left 4 Dead would look like here's your answer...

The original Army of Two had some nice customization options but it was still fairly limited to muzzles, stocks, magazine sizes, color, and a few other small items.  Well for Army of Two:The 40th Day, the team is really letting you go hog wild and allowing you to go even further with how you customize the weapons in the game as evidenced by this new video from the game.


Personally I like the ability to customize the weapons in the game more than the random drops that you get in Borderlands.  Sure there's probably not a gun that sets people on fire in Army of Two:The 40th Day but the system allows you to get more comfortable with your weapons rather than having to constantly compare what you have to what you just picked up.  What do you think?  Would you rather have random drops or the ability to customize your weapons?  Let us know in the comments.

I'm in the midst of some zombie killing in Left 4 Dead II but perhaps we're going to get some more content in the not too distant future. In the Dark Carnival campaign, there are some references to the band Midnight Riders and wouldn't you know it, a teaser site for the group is already up. Now, not much is known but seeing as there are four members, how cool would it be to play a short Crash Course like campaign of these four making their escape from the zombie hordes with all new weapons?

Looks like Francis has some folks he can relate to.

The first video to be released for Things on Wheels – an upcoming racing game by Focus Interactive for XBLA and being affectionately called ToW – is now available just a few inches below.
