Activision and Xbox Live reaffirmed their BFF status yesterday by confirming a 360-exclusive release date for the first downloadable batch of new "Call of Duty: Black Ops" multiplayer maps. Dubbed "First Strike," the DLC will come out for Microsoft's console on February 1, 2011, with subsequent launches for the PlayStation 3 and PC later (presumably a month after, based on the way these things worked for "Modern Warfare 2"). The 1,200-MS point ($15) pack will come with Cold War and zombie venues, and will build outward from the core game, as well as upward.

"Demon's Souls" inspired the "Witcher 2" devs to up the difficulty level of their "Insane" mode, and it turns out the game has also inspired its own makers to increase the lifespan of their servers. Although Atlas had previously committed to supporting, powering and maintaining their machines until next March, they extended that promise today to cover the next ten months, making October 6, 2011 the earliest potential shutdown date now.

"The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" aims to bring an unusually high level of difficulty along for its players when the game launches next May.

Blizzard's top secret non-"World of Warcraft" MMO is still a secret, and so is a project called "Titan" that showed up in a purportedly leaked product slate from the company.

After pushing out a massive stack of "Fable 3" fixes, Lionhead Studios has decided that it's time to move on and release some more DLC for the game out into the world. November saw the arrival of some new quests, but this new round will take a cue from "World of Warcraft" and give you a new selection of animal companians to choose from for 240 MS points.

Yesterday we listed the best games of 2010, but today we wanted to shine a light on some titles that came out of nowhere and ended up being way better than anyone could have guessed.
