'Battlefield 3' DLC Coming To PlayStation 3 One Week Early

This fall, two military-shooter juggernauts will face off for your – or your awesome grandma's – holiday dollars. Both Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and EA's "Battlefield 3" are worthy contenders, but in the end, one title will likely draw the most sales. Fans of the genre are well aware that Microsoft have paid, we assume, quite handsomely for the right to timed exclusives in regards to ever-popular "Call of Duty" downloadable-content. PlayStation 3 and PC players have waited a month longer to receive the same map packs.

Well, EA is looking to stake their own console exclusivity claim, thanks to a deal with Sony. "Battlefield 3" downloadable-content will come to the PlayStation 3 one week before other platforms.

Notch and company at Mojang may have just released the 1.8 beta version of "Minecraft," but that doesn't mean they're taking some time off. No, instead, they're already hard at work on version 1.9, which features further "adventure" elements, as well as the usual tweaks. Even better, the game is getting a brand new mob, but this time around, they're not an enemy. You're getting a new frosty friend!

Just a few days after we learned about new gadgets and a new villain (Deadshot) for "Batman: Arkham City," we're finding out there's a bit of a delay in regards to the game's release. No, that's not a multiplatform delay, as it's only affecting PC players. The good news: the delay is actually rather short; the game will now release in November for PC. There was no exact date in the release, just a generic "November," so that take that however you wish.

Netflix Adding Video Games If You Join Qwikster

Posted 9/19/11 2:01 pm EST by in News

Netflix is going through an awkward stage. While the company is indisputably an entertainment industry juggernaut, recent changes to their service have spurred a mass subscriber exodus from hundreds of thousands of disgruntled users. Raising the cost of the DVD-by-mail service by 60-percent a month, while subsequently separating the streaming option, obviously turned out to be slightly more controversial than planned.

Last night, Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings issued an apology for the debacle while simultaneously announcing a new "by-mail" service that will deliver more than movies; Netflix are getting into the game rental business.

When you think of Avalanche Studios – the team behind the "Just Cause" franchise – you're probably thinking about lush environments, big weapons, vehicular stunts, and most importantly, explosions.
