An announcement is planned for July 8th, which is this Wednesday, regarding the RTS sequel and shall give fans "some essential" development details on the game.

Whatever this "important announcement" is it can't be bad right? Recently developer Blueside unleashed a wave of new screens for the game, each showing delicious combat.

Developer Techland will be putting out three pieces of downloadable content for Call of Juarez fans, with the first two set as map packs for multiplayer.

The third piece however is for singleplayer, and presumably wedges itself into the 'Extra Missions' section on the main menu. The DLC will be for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions.

Valve is affirming that all that hardship on mods for the original game will be a-okay in Left 4 Dead 2, but understandably would "work better" once recompiled.

Chet Faliszek of Valve gave the news and talked up the positive response from the mod community, contrary to "disingenuous" boycotter comments. It's out this November 17th.

Doug Lombardi of Valve has said the E3 format is partly to blame for the "confusion" whipped up after the Left 4 Dead 2 news, but mostly themselves.

L4D2 "doesn't mean" the original gets orphaned, that was something they should have said at the time admits Valve. E3 is about "new titles," it's "not really a venue" for DLC or mod tools.

An announcement is to fly from LucasArts today and soar like an eagle, well it better had after they've been mercilessly teasing fans over the weekend with tweets.

Frankly it's tough "not to start yelling about it!" twittered the official LucasArts mouth piece, offering just one hint: it'll be a treat for "old school fans." Naturally the net has gone insane.

While the Double Fine man, Tim Schafer, was having a live chinwag he said something rather teasing like they're focused on console "right now."

The dev team are "really focused" on Brutal Legend for Xbox 360 and PS3, or at least for the moment. Though he does add you'll see it was "meant to be on a console," but PC has pads...

According to reports, a new Resident Evil movie will be ready for cinemas by September 17th, 2010. A studio insider has supposedly confirmed the date.

It's called 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' and will be playing tourist in Tokyo and Alaska, with director Paul W.S. Anderson believed to be behind the script. Will Milla Jovovich return?

505 Games announced today that Guilty Gear 2: Overture will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 on 4th September 2009. Guilty Gear 2 will take fans in a bold new direction, borrowing elements from genres outside of the traditional one-on-one fighting action for which Guilty Gear has become famed.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture developer Arc System Works has blended action and real time strategy for their latest instalment, and for the first time have introduced 3D graphics the series. As well as taking control of their chosen character, players will command legions of loyal followers to crush all in their path. Battles are won and lost by destruction of opponents' strongholds, known as "Masterghosts" and by successfully defending one's own from enemy attack.

Alex Ward of Criterion has twittered a teasing line that could indicate they're bringing some old skool back to the franchise, but a later comment casts almost certain doubt.

He provides his twitter fans with "a return to the original 3DO version" of Need For Speed, but he adds it lists what he's playing and "not making fellas.." Be careful how you twitter I guess.

Kaufman Bros. Equity Research's Todd Mitchell has said he believes that Rockstar Games has "two more pieces" of content for Grand Theft Auto IV, "although formats are unsure."

The analyst also expects a GTA V in 2011's fiscal, with the chance of more PS2 GTA as PSP titles "have been repositioned" on PS2 in the past. Take-Two becoming "a proper company".
