Hasta La Gadget!

The first of two downloadable expansions for the game BioShock Infinite has been unveiled today for download. This download goes by the name Clash in the Clouds and is what the creators of this game call an “action-focused” expansion, it also arriving as the smaller of the two expansions that’ve been planned for this title. This game’s developers at Irrational Games have also announced the second expansion: Burial at Sea.

This first expansion builds on the action-oriented angles in the game whose original chapter was released all the way back in 2007. With BioShock Infinite, users were asked to join a futuristic (yet retro) steampunk-like adventure complete with gadgets & and gizmos, monsters, and magic. And lots of fantasy landscapes and environments to explore.

This upgrade for the game appears for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC today, coming in at $5 USD. Clash in the Clouds brings new abilities – mostly magic – and you back down to Rapture, starting in on “the eve of the underwater city’s fall from grace.”

Explore the city when it was at the height of its beauty, meet some old “friends,” and make some new ones, all through the eyes of Booker DeWitt. Why are Booker and Elizabeth in Rapture? What was the city like before everything fell to pieces? The answers to these questions and more will be found in BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea — Episode 1.

This expansion was build “almost entirely from scratch” using the BioShock Infinite engine and modifies the gameplay format from the base game. This modification tweaks the combat experience to be a mix between the original BioShock and the newer BioShock Infinite – the best of both worlds.

Add this one to your ever-growing book of video game enthusiasts against downloadable additions (DLC) to video games connected to the internet: Trey Parker says no to the whole mess for The Stick of Truth. The South Park-themed game will be released by the end of this year – right in time for the holiday season – but it’ll be cut to a standard size where its creators originally slated it to have so much content it would have taken many, many years to complete.

Speaking up at a Comic Con panel was none other than one of the two originators of the South Park universe, Parker dropping the F-bomb on the idea that they’d take the “extra content” they’d created for the game and release it as DLC. The plan instead, it’s readily understood, is that the content will be filtered into the South Park television series. The television series meanwhile has no end in sight – even if it has to be a web-based series some time in the future.

NOTE: Just in case you’re not up-to-date on the THQ bankruptcy situation – The Stick of Truth was picked up by Ubisoft. For the save!

What you’ve got with The Stick of Truth is a game that Parker reminded the audience this week is heavily inspired by the likes of The Legend of Zelda and recent epic-scale releases like Skyrim. That’s not to say it’ll be released with next-level eye-searing graphics.

On the contrary.

South Park: The Stick of Truth will continue the construction paper cut-out legacy that is the origins of the series. You’ll see some fancy “3D” graphics as appear here and there throughout the television series, but for the most part you’ll be staying quite flat. Make it go!

When it comes to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, you know that plenty about the game has been written about it so far, and earlier this year, we did talk about how Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on the PS3 would be on the receiving end of exclusive VR missions, which is a boon for those who are gaming on the PS3 platform. Well, here are additional nuggets of information on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, where it is tipped to pick up additional downloadable content later in May (May 14th, to be exact), which will make LQ-84i playable in the side story.

After all, who does not want to step into the shoes, er, paws of a robot ninja dog, right? Not only that, the LQ-84i is certainly a crowd puller, especially among the ladies, which might very well be one of the incentives for the existence of the next Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC. Konami claims that this new add-on will boast of “multiple hours” of new gameplay, where it will revolve around Bladewolf and its origins. With a DLC name like “Blade Wolf,” ‘nuff said.

It was sometime in the middle of this month when the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Uprising map pack was made available to faithful peons of the Xbox 360, leaving owners of the Sony PS3 scratching their heads in dismay, wondering when will they be able to enjoy what the Xbox 360 owners were ranting about over the past 9 days or so. Well, all of your waiting is not in vain as we have received word that when May 16th rolls around the corner, PS3 as well as Windows PC players will be able to enjoy the Uprising map pack, too.

Uprising is said to come with a quartet of new multiplayer maps, in addition to “Mob of the Dead,” a bone-chilling new Zombies experience which would see players being assigned to the notorious prison island of Alcatraz. You will find some of Hollywood’s most iconic actors round out the cast of Prohibition-era mobsters, ranging from Ray Liotta to Michael Madsen, Chazz Palminteri, and Joe Pantoliano, in an effort to ensure no expense is spared in bringing this horrifying adventure to life. Have you wet your pants already?
