01:54 Saints Row The Third to Get 40 Weeks of DLC, and Hoverbikes
THQ's Brian Farrell has revealed that Saints Row: The Third will be supported with enough downloadable content to spread over forty weeks. This is all part of the publisher's new get-rich-quick scheme, in which it pours a ton of post-launch content into new games. (Jim Sterling)

03:56 Gearbox Looking for Borderlands Feedback
Gearbox Software wants you to know that it's listening. No, not in a creepy "peeking through your window and listening to the songs you sing in the shower" kind of way. More like in the "We want to make Borderlands 2 the best game it can be" kind of way. (Nick Chester)

07:02 OMG is Steam Coming to Xbox 360??
The recent discovery of an "Xbox Support" section on Steam's forums has ignited rumors that Valve's popular digital service may be heading to the Xbox 360 in the near future. The section was buried deep in the boards, but Steam users are experts at digging stuff up. You'd think Valve would know that ... or maybe they did! (Jim Sterling)

08:07 First Batch of Deus Ex Human Revolution DLC Announced
We already knew ahead of time, but Square Enix has today officially announced the first Deus Ex: Human Revolution DLC, Missing Link. Set during the three days in which Adam Jensen disappeared off the grid, it details how he was tortured by Belltower forces and fought his way to freedom. (Jim Sterling)

10:05 Nintendo Reveals New DSiXL Color: Metallic Rose
After struggling with initial 3DS sales, Nintendo must think it's golden on that front after the price drop. The company announced last night that sales of handheld were up 260% following the price reduction to $169.99. (Nick Chester)

13:24 Warhammer 40k Space Marine Review
Warhammer 40,000, the tabletop game in which sci-fi depictions of fantasy creatures battle it out in a grim, perpetually violent future, lends itself well to the world of video games. In fact, one can be quite certain it's inspired a fair few. (Jim Sterling)

13:53 Bloodrayne Betrayal Review
Very few people can claim to love BloodRayne as a franchise, and there's a reason for that. The original titles were critically derided, the series of Uwe Boll movies are particularly grotesque, and the comic books are obscure as Hell. However, when someone's looking for fans of BloodRayne, they need look no further than myself. (Jim Sterling)

14:07 Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD Review
Two of the finest PlayStation 2 titles I know of were created by the same team. Both Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were crafted by the creative minds at Team Ico, a group that is slow to release games, but makes masterpieces each time. I hold both in such high regard that I've been known to force people to play them. One friend of mine in particular came to my city for a short visit not too long ago. I insisted that he play Shadow of the Colossus, and I monitored his progress throughout, clearly stating that he was forbidden from doing anything else until he completed what I consider to be one of my favorite games of all time. If he didn't love it, at least he knew better than to tell me otherwise. (Dale North)

14:30 Starfox 64 3D Review
The N64 is my least favorite console of all time, but I still feel the need to own one, mostly for Star Fox 64. It's easily one of my favorite games on the console, way ahead of Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. That's partly because those two titles were 3D adaptations (and in some ways, deformations) of already near-perfect 2D experiences I'd grown to love on the SNES. (Jonathan Holmes)
