DLC for Both Xbox 360 and PS3

EA has told Gamecyte that the extra content planned for Mirror’s Edge will come to both Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles — once believed to be PS3 exclusive — around the time the PC version ships in January next year.

We thought it’d be only fair that PS3 got this one since the Xbox 360 will be getting its share of exclusive content with Fallout 3, Tomb Raider, and GTA IV. Oh, well…can’t win them all, err, any.

In the meantime, check out our review of Mirror’s Edge.

While the list of AAA games this week seems a little light, publishers are still releasing some great titles — most away from the FPS norm. Wii gamers get the “for the hardcore” Animal Crossing: City Folk and Tales of Symphonia remake.

Mirror’s Edge and CoD: World at War are missing reviews, but from what we’ve seen they should be a safe buy. PC gets the bound-to-be-huge Wrath of the Lich King expansion and Banjo is back on the 360! Our pick? My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr, of course. *cough, cough*

Eidos Interactive has released more screenshots of Tomb Raider: Underworld, does Lara improve with age?

She’s back.  Coming to NA on November 18th and EU on November 21st. If you’ve played a Tomb Raider game before you know that the voluptuous Lara Croft is all the talk.  This is Lara’s eighth release and as she gets better looking, we gamers realize that maybe Miss Croft is too hot to play with.  Ok, that sounded weird.  Looking very much like Uncharted, TR:Underworld takes place in another Spanish country, this time in Mexico… ok, ok she also goes to Thailand… sue me.  Check out the screens below and tell me if she’s got better with age.

Thanks to Atari for picking up the Ghostbuster franchise, 2 new screens were leaked to the press.

While many of us thought Ghostbusters: The Video game was lost due to the release of Activision-Blizzard, Atari saw the potential. It seems that many developers only invest in games that have sequel potential ie. Guitar Hero etc. Coming to PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, DS and PS2 in 2009, the release will coincide with the Ghostbusters movie’s 25th Anniversary.

“Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari’s global line-up in 2009,” said company president Phil Harrison in a prepared statement today. “The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans.”

There’s a reason why my avatar is based on my looks in The Godfather game, the sheer resemblance is uncanny.  I’ve tried customizing myself in every game with the available feature, but most times my skin color or angry look cannot be replicated.  Then came The Godfather, and poof… my avatar personality was born.  I’m a huge follower of The Godfather, and the video below has my attention for The Godfather II.  Looking to tackle Havana is another aspect of the game that I’m greatly looking forward to.

Looking sweet on any 1080p TV, SFII HD comes to Xbox 360 and PS3 this November.

We got some screens that will make you salivate all over your controller.  OK, not really but at least they’ll have you saying “Wow, that’s a spicy meatball!”  Your favorite Street Fighters characters will all be available totalling up to 17 playable fighters.  I’ve rarely strayed away from Ryu (pronounced Rye-you) and Ken.  I can honestly say that I’ve used Zangief maybe 3 times in my life, I’ll bet he looks great in 1080p but he still really sucks!
