Hitting Xbox Live on February 17

Sure, they missed the rumored November launch for the Grand Theft Auto IV DLC, but Rockstar has put an end to that web of lies today. The first downloadable pack for the game, entitled “Lost and Damned,” will be out on February 17, 2009 (Hey, same day as Street Fighter IV!).

The developer sent out a press release with a few screenshots (one of which you can see above) and will revolve around a new character and story thread. Interesting to see them expand on the universe a bit more through a new set of eyes. We’ll see how it pans out when the first of two exclusive, 360 episodes hits next year.

Kotaku reports, according to rumblings at Comic Con, that there might be another game set in the Jet Set Radio universe coming for Nintendo’s Wii. The rumor comes from Sega registering a new “Jet Grind Radio” trademark and points to a possible new iteration of the game.

If you never got a chance to enjoy the brilliance of the original Jet Set Radio, Jet Grind Radio in the States, here’s a clip of what you missed:

This writer didn’t even know there was a GBA version, so he’ll be scouring the interwebs for a copy of the game for a bit…

Superhero fashion emergencies seem to be a common themes these days. As much as we love superheroes at Kezins.com, their outfits do seem to gay up the universe quite a bit. The following video is probably one of the best I have seen in some time. The scene with Skeletor singing makes it all worth it…
