Called Exterminatus, Space Marine's huge DLC installment won't cost you anything.
Space Marine was released last month without any form of cooperative play available. It may have seemed like an oversight at the time, but THQ promised that it would be adding it shortly after launched. Today they keep their promise and it won’t cost you a dime.
Blizzard recently announced the latest expansion for World of Warcraft. We break down what's new so you don't have to.
There was a whole mess of announcements made at this past weekend’s BlizzCon. There was the revelation of a sweet collector’s edition of Diablo III and the news that it’s possible to get a digital copy of the game for free, but the biggest deal was the official revelation of World of Warcraft’s 4th expansion: Mists of Pandaria.
A mix of improvements from the first elevate the mechanics, but changes to the core gameplay harm the overall experience.
I know I'm going to be in the overwhelming minority here, but I have seriously mixed feelings about Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. On one hand, the game drastically improved upon some of my gameplay complaints from the original title, on the other, it went ahead and created a whole new set of problems. Lenghty fetch quests and far too many required mini-games made the game feel drawn out and the overwhelming combat drastically overshadowed the platforming. This hurt an important core element of the game leaving it unbalanced, unfocused, and devoid of an element of character it once had before.

The commando returns for the sequel to the remake of the classic NES platformer.
The second iteration of Capcom’s Bionic Commando reboot once again takes us to the brutally difficult world of old-school NES platformers. Gameplay improvements and an awesome soundtrack await returning players as they precariously swing the commando from level to level. Technical issues keep the game from feeling too polished as a whole, but fans of the original may be pleasantly surprised as they play through the game’s many environments.
Available September 13 for the Wii.
