The first batch of extra content will be free.
Capcom is extending the life of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City by releasing DLC for the game tomorrow on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The content will include seven new missions and four new versus mode maps. All of the content will be free.
Yet another bizarre and engaging experience from the minds that created No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned.
As with anything that comes out of Grasshopper Manufacture, Diabolical Pitch is an interesting specimen. Taking use of the Kinect, the title melds gesture-based gameplay and your traditional gallery shooter, and tops it off with a bizarre story and setting. Rather than a shot out of the park, the spotty controls make this baseball-themed game a shallow shot to the outfield.
"Weak TV sales and swelling losses" are to blame.
Sony Corporation is expected to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide over the next year due to "weak TV sales and swelling losses." This doesn't come as a big surprise as the company posted big losses for the last quarter of 2011 and the PlayStation Vita hasn't been selling as well as originally hoped. Other endeavors, like 3D technology and the PlayStation Move have both been disappointing for the company, failing to the gain the traction necessary to bring the company out of debt.
A select few will go nuts for this game that most people will hate.
Armored Core V has its faults. Whether it's the limp story mode or the user-hating menu system, its design is sure to scare away most. However, gamers who love to decipher complex systems and are willing to invest the time will find an experience that's incredibly engaging. Armored Core V doesn’t shy away from its inscrutable nature, which will drive the compulsive number-crunching freaks to get that much more obsessed with figuring it all out. Throw in the blitzkrieg, large scale mech battles, and you have a mixture that appeals to a very specific type of gamer – and they are going to need a professional intervention to pull them away.
Get your hands on Two New Maps and New Classes on April 10th.

Square Enix previously announced both Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] for the US, but failed to provide a release date for either.

For those who can't wait, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy will be playable at PAX East at the Square Enix booth (#850).
Killer is Dead will grace the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013.
With the upcoming release of Lollipop Chainsaw, and the recent release of Sine Mora and Diabolical Pitch, Grasshopper Manufacture has been a busy studio. Their unique blend of camp and the bizarre has been turning heads for years now and their newest title appears to be no exception. Killer is Dead is Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture's latest work, and though the name seems to imply it, the title bears no relation to their past work, Killer 7.
Free DLC to provide closure to the controversial ending.
