EA officially confirms a new co-op mission for Army of Two: The 40th Day. The downloadable content pack is called Chapters of Deceit and is priced at $10 (800 Microsoft Points). Players can expect two new maps, as the two main characters Salem and Rios "stumble upon information that could lead to ending the invasion by Jonah and his 40th Day Initiative army. However, they quickly learn that everyone is out for themselves and to trust no one but their partner." Screenshots have arrived along with the news:

Here's another trailer for Creative Assembly's Napoleon: Total War, in which you'll discover more about the 2v2 multiplayer mode:

Warner Bros. announced that it has acquired of a majority stake in Rocksteady Studios, the creators of the critically and commercially successful action adventure, Batman Arkham Asylum.

"With the successful release of Batman: Arkham Asylum, a franchise that is a key focus for Warner Bros., Rocksteady has proven that they have the expertise to create hit games with mass appeal," said Martin Tremblay, president, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "We are currently working with Rocksteady on the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum and look forward to bringing the continuation of the franchise to fans worldwide."

"We are delighted to be deepening our relationship with London-based Rocksteady Studios, one of the UK's most respected games developers and 2009 recipient of the VGA's coveted 'studio of the year' award," said Josh Berger, president and managing director, Warner Bros. UK. "Rocksteady clearly has the talent, expertise and technology to make great games and we are fortunate to continue working closely with them as we further expand our games portfolio."

Remember, Batman Arkham Asylum is already on the way - a debut trailer for the game had been released last year.

If you happen to live in Abu Dhabi, Dubai or any of the cities in the United Arab Emirates, you may not be able to get your hands on a copy of the cinema-style PS3 adventure, Heavy Rain. This is the second game to be restricted this year in that particular corner of the globe.

According to a report from ME Gamers, the decision was made by UAE's National Media Council, supposedly due to one the game's seduction scenes.

Darksiders was also banned in the region, with the explanation that the game contradicts UAE's customs and traditions. Understandably, EA chose not to release Dante's Inferno on that market.

The game is set to launch today in the US and tomorrow across Europe.

It's been getting pretty good reviews too.

I bought some new clothes the other day. Now I know it may not make any difference to you guys, but it sure as hell is important to me. Spring and summer is almost upon us and I won't emerge from the Caves of Winter Nerdness & Gaming looking like something the cat just dragged in... and then dragged out again. Here's the thing: you have to look at least reasonably fashionable because otherwise you'll never get noticed by girls, women or men for that matter (the last one's not that important unless you're the total balls-on gay type). It's always been an obvious fact, nothing more. People care what you look like. You only have to decide whether you care if they care. It's also a question of mere decency and decorum. If you have absolutely no ambition of becoming a hobo, why look like one?

So, new clothes. All set. Let's hit the town...

The sad thing is, chicks still ignore me. Man, what does it take seriously??
