Yesterday, a second content pack was released for Transformers: War for Cybertron. Today, you can see some screen shots of that pack.

This new downloadable content pack includes a staggering 5 maps and 2 additional characters. As you can see from the pictures, this is no DLC to laugh at or pass up.

Normally we don’t mention track packs for games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero. These track packs are released so frequently that it’s too much of a hassle to cover every track pack as they’re released. However, today two packs came out that I can’t help but mention. Not just for their contrast in music but for the games they’re being release on. 

Today, hopeful RTS players can now experience R.U.S.E. on the Xbox 360. This new demo will feature a similar experience to that of the PC beta and demo from a few months ago and PS3 demo which launched last week.

If you’re interested in R.U.S.E. on the Xbox 360 you can pick up in stores today. However, if you’re still on the fence, try it out before running out to pick it up.

It’s another big day for Tranformers: War for Cybertron fans. Today marks the release of the second DLC pack for the hit third person shooter.

This new DLC for WFC is pretty similar to the previous DCL pack. Housing 2 new characters Zeta Prime and Dead End, along with 5 new maps, this pack is a must have for both fans of the entire Tranformers universe and those that are simply fans of the game.

You can find the new Transformers: War for Cybertron DLC Map and Character Pack 2 on the PS3 for $9.99 or Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points. For a full description of the pack and full press release follow the link. Two Worlds II Preview

The changes to World of Warcraft in the upcoming expansion Cataclysm are huge. The entire landscape of Azeroth has been totally reimaged. Now it’s time to take a tour of some of these areas.

Today we’ll take a tour of Darkshore, an area of Azeroth forever changed by the events of Cataclysm. From the no fallen town of Aberdeen to the entrance of Ashenvale, Darkshore is now mixture of beautiful scenery and the frightening realization that the World of Warcraft will never be the same.

Have you been wondering if StarCraft II if worth playing? Well it seems 3 million people can't be wrong. StarCraft II has everything an RTS fan, new or old would want or need in a game. And now the proof is in the sales reports. Today, Blizzard announced that in its first month Blizzard announced that StarCraft II has sold 3 million units in its first month of release.

"We appreciate all the enthusiasm that players around the world have shown for StarCraft II," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "It was important to us to deliver an overall gameplay experience that was accessible, balanced, and fun, and it’s been gratifying to see how strongly the global community has already embraced the game."

Not bad for game we've been waiting for the last ten years. Hopefully the next iteration does as well. I'm not sure it's going to be a problem.

When you pick up the Xbox 360 controller, you might notice a useless disc to lower right of the left analog stick. When it's a D-pad, and most gamers and developers have forgotten about it. This is why Microsoft went to great lengths to rework the controller all over again.

This time around, MS took a look at the D-pad and reworked it into a usable part of the controller. Now with a simple twist of the D-pad, you can turn it from a disc to a semi-true D-pad. Also the buttons have been repainted with a gray scale color scheme.

This isn't a perfect solution but it's the best you're going to find. That is until you hear about the price. For a new color scheme, reworked d-pad and semi-new controller design along with a change-and-play pack you'll have to turn over a cool $64.99. It may sound a little steep but if you're looking for a new controller this is the one to buy.

Look for the new Xbox 360 controller on November 9, 2010 for $64.99.

Worms recently made a big splash on Steam. Now with the game doing so well, you might think about running out to Target and pick up a copy of the game. The only problem is the game isn't available in stores. This is a digital only game and this is becoming the norm for most upcoming PC titles. In fact the makers of Worms, Team 17 made it clear that this is going to be their continued intend for the future of their games.

In an article with MCV, Team 17 co-founder Martyn Brown explained, “Digital distribution has allowed easy and direct access to the game for millions of customers at a time when it has become difficult to get attention at retail.”

As the world continues down the digital path, more and more companies will lean towards a digital only sales model. This could be a good thing for gamers but it is a double edged sword. Third party publishers are a pain in the ass for just about every game designer. They poke around at bad times for mostly bad reason but in the end they put up the money for most games so again there are always two sides to every story. Fortunately for this one it looks like Team 17 is happy with their decision and ready to go solo.
