Fallout: New Vegas has three DLC on the way

Bethesda has revealed three downloadable content for New Vegas, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. The release of the first one is actually close by, Honest Hearts is first up and will be out on May 17. 

This makes Fallout: New Vegas having a total of 4 DLC's. Blood Money was the first downloadable content released on December 21, 2010 on the Xbox 360 first. A few months later on February 22, 2011, it was released for PC and PS3 owners. Xbox 360 had that exclusive early release but for the next three DLC, they will all be released simultaneously just like the old days.

Available on May 17, Honest Hearts takes you on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah's Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when your caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As you try to find a way back to the Mojave, you become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions you make will determine the fate of Zion.

In Old World Blues, releasing in June,you will discover how some of the Mojave’s mutated monsters came to be when you unwittingly become a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. You’ll need to scour the Pre-War research centers of the Big Empty in search of technology to turn the tables on your kidnappers or join forces with them against an even greater threat.

Lonesome Road, available in July, brings the courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job –a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.

It will cost us around 800 Microsoft points or $9.99 for each pack of downloadable content. That's $30 worth of new content and I'm tempted to get the first DLC in preparation for the next batch. Looks like I'll be revisiting New Vegas soon. Anybody excited??

Motivation

I'm saving up for a PS3 but I don't have a lot of time to play games nor do I have an HDTV to fully appreciate the beauty of todays graphic power houses. Money doesn't grow on trees you know. From the awesome Borderlands song 'Ain't no rest for the wicked', "I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, ain't nothing in this world for free". So you can tell I'm in a bit of a slump. Will getting a PS3 be really worth it? I know you might say "PS3 is stoopid! PSN is down! Go 360!" but thats not really the argument here.

I've been craving for a PS3 for a long time now but I only started saving for one around March and as time goes on, my hype for it decreases day by day. You may ask "Why the slump where there are so many awesome games out right now", I know all those awesome games are out there but its just that feeling when you're just not in the mood.

I'm just ranting now but the real reason I'm writing this is because I was reminded about a game that I've had my eye on even before its North American release. Instead of just telling you, I'll just show you.

Thank you Shinji Mikami. Thank you Hideki Kamiya. And thank you Platinum Games. You sure know how to motivate a guy. :D

Mortal Kombat Legacy Episode 4 - Kitana & Mileena (Part 1)

Episode 4 is here and this time we see more characters from the MK universe such as Baraka, Shao Khan, Jared, Sindel, Kitana and Mileena. The stories of some of these characters may not follow the original, I find the new changes really well done. I wish this was a full on series instead of just a web series cause 9 minutes is not enough for the awesome this series is over flowing with.

This episode is filled with some segments of animation which were not present in the first 3 episodes. Hey, at least there is more gore in the animated parts.

Beautiful, athletic, and trained as highly skilled assassins, Kitana and Mileena have grown up thinking that they are sisters. Shao Kahn, Emperor of the Outworld, has tricked Shang Tsung into becoming his servant for Mortal Kombat by making him clone Mileena as a Tarkatan clone of Kitana, out of Shao Kahn's fear that Kitana wouldn't love him enough if she ever found out the truth about her Mother and Father.

Catherine gets a US release date plus reveals a deluxe edition

Gamers who are actually waiting for the US release of the game, good news. The game will be released on July 26 and you can pre-order the "Love is Over" Deluxe Edition. I've never seen a Deluxe Edition like this before and it's really for those BIG Catherine fans i guess.

The Deluxe Edition has a lot of 'interesting' goodies, like a collectible pizza box from "Stray Sheep Bar', a pair of polka dot "Vincent" boxers!?(WTF), a pillow case decorated with a very uh satisfying image of Catherine, and Vincent's empty heart T-shirt.

This has to be the weirdest Deluxe Edition I've ever heard but hey if your excited about whats inside good for you.

If you want more goodies go pre-order the standard or deluxe edition from any retailers and you'll receive a 36 page art book, and a bonus CD containing the game's soundtrack.

Sony Online Entertainment is Offline

Sony Online Entertainment said today it has temporarily turned off its servers after the company "discovered an issue" while investigating an intrusion into its system. It's unclear at this time if this incident is related to last month's intrusion of PlayStation Network.

"We had to temporarily take down SOE services during the night," a spokesperson said. "In the course of our investigation into the intrusion of our systems, we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern. We will provide an update later today."

No timetable was provided for when the services will be turned back on so all you DC Universe Online PC players out there are out of luck.
