Gran Turismo 5 is a game that is constantly evolving, that's what creator Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi said after the release of the game. Well, a huge update patch is on the way called "Spec 2.0" with a DLC coming a week after.
Kazunori Yamauchi announced via Twitter about the update. No information yet about what the update or the DLC is all about, but it's good to know that they are still working to improve Gran Turismo 5. The DLC might include more cars, but then again with their 1k car roster, doesn't make much sense.

They have went a long way though thanks to constant patches of the game like online events and online dealerships, and other improvements. Keep it coming Polyphony Digital, because you have a lot of gamers playing this game for years to come.

EA recently held a press conference in Vegas we're Klei Entertainment, the makers of Shank said they were going to announce a new ip, and surprisingly enough, it was Shank 2, the sequel to the 2D side-scrolling with a unique comic book look.

With the success of Shank, and now currently collaborating with EA partners, they have been working on Shank 2 for a year now. Aside from improving visuals, combat, etc for the sequel, they will also include an arcade-style co-op survival mode. Add a friend and survive as long as you came against hordes of enemies.

Dead Nation gets a new DLC - Road of Devastation
Thanks to Sony's Welcome back package that serves as a sorry to the PSN outage back in May, I was able to get my hands of Dead Nation. It was a great co-op game and it certainly put back a smile in my face after nearly a month of no online service. Now I can consider running Dead Nation again with the announcement of a DLC called Road of Devastation.
Dead Nation was released back in 2010, and with Dead Nation now owned by a lot of PSN users, I guess releasing DLC makes sense. When it gets released, it will only cost you $3.99 which is not a bad deal with the added weapons and enviroments to the game. You're a soldier waking up in a lab that was trying to make you the ultimate soldier. You are given choices which will lead you to what kind of environments you'll be in and enemies you'll face.
Dead Nation was loads of fun, and with a $3.99 price point, it seems worth the purchase. You can never get enough killing zombies if you ask me.
