Mass Effect 3's "Resurgence" multiplayer DLC has been announced... and it's free. Resurgence will be available for download on April 10, 2012.

Owners of Mass Effect 3 can download the first multiplayer expansion and add new unlockable content: deadly weapons, new consumables, and new characters for each class in multiplayer, including the Asari Justicar, Batarian, Geth, and Krogan Battlemaster. But rather than listen to me talk about it, why not check out the video of Mass Effect 3's Resurgence in action?

Square Enix Japan has announced the next Final Fantasy 13-2 DLC pack will feature an Assassin's Creed outfit for Noel and a Gilgamesh Coliseum battle. Noel's becoming quite the fashion icon. First there was the Mass Effect 3 DLC, then he became a Prada model, now he's an Assassin? I can't even wait to see what's next for the most well-dressed character in Final Fantasy 13-2. Serah will also be getting a new costume, from "Exposure and Defense" and Koyo Koyo, a character from previous Final Fantasy games, will also be a Coliseum boss.

A newly released DLC pack for Battlefield 3 has some gamers crying foul. "The Ultimate Shortcut Bundle" costs 3200 Microsoft Points, and unlocks almost everything in the game that you'd otherwise have to play to earn.

In American money, that's $40.00, about the price of the game itself, new, on Amazon.

It's interesting how game makers always say that their DLC plans won't hurt gamers who "put in the hours," but it's hard to see this in any other way. I mean, who wants to play BF 3 for 16 days straight only to meet some noob with money to burn sporting your same weapons?

Capcom has been under scrutiny for their policy on DLC in recent months. Numerous complaints have been filled with the Better Business Bureau against Capcom because of their practice of using disc-locked content on copies of Street Fighter X Tekken for consoles. Twelve fighters are locked until the Vita version of SFxT is released this fall. Once the characters are unlocked, gamers will have to buy them for an expected $20.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer DLC may have been leaked. An image, allegedly taken from the Mass Effect 3 developer server, popped up on reddit showing new playable character classes and was then posted to Facebook. I'm hardly a photoshop expert so I can't comment on the image. I am a DLC expert and I think it's pretty obvious that ME3's multiplayer DLC will offer more character classes.

It's been revealed that the next piece of DLC for Final Fantasy 13-2 will feature Jihl Nabaat, one of the villains from Final Fantasy 13. The DLC is rumored to be dropping on March 13, but so far Square Enix hasn't officially confirmed the release date.

The Jihl Nabaat DLC will most likely feature the character as an end-game Coliseum battle, where players will have to defeat her in combat in order to have her join your party. Once we have more info on the DLC we'll be able to tell you all about it.

For now, what do you think of Jihl potentially making her way in to the FF13-2 world? Will you shell out a few bucks to play as her?

The first DLC pack for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is on its way in the form of The Legend of Dead Kel. The pack will be available on March 20 and it takes place on the island of Gallows End, a new area for players to explore and call home. We got to test out the pack, and our own Adam "Swashbuckler" Rosenberg had this to say about it:

"Garrick tells me that he wants to hire a cutthroat mercenary to cut the throat of one Dead Kel, a legendary pirate who is also referred to in some circles as the Ghost of the Frostbreak or the Blood-Red Sail. The actual pirate named Kel was killed centuries ago, but Dead Kel continues to haunt the waters of the Frostbreak Sea--and the merchant ships that pass through--with his crew of Hanged Men, as they're called. Garrick tells me that I'm to meet with Captain Rast Brattigan at the city's nearby docks. He tells me that she's known for being "the worst sailor alive," but she's also the only one who's crazy enough to embark on this foolhardy expedition."

Head on over to the rest of our Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: The Legend of Dead Kel preview to learn more about this epic DLC pack.

The loveable Sazh is now available in Final Fantasy 13-2 as DLC and if you like the wacky daddy then you're going to love the trailer Square Enix put out for the content entitled Sazh: Heads or Tails?



The DLC introduces two new games to the Serendipity Casino, Chronobind and Serendipity Poker, and it will also bring back the baby Chocobo that I loved so much from Final Fantasy 13. Not only that, but if you finish the main storyline in the game, you'll also be able to add Sazh to your party.

Are you going to be picking up the Sazh: Heads or Tails DLC for FF13-2?
