THQ has released a trailer for Marvel Super Hero Squad, showcasing this upcoming video game based on the Marvel Super Hero Squad franchise scheduled to hit store shelves this October.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is one of those life altering experiences for me.. a game where you can freely roam the landscape of a sandbox with all intent and encouragement to maim and destroy property and people. Sure, it sounds a bit aggressive but after playing Red Faction it makes you wonder why more games don’t treat their world so destructively.. I mean, sure there is a bold story of a man revenging himself upon the oppressive government that liberated the people from their original evil corporate overlords, but this is a game that is all about the booms.. like a Michael Bay video game that doesn’t suck (Yes I’m looking at you Transformers!)
Well, if you’re like me and you need even more to do on the martian sandbox then THQ has some good news.. well actually it wants more money but come on.. it’ll make you feel better! Today the publisher revealed that it has three new doses of Red Faction goodness on the way via download.
The press release only really talks about the first pack, which is called Demons of the Badlands and will sell for 800 Microsoft points/ $9.99 via PlayStation Store. The new content will include a new single-player mission arc that expands the game into a new Martian environment. The download is planned for release August 13th, 2009 so that gives us all time to sharpen up our best “Ahnold” impersonation and re-watch Total Recall a few times for good measure.
Oh and since the Total Recall game was utter drek.. you can just act like Red Faction is really a continuation and go looking for Kuato yourself.
Looking for some designer threads for your thugs in Saints Row 2?
Well THQ hears your cries of fashion abandonment and is offering a new Unkut branded download pack for players to further customize their hooligans as the battle for supremacy of Saints Row continues. The add on also includes new tattoo options to further expand the ink options.
While GTA IV gets most of the press, I have to say I really enjoyed the low-brow humor and satire in Saints Row 2 more. The whole driving through the construction zone in a stolen waste disposal truck spraying down a developers half-built homes with feces is still one of the most fun stupid side missions I’ve ever played in a sandbox game.
The Unkut pack is now available for free on Xbox Live and Sony’s PSN store. You can find more images of the Unkut branded clothing at the Saints Row 2 community website.

THQ and Relic Entertainment delivered quite a different Dawn of War experience with the recently released sequel. Not every fan of the RTS series likely found the changes made good ones but one thing you really can’t knock the game for is its outstanding and moving soundtrack. If, like me, you’re a big fan or collector of video game music then you should check out the Dawn of War II soundtrack on Steam. (Scroll down on the game’s Steam homepage to find the soundtrack download link – its a 193MB .rar file)
The collection of 20 songs is available through the download service for free. The score was composed by Relic’s in house musical maestro Doyle W. Donehoo and Audio Lead Jason Ross with contributions by Noah Stacey and Noobie Noobinson. (Yes, I’m pretty sure that last artist is using a pseudonym).
If you enjoy the score or want to find out more about Donehoo’s process and inspiration you can even jump over to Game-OST for their interview. Thanks to Nobuooo for the heads up.
Gamers who are current subscribers to GameTap either for the free service or subscription service are in for a treat this week with American McGee’s Grimm Volume 2, Episode 16 and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War Gold. The freebie this week is none other than King of Fighters 2003.
Grimm Volume 2, Episode 16: A Christmas Carol: We all know the tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge and how awful, nasty and mean-spirited he was until death and some ghosts made him change his ways. But how would this tale by Dickens have ended if our little vile troll Grimm has his way? Not as nice, I can tell you that much!
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War Gold Edition: This RTS from Relic and THQ contains the amplified Game of the Year version Dawn of War, as well as its first expansion pack, Dawn of War: Winter Assault, which introduced a new faction, a new campaign, and gameplay tweaks that assure the most balanced and fun Dawn of War experience possible.
King of Fighters 2003: The tournament is back, this time hosted by an unknown patron. But the tournament has sinister underpinnings, and someone, or something, once again seeks the power of the demon Orochi. There’s only one way to bring an end to this sinister plot, and it involves a lot of butt-kicking.
King of Fighters 2003 will be free to play for a week and Grimm: A Christmas Carol will be free to play until Wednesday, December 31 for some nasty Christmas fun. If you have not signed up for GameTap yet, you can do so by visiting the official website where you can look through their many many subscription games and 145 free ones.
Next week: Overlord will be the free offering, so get your mind set for some deliciously evil fun with your little minions.

Relic and THQ have released a new trailer for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 2 which unveils the game’s all new multiplayer modes. So far, what we know about the multiplayer aspect is that all four races are playable, you get to pick your leader (Apothecary, Force Commander, and Tech-Marine at this point), heroes can level to 10 max and the more points you earn the more gear you get, there will be a three versus three Team Battle mode with co-op features, and strategic points include Power, Requisition, and Victory with resource gathering being an important part of the gameplay.
Relic has been a bit teasing regarding multiplayer details for their RTS, and while they have dished a bit about it–they are keeping a lot of it under wraps for the time being. So if what we do know is any indication of how big and fabulous the multiplayer will be, it looks like gamers are in for a fun ride come release. The trailer posted above should also give you a major idea of what to expect, and it looks like one chaotic battlefield full of death and glory to me.
