The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band’s The Beatles will have exclusive DLC! One whole fucking song!!! The song is All You Need Is Love.

GRIN managed snag the licenses to make Wanted, and The Terminator video games, and got the privilege to create the new Bionic Commando for Capcom, and they quickly failed with all three. Failing in this expensive HD world has consequences, and today it is rumored they are cutting 160 jobs! That’s out of apparently 230. It’s a shame for the people now out of work, but they should have made better games, and probably less of them.

The second of Rockstar’s Xbox 360 exclusive DLC will be titled The Ballad Of Gay Tony. You will not be playing Gay Tony however, because Rockstar isn’t daring enough to have you play a gay lead character, you will play as his underling Luis Lopez. This release will not be limited to download only however, Rockstar will be releasing The Ballad Of Gay Tony on disc along with The Lost And The Damned DLC on the same disc for 39.99, and you will not need to own the horribly dissapointing Grand Theft Auto IV to play it!

Rockstar has made it official, Rockstar Vancouver is working on Max Payne 3 for the HD consoles and PC. To be released winter of this year, they say they’re moving the story of Max Payne in a “new direction”. Sam Houser of Rockstar said “This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”

Final Fantasy XIII will now be on both PS3 AND Xbox 360. I still need to unwrap XII.
