Valkyria Chronicles DLC Coming in ‘Spring’
March 16th, 2009 by Sean
Though Valkyria Chronicles didn’t have the massive success it so richly deserved, Sega hopes to rekindle the embers of interest in the game by releasing three downloadable additions to the game “this spring.”
CVG’s official word from Sega offers a rundown of the three add-ons:
Hard EX Mode — fight your way once more through the entire Imperial army, where the enemies are more lethal and your main tank Edelweiss is unavailable. You’ll have to be more strategic in order to overcome your opponents.
Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” — six members have been separated from Squad 7 and on their journey to reunite with the squad, they stumble upon a tiny village under attack by the Imperial Army. Play as Edy and command your outnumbered team to defend the small village from annihilation.
Selvaria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame” — this mission takes place right after the outbreak of Gallian battle lines and you play as Johann, a young and meek engineer, assigned to Selvaria’s troop. See the action as it unfolds behind enemy lines and see the war play out through the eyes of the enemy.
So far Sega has yet to confirm a release date (beyond the nebulous “this spring”) or a price point for the DLC.

First look at Fallout 3′s The Pitt
March 15th, 2009 by Sean
Screenshots can only show so much, which is why I recommend, no, insist watching GameTrailers’ recently released Fallout 3 The Pitt DLC trailer:
As expected, The Pitt presents a dangerous, dirty and rugged atmosphere where steel construction is the norm and scaffolding wraps around buildings like an artificial highway. It’s The Pitt, it’s releasing March 24, 2009.
Fallout 3′s ‘The Pitt’ Expansion Coming
March 5th, 2009 by Sean
Bethesda Softworks has finalized a release date for the second Fallout 3 downloadable expansion: March 24, 2009.
The add-on, dubbed “The Pitt,” gives player the chance to explore the post-nuclear wreckage of Pittsburgh. Unlike modern-day Pittsburgh, The Pitt is a decrepit industrial wasteland run by raiders and slavers.
Based on the images Bethesda has so far released, it almost looks like Barter Town from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, only with a notable lack of Tina Turner in chainmail.
As with the previously released Operation Anchorage add-on, The Pitt will be priced at $10.00 USD on release and should hit the Xbox Live Marketplace and Windows Live simultaneously.
Street Fighter IV: Free Training Manual
March 3rd, 2009 by Sean
In a particularly awesome bit of fan service, Capcom’s Street Fighter IV division has made available, free of charge, the Training Manual that the company mailed to members of the press to herald the new game.
Included in the 22 page .pdf file is an expanded look at each character’s background, full move lists, a short history of the series, and some stunning art that otherwise would have only been appreciated by the fraction of a percentile of gamers who had already acquired one of these booklets.
If you want to snag a copy of the manual, simply visit the Capcom Unity blog. So far Capcom has not mentioned any sort of limited availability on the file, but just to be safe I’d recommend getting your own copy before hundreds of thousands of other gamers are also inundating Capcom’s servers with download requests.
