Brink's first dose of downloadable content, "Agents Of Change", will release on the PlayStation Network from next week

That's August 4th if you want to mark your calendars. Those who are prompt enough to download the content within its first two weeks on sale will get the upgrade free of charge. Agents Of Change includes two new environments, five new player abilities, two new outfits and two new..

Here's a mouthful for you to get your lips around: first-person stealth action adventure game

That's the pitch for Bethesda and Arkane Studios' latest project: Dishonored. The game's featured on the cover of this month's GameInformer magazine, with former Deus Ex designer Harvey Smith leading creative duties. “At Arkane we have a passion for creating deep, immersive game experiences,” said Arkane..

Bethesda's announced the first batch of Brink DLC: Agents Of Charge

It's set to go live in early July on PlayStation 3, and will be available for free for two weeks after launch. The content will include two new environments, five new player abilities, two new outfits and two new weapon attachments. Strangely, we can see ourselves jumping back into Brink to play this — while the game certainly..

Bethesda's confirmed that the third DLC pack for Fallout: New Vegas will launch on July 19th

The pack is entitled "Old World Blues". A new patch will launch prior to the content to bring “bring improvements to performance and stability in major areas". They're still fixing Fallout: New Vegas then, eh? The content puts you in the shoes of a lab rat in an experiment gone awry, as you..

Hunted: The Demon's Forge looks decent enough: a Gears Of War-esque co-operative adventure set in a fantasy world

We're just not sure the audio in the game's launch trailer necessarily does the product justice. Indeed, the horrible cover of The Turtles' "Happy Together" and questionable voice acting are not doing anything for us. Thankfully the actual gameplay looks relatively neat. One..

Bethesda's just let us know that all preorders for id's upcoming first-person-shooter-meets-car-combat affair, RAGE, will be upgraded to the "Anarchy Edition" in the UK

The Anarchy Edition was announced during Bethesda's pre-E3 showcase last month and includes a bunch of in-game goodies. There's a double barrel shotgun, some elite armour, a pair of knuckle dusters and an exclusive buggy livery..

Brink has knocked Zumba Fitness [urgh - Ed] off the top of the UK sales charts this week, scoring a domestic top-spot for developer Splash Damage

The brilliant LEGO Pirates Of The Caribbean made it a one-two for new releases, finishing up in second. Of course, Zumba Fitness was still around to keep Mums happy, finishing up in third just ahead of Portal 2 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops. The other new..

If you thought Randy Pitchford was going to be the only developer to stand behind Sony over the PlayStation Network data breach then you were mistaken

Despite being adversely affected by the PSN outage, Brink developer Splash Damage has admitted feeling "sympathetic" towards Sony's predicament. "Of course for us it is frustrating to feel that half of our potential user-base won't be..

The most disheartening trend we've started to notice on press-releases this week is the blank nod of no-information pertaining to PSN release dates

The second set of Fallout: New Vegas DLC — entitled Honest Hearts — is due out on the XBOX 360 and PC on May 17th. On PS3? Well, "as soon as possible". You can almost feel the collective sigh from publishers as you read these press..

Let's be honest, Brink is a game all about online multiplayer

Thus it's unfortunate that the game should be releasing at a time when the PlayStation Network is still down [though there is a chance the service could return this week, just believe - Ed]. However, in a statement to GiantBomb, a Bethesda spokesperson said there's still plenty for PlayStation 3 fans to enjoy in Brink while the PSN is..

Brink looks awesome, and it's out this week

Unfortunately the biggest kicker for the game's launch is that the PlayStation Network is still not online yet. That creates a big problem because Brink is very much supposed to be played online. Grrr. It's unfortunate timing for the team at Splash Damage. We can only hope that people choose to pick up the game in good faith. After all, the PSN will be..

Brink launches on PlayStation 3 next week, and Bethesda's been kind enough to send us some stats regarding the game

Aside from the dead boring stuff like there being 60 minutes of music and 26,000 lines of dialogue, Bethesda has also decided to let us know that there are a total of 102,247,681,536,000,000 unique character possibilities. We thought you should know too.

Given that Brink is an ambitious multiplayer-centric first-person shooter with a lot of quirky features, we think it was a shrewd decision for Bethesda to employ a nice-mannered British lady to discuss the game's unique perspective of the battlefield

She can talk about our "commarrrrnd post" all she likes. Right, guys?! Right?! You can check out the rest of Brink's "Get SMART"..

Bethesda's popped us over a new gameplay trailer for id's upcoming first-person shooter RAGE

We haven't been convinced by the title's combination of first-person shooting and vehicular combat in the past, but it's slowly starting to win us over. There are not enough car combat games. Our initial distaste for RAGE's vehicular combat stemmed from the assumption that it would amount to nothing more..

Splash Damage understands

After years of moody, colourless shooters, we've become nostalgic for SEGA's famous Blue Skies™. The team behind Brink feel exactly the same way, paving the way to one of the most colourful first-person shooters in years. “It is time to put colours back in first person shooters,” Splash Damage art boss Oliver Leonardi told IGN. Of course, by the time you finish making..

Bethesda's got juicy with details on three new sets of Fallout: New Vegas DLC due for release starting May 17th -- assuming the PSN is back online

The publisher's kicking things off with Honest Hearts, which takes place in the Zion National Park in Utah. Sent on an exhibition to the caravan resort, you'll quickly find yourself embroiled in a war between tribes. Additional DLC packs, Old World Blues..

Did any recognisable outlet give Fallout: New Vegas their game of the year award? Hmm

Whatever, Amazon UK is listing a Game Of The Year edition of the Obsidian developed RPG. Well, it was, until the listing got removed. Unfortunately, source VG247 forgot to take a screen capture. But we trust 'em. Naturally you can assume that the game of the year re-release will include a manner of DLC nuggets..

Bethesda's finally realised that the release of Rockstar's L

A. Noire</a> might put a dent in the sales of their ambitious first-person shooter, Brink. The publisher's responded by moving the game's release date forward a week to May 10th and May 13th in North America and Europe respectively. Smart move Bethesda. Plus, it's nice to see release dates move forwards instead of backwards for a..

We're not entirely sure why Brink is flying under the radar so badly

It seems to have all the core elements people want: deep but accessible competitive multiplayer, tons of unlocks, vibrant and unique art-style, loads of weapons, great online integration. On paper it looks like the perfect video game. In fact, we're convinced Splash Damage is going to knock this one out of the park, regardless of..
