Yesterday we posted a report from XBOX World magazine

We should have known better there and then. The report suggested that Just Cause 3 was in development, and due for release next year. Unfortunately, developer Avalanche Studio hasn't got the foggiest idea where the rumours came from. "It's just a rumour and we're not releasing any game in 2012," Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg..

Ready for more ridiculous graphics and terrible accents? Good, because if rumours are to be believed Avalanche is hard at work on a new entry in the Just Cause series

The news comes via XBOX World magazine (sigh, we know), which claims that the game is due for release next year. We'll take a new Just Cause, just less Bolo Santosi this time ta. [Thanks CVG]

Square Enix has finally attached a date and price-point to the first batch of DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution

The additional content will launch on October 18th with a price-point of $14.99. The big question is: are you even done with Deus Ex's main campaign?

We already know Square Enix's bonkers Pikmin-esque PlayStation Vita exclusive, Army Corps Of Hell, will be prepared in time for both the PlayStation Vita's European and Japanese launches, but now the publisher has confirmed it will be joining the party in North America too

Developed by Entersphere, Army Corps Of Hell is being steered by Nintendo legend Motoi Okamoto, who worked on the scripts for..

With a near nine-minute running time, the latest trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2 is certainly an epic

But it's also packed with information about the upcoming sequel's plot and gameplay. We're getting gradually more excited for Final Fantasy XIII-2. Let's just hope there's a much greater emphasis on exploration this time around.
