The new Eye of Judgment card pack hits later this week, bringing 100 new spells and creature cards. Sony sent along this sample pack to me so I could check out a bit of the Biolith Rebellion 2 card set. SCEA tells me that a downloadable expansion pack from the store will bring new characters, animations and in-game rules to the game as well. The download also brings enhanced in-game heads-up displays that give players more information about creatures' status, abilities and protection. More »

It wouldn't be a Sim game without expansion packs, and come this May SimCity Societies is officially a Sim game. EA has announced the first expansion for the latest version of the city building sim, SimCity Societies Destinations, which gives your sims a place to go once they get tired of being crushed under the heel of your totalitarian regime. Players will be able to create a wide variety of vacation spots, from sun-drenched beaches to gigantic theme parks. The expansion comes complete with over 100 new buildings to help distract your sims from the fact that back home you've set all of their houses on fire. More »

Despite the fact that everyone I've talked to who has spent any amount of time playing Xbox 360 and PC persistent-world RPG Two Worlds has utterly despised the game, the developers are still supporting it, announcing an add-on to be released in the first half of 2008. Two Worlds - The Temptation will feature new territories to explore, an enhanced combat system that includes active blocking, and an entirely new method of transportation - here's hoping for horses you actually control. The release is relatively vague, and the website they provide in it only contains three wallpapers, so for now the expansion might as well be called Two Worlds - Three Wallpapers. We'll keep you posted in case anything actually happens worth mentioning. More »

A new Sims 2 expansion pack is now available as a pre-order from Amazon with a release date of June 5th. It features clothing inspired by real H&M designs from dresses to casual outfits (even for men) as well as the ability to design your own H&M store. There's a catwalk build too, but if I know H&M, by the time you finish your fashion designs and put them down a runway, it will already be time to buy a whole new season's worth of H&M Sims clothing over again. Unfortunately, there was no mention on whether or not it would include the highly covetted Madonna H&M line in it. Kim Phu More »
