One of Mafia II's drawbacks was the extremely long driving times often required by a map that spread mission points very far apart. L.A. Noire will be twice the size - eight square miles to Empire Bay's four - and will require 30 minutes to traverse by car. More »

If we're going to complain about Modern Warfare 2 DLC including older maps, should we also complain about the return of the original Lost Planet's Frozen Wasteland as one of two maps in Lost Planet 2's second map pack? More »

Just a quick reminder for those Halo 3 fans in the audience (anyone?) that today is Bungie Day on Xbox Live! What does that mean? It means free gamerpics and themes of course, as well as the debut of the all-new, all-icy Cold Storage map, also available as a free download. For those of you who've fallen behind on your Halo 3 gameplay, the Legendary Map Pack has also had its price slashed in honor of Bungie Day, dropping 200 Microsoft points ($2.50) to 600 points. It's an excellent day to pull that copy of Call of Duty 4 out of your 360 and get your future weapons on! More »

Valve had a nice little gathering of souls last night at Blondie's Bar and No Grill here in SF to show of the new Team Fortress 2 map, Goldrush. If you are reading this, you are probably a big Team Fortress 2 fan, so I'll skip explanations of the game and dive right into the details. More »

With just a few days to go until its release, we are already getting some bonus content for Rainbow Six Vegas 2. GameInvasion is hosting a special "Comcast Event Map" that can be downloaded from their site as soon as the game hits your PS3 or 360. No word on exactly what the map will contain, but I have to admit, the title has me scratching my head. "Comcast Event Map" dredges up some strange thoughts involving dicey connections, rude customer service and an On-Demand system that only works about 40% of the time. Let's hope this map involves none of these. More »

I hate mall crowds. Wandering about my local consumer labyrinth, I find myself eternally stuck behind some pimp-strutting teens, or a long line of girls with their arms linked in an unbreakable chain, even as some hirsute cromagnon besides me loudly wheezes and smashes his feet down on the back of my Achilles' Heel, impatient at my slow progress. The effluviate mundanity of a reprehensible, stinking humanity surrounds me. "Hey baby, how's about's the digits?" a sunken chested moron says to the right of me, talking to a fat girl in a baby t-shirt languishing seductively against a trash-can, slurping at a smoothe. I hate these people so much, I just want to grab each and every one of them by the sides of their heads and continue to exert pressure until their eyes squirt onto my face like the whites of a couple of soft-boiled eggs.

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=198417&view=rss&microfeed=true I was excited to read that SOCOM 3 was getting an upgrade and map pack today. The update fixes bugs and adds the SOCOM store to the SOCOM 3 Online Community page. Sony is rolling out their first map pack for the shooter in an interesting way. They're going to let people download it and play it for the first two weeks for free. After that you'll have to pay to continue using them. I hope Sony uses this system when the PS3 launches. More »

Click on the little red dots to pull up a list of companies and their webpages. It's a fairly complete list, though somebody might want to add Capcom and SNK. They're kinda famous. More »

Alexis over at The PSP Nation emailed to remind us of their site which helps Playstation Portable owners find people to game with. Coincidentally, The PSP Nation just kicked off their Frappr site. So now you can check out a map of where other PSP owners live. Sadly, none of them are in Colorado. Not one single gamer. Dammit, if it's the last thing I do, I will make Colorado a gaming hub.
