Mars' (PS3/X360/PC) - New Screens
Mars aims to renew the RPG gaming experience with more intuitive, faster and more gratifying action phases, while at the same time keeping the specific main features of the genre. The idea is to blend two genres, Beat’em all Action and RPG, combining character progression, immersion, equipment collection, additional quests and a solid storyline with rhythmic combat sequences, a sense of power from the beginning of the game and of course QTE and bosses with sequential behaviour.
Fight Night Round 4 Preview (360/PS3)
Three years after Fight Night Round 3’s release and the reigning champ of boxing games still looks damn sexy in 1080p. As one of the first titles to take advantage of next-gen horsepower, the title transcended the regular boxing game, becoming a must have for folks that love to show off their high-end home theaters.
Midnight Club: Los Angles DLC now available
Rockstar makes some of the most popular video games available with titles like Grand Theft Auto and more. One of the long running franchises for the studio has been the Midnight Club series. The latest title in the franchise is Midnight Club: LA and Rockstar have been talking about new DLC content coming for the game for a while.
Rockstar has announced that the anticipated South Central Map Expansion and South Central Premium Upgrade are both now available on the PS3 and Xbox. The map expansion is a free update that adds four new neighborhoods to the game.
The premium upgrade adds the new neighborhoods along with nine new cars, 26 new races, 12 battle maps, 10 delivery missions, and over 100 new red light races. Judging from the fact that the premium pack selling for $9.99 for the PS3 and 800 MS Points on the Xbox has the races, the free expansion must just give you more room to drive with no available events.

New Releases (Week of 3/23/09)
Activision has the game for you as Guitar Hero: Metallica will be released on the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. Speaking of rock, The Rock will appear in the latest WWE wrestling game, WWE Legends of WrestleMania (PS3, Xbox 360). And speaking of things that rock, the movie Wanted was adapted as a video game titled Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PC, PS3, Xbox 360). Since the game isn't being released until Tuesday, it's anybody's guess if it rocks like the movie.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 revealed for the PS3
Even after being partially published by Microsoft, Tecmo has announced that the formerly Xbox 360-exclusive Ninja Gaiden II will be released on the PlayStation 3 this Fall as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
Like the first Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Sigma 2 will be an enhanced port of Ninja Gaiden II that will contain a bunch of extras. These extras will include new weapons (apparently a giant hammer called Genma), new boss battles and the ability to play as Ayane from the Dead or Alive series (Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive share the same universe).
Mass Effect 2 Coming to Xbox 360, Windows in "Early 2010"
A lot of you really, truly dug Bioware's Mass Effect. I didn't. That is, I didn't dig it as enthusiastically. In fact I scored it 60 points on PC World's 100 point scale, which translates as "slightly better than average." Not a bad score. Certainly not a negative review. Regardless, it incited 1,823 "no" votes against just 202 "yes" votes in our admittedly easily skewed thumbs-up-or-down recommendation system.
Guitar Hero: Metallica Demo Impressions
Today, Activision and Microsoft added a little metal to Xbox Live Marketplace when they dropped a Guitar Hero: Metallica demo into the catalog. We jumped on the trial, which clocked in at just over 1GB, to see how it sang.
Xbox 360 E74 Hardware Failures are on the Rise and Full of Fail
The E74 error is caused when the "ANA" image scaler chip fails, overheats or there is serious AV connection problem. The hot air flow from the CPU and GPU goes right over the location of the ANA chip so it might be slowly cooked by normal use.
An Xbox 360 that is suffering an E74 error will have the lower-right quadrant of the Ring of Light flash on the front on the console and a multiple languages error message may display that will read "E74. System Error. Contact Xbox Customer Support." or the screen will simply glitch out and display a feild of video snow.
Sony Charging Publishers for Free Downloads
Sony has instituted a "PlayStation Network Bandwidth Fee" that requires publishers to pay for each gigabyte used in downloading PlayStation 3 content from the online PlayStation Store, reports MTV Multiplayer.
Publishers were previously able to release PS3 DLC without incurring any bandwidth fees. Microsoft does not charge bandwidth fees for Xbox 360 DLC, claims the site.
The new policy went into effect on October 1, 2008, and charges publishers 16 cents for each gigabyte of bandwidth used. Bandwidth utilized by free content is only billed for the first 60 days, while premium content racks up charges until it's removed from the store.
