[Image source: Shoryuken ] Based on some leaked shots of a supposed Super Street Fighter IV theme coming to the Xbox 360 (spotted by Shoryuken ), Capcom’s cast of brawlers are getting some fresh threads. In the case of Dee Jay above, it looks like he’s getting a time machine back to the early ’90s when those pants were still cool. But, we digress. These costumes look all well and good, but what about newcomer Hakan ? How do you clothe a man perpetually covered in baby oil?

“A two pack?” you ask, confused by today’s announcement of the Borderlands DLC retail package. “But doesn’t that game have three DLC packs ? And aren’t there more coming ?” Yeah, sure, and you might even have a point! But for now, 2K Games chose to announce the release of The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot , together on disc, for $19.99 (starting on April 6 in North America and April 9 everywhere else). More confusing?

Say you were to jump a sweet speedboat off an even sweeter ramp, then climb onto that speedboat and shoot a rocket at a dude in a tower (which is a real thing that happens in Just Cause 2 ) for 15 to 20 hours. Afterward, if someone asked you how much more time you wanted to spend doing things like that, we imagine the answer would be “a lot.” Perhaps it’s no coincidence, then, that that’s exactly how much DLC lead designer Peter Johansson tells Eurogamer is coming to the Just Cause 2: “a lot.” And that’s on top of all the content already on the game disc, which, by all external signs, is pretty darn imposing. Johannsson claims that his 60-percent-complete save file is about 55 game hours worth of playtime, which, if you let the math play out, means that if you were to play all 100 percent of the game, it would take roughly 73,000 hours. Roughly. You can expect ‘a lot’ of Just Cause 2 DLC originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:30:00 EST.

click to kazoomi Like some of the best loyalty quests in Mass Effect 2 , ” Kasumi’s Stolen Memory ” is an inventive sub-story that steps away from all the galactic peril just long enough to explore the motives and traits of a newly recruited squad mate. The downloadable add-on introduces Kasumi, a cocky human thief in search of data relating to a former partner (in crime?), and sees Shepard accompanying her on an important and incredibly dangerous two-person mission. You know, a date. Donning a sleek bit of evening wear and a false identity, Shepard accompanies Kasumi to an exclusive party — the kind that requires either a shiny invitation or a shady conscience. While the commander mingles, a cloaked Kasumi keeps an eye out for the hidden art vault that she believes holds her partner’s grey box.

Following last night’s NPD report for February, Nintendo has issued a press release lauding the amazing selling power of its own products. In typical fashion, the gaming giant that got your grandma into gaming has managed to sell a ridiculous amount of DS and Wii systems in the U.S. — 1.9 million in the first two months of 2010, to be exact. As impressive as that 1.9 million figure is, Nintendo’s ability to break its own records is even more impressive.

2K Games has announced that expansions for BioShock 2 are “slated to arrive over the coming months,” expanding both the single-player and multiplayer facets of the game. The custodians of Rapture have yet to reveal what’s in store for the single-player campaign, but have offered details on the first new multiplayer add-on: the Sinclair Solutions Test Pack. Available “soon” for 400 ($5) on Xbox Live and $4.99 on PSN, the pack will include: Rank Increase to level 50 with Rank Rewards New playable characters Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca 20 new trials (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher) A third weapon upgrade for each weapon Five additional masks (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher) We just hope 2K Games takes care of those freezing issues before luring us back to the Circus of Values.

This week’s offerings are much more foreign — there’s a three-pack from Finnish rock band HIM, a song from Britain’s One Night Only, a track from The Police, and a song from Marilyn Manson, whom we all know actually descends from an extinct alien race whose name our human tongues could never hope to pronounce. Click past the jump for the full list of new additions!
