The multiplayer maps originally included in Halo 3: ODST will soon be available for all. Microsoft today announced the Halo 3 Mythic 2 Map Pack will be available for download on Feb. 2, 2010 at 800 Microsoft points.
The download pack contains these three maps:
~ Heretic brings players to familiar ground as the "Halo 2" arena Midship returns in "Halo 3." The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic's symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
~ Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.
~ Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large-scale combat and well-suited for smaller affairs, Longshore's multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
We gotta another clip from Friday's upcoming episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. check after the jump for episode description.
When a wily pickpocket steals Ahsoka's lightsaber during an otherwise routine mission, the desperate Togruta teen must enlist the help of an elderly Jedi Master to track down the slippery thief. The search takes the unlikely pair deep into the seedy underbelly of Coruscant’s seamy underworld…and pits the young Padawan against a new kind of threat, unlike anything she’s seen on the front lines. It’s a race to reclaim both her weapon and her honor in “Lightsaber Lost,” an all-new episode of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS airing at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, January 22 on Cartoon Network.
We picked up a clip from DC animated film Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. lot of characters will be in this feature as well as some evil counter parts, It will be just fun trying to figure who is the evil doppelganger for who. The movie is due out February 23rd 2010 check out some info after the jump.
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original direct-to-video animated film set to be released on February 23, 2010. It is based on the abandoned direct to video feature, Justice League: Worlds Collide (originally titled Justice League: Fearful Symmetry), which was intended as a bridge between the then-concluding Justice League series and its then forthcoming sequel series Justice League Unlimited. The movie project was shelved because of insufficient staff to produce the movie and the TV show simultaneously. Crisis on Two Earths was reworked from the Worlds Collide script to remove references to the TV series' continuity.
The premise of "Crisis on Two Earths" is borrowed from the 1964 Gardner Fox-scripted Justice League of America #29-30 as well as the 1999 Grant Morrison JLA: Earth 2 graphic novel, with a heroic Lex Luthor from an alternate universe coming to the Justice League's universe for help against the Crime Syndicate, but it is not an adaptation of that story. The film is the seventh in the line of the DC Universe Original Animated Movies line released by Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation. The film is not a DCAU production in any way, nor is it connected in any way to the previously released Justice League animated film; Justice League: The New Frontier.
I was reserving judgment about this until i saw the trailer. Its a casting gold mine with Liem Neeson, and MMA fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and the trailer just cemented my ticket purchase.
DC Entertainment's announcements of the DCU 2010 landscape continue on today courtesy of DCU Blog The Source, with news of the return of a book, team, and creative team. Birds of Prey, canceled in the reshuffling of the Batman family of comics in Spring 2009, is returning Spring 2010.
Gail Simone is at the helm as writer, returning to the book that is largely responsible for her success at DC. Her original artist for the series, Ed Benes, is also returning to the series. It will relaunch with a new number 1. Familiar members Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress, and Lady Blackhawk will be joined by at least two other members, currently blacked out on the cover art released with the announcement.
With the final teaser image filled out and dropped off for Marvels upcoming Ultimate X series, we may not know who everyone is but we definitely recognize that massive mountain of grey muscle bringing up the rear, or so we like to think.

Another phenomenal trailer to showcase the new upcoming Transformers Video game. We more character screen time in this one with (of course) Optimus and Megatron taking center stage, and Bumblebee and Soundwave on the frontline to fight for what's right. but smooth trailer all around, definitely looking forward to learning more as it develops.
