Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Dated for August 24
It seems like it's been a long time since I've killed an unworldly amount of cops while robbing a bank and then going on a high-speed interstate chase, all to save my daughter. Oh wait, I'm thinking of when I played Kane & Lynch: Dead Men back in 2007. Pardon my confusion. I guess I just can't wait to play Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, which just so happens to have just been officially confirmed for a August 24th release.
The date is also revealed in the new Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days...
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition With 3D Coming to NA
We never reported on it, but a couple of weeks ago, a game of the year edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum (with 3D glasses) was announced for Europe, Asia and Australia....but not North America. You may now breathe a sigh of relief, as a North American version (with 3D glasses) has been announced.
Eidos Interactive has confirmed that Game of the Year edition will be coming to the US in May. This edition comes complete with the original game, plus four extra challenge maps. Not to mention.....
Rumor: Gears of War 3 Coming April 2011
It's safe to say that a new Gears of War game is in the works, even though there has been no official announcement from the developer, Epic Games, or any info at all. Despite the lack of anything official, EDGE has posted a new article stating that a source has told them about an upcoming trailer and the expected release date of Gears of War 3.
Edge says their source told them that Gears of War 3 is due for release in April 2011, and the long wait is most likely due to a few key factors....
Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo Releases March 18

The demo is prerelease, as it will release this Thursday, March 18th, according to an Inside Xbox Video. The video shows some gameplay from the demo. So uh, yeah, that's it. Enjoy....
Modern Warfare 2 “Stimulus Package” Map Pack Detailed, Priced
The cure for mapathy is right around the corner, and we now have details on the five maps that it comes with, as well as the price.
Modern Warfare 2's "Stimulus Package" map pack is coming March 30th, and we can now tell you that it is coming 'packaged' with 5 brand new maps. Well, sort of brand new. Two of the maps are Call of Duty 4 remakes. Do you remember "Crash" and "Overgrown"? They'll be making a return, as they were apparently fan favorites. An Xbox Live Marketplace listing details...

Infinity Ward Employees Not Leaving Because They Want Their Money
Did you really expect that we had heard the last of this? Developers and other employees that still work at Infinity Ward apparently want out, but aren't leaving due to unpaid royalties.
Rumor has it that Activision is playing dirty. They are continuing to delay the payment of royalties in order to keep people on staff and working. It's a dirty move, but clever. The royalties are for Modern Warfare 2, and every Infinity Ward employee that had their hand in the game is due some amount of roy...

"Yes, there will be one. I can't tell you what map or when it's going to be released yet. My lips are sealed," Beland said in the video that is viewable after the break in this post.
We don't know whether the demo will be single player or co-op, or even both. We also don't know whether this will be a prerelea...
Red Faction 3 Returning to Roots, Coming March 2011
Joystiq got the chance to sit down with THQ's executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson at GDC 2010, and gave them some neat information on the next Red Faction game.
The upcoming Red Faction game, whether it is called Red Faction 3 or something else, will be coming out in March 2011. The only other solid information that Bilson gave Joystiq was:
"The new game takes [Red Faction] to a whole new place, it kind of goes back to the old Red Faction because about 80% of it is underground," Bilson...
