X103 here, sorry it took so long to get to this...

We did our podcast on day 1 of Comic-Con in San Diego, so naturally, we only got half of the news to you at that point. Well, here is the other half.

Alright, the first one was announced the day after the podcast and is extremely relevant to my interests. The new Force Unleashed DLC that was hinted at by an achievements list leak was confirmed. Titled "Ultimate Sith". The kind-of twist is that the full content will only be available on a special edition disk coming out this holiday. Consisting of two more levels (the disk exclusive is Hoth, and third being the already released Jedi Jemple) the pack will deliver a skewed timeline story containing Starkiller as Palpatine's apprentice and he will hunt down Luke and Obi-Wan as well as skirmish with Boba Fett.

In other Comic-Con news... http://kotaku.com/5323169/comic+con-cosplay-stories This Wonder Woman is HOT. That is all.

Dead Space is getting a movie green-light as well as verbal announcements (unknown of outside-the-dev-team confusion) of work being done on not only Dead Space 2, but Dead Space 3 as well.

Forza 3 has a release date. October 27 for NA, October 23 for AUS/NZ, October 3 for Europe.

The All Fronts/Dark Corners pack for Gears of War 2 is out and it brings with it one new single player mission (tucked between chapters 4-2 and 4-3) and if you get the All Fronts pack, you get all the multiplayer maps to date. Not too bad for $20 considering the collective cost of the map packs.

http://kotaku.com/5325022/bayonetta-box-art-has-a-big-full-moon The Bayonetta cover art has been revealed and it touts a whopping three guns, two moons, one body, one celestial body, a title and it stil has room for that XBox360 band. Simply amazing!

Apparently, there is a new Disney game in the mix too, and no, its not Hannah Montana. It is code named "Epic Mickey" and its supposed to be a mickey steampunk-infused game. http://kotaku.com/5325334/spectors-epic-mickey-is-for-the-wii Looks nice though...

Oh! Interesting savings(?) alert! From Microsoft, if you buy all 5 games from the Summer of Arcade run ('Splosion Man, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, TMNT: Turtles in Time Reshelled, Trials HD and Shadow Complex) you will get 800 points re-redeemed to your account, which basically gives you all 5 games, but 'Splosion Man free! Woo! [[[[UPDATE!!]]] Ubisoft revealed earlier today that they will be lowering the price of TMNT: Turtles in Time Reshelled from 1200MSP ($15) to 800MSP ($10) bringing the point total of all Summer of Arcade titles to only 5200, minus the 800 back deal, all games will be yours for now 4600MSP. That's a savings (now) of an arcade game and a half with all 5 purchased, making this deal a little more valid.

Unfortunately, there is a ton of small news abroad between this last week and today, but yeah, these are the big movers and shakers! Later days!
