Dead Island’s First DLC Available Now
El_Funko - Wednesday, November 23, 2011
The first DLC pack for Dead Island, Bloodbath Arena, is available now and brings four new challenges to the game.
Bloodbath Arena allows you and up to 3 mates to fight off wave after wave of zombies across four different arenas, similar to the Gears of War Horde mode. The experience points and items you pick up in Bloodbath Arena can be brought back into the campaign mode, so it’s a great way to improve your character.
It’s also a great way to mess around with the game without having to worry about following the orders of some jerk quest-giver. Sometimes a guy just wants to bash zombies with his mates, y’know? Maybe he doesn’t want to collect five bottles of whiskey, 3 car batteries and whatever else the survivors of Dead Island need.
Bloodbath Arena is available on Steam now for $9.99 US (although a lot of people will get it free from various pre-order deals).

BF3 Server Update & DLC Images
El_Funko - Monday, October 31, 2011
DICE have released a server update for Battlefield 3 which has been rolled out this morning.
The R6 update fixes various crashes and performance issues which should make things run a bit smoother for everyone. As this is a server update, you won’t need to update to your BF3 client.
In other Battlefield news, DICE have released a series of images showing off the Strike at Karkand map from the upcoming Back to Karkand DLC. There’s still no mention of when we’ll get to play the DLC, but it can’t be far off if it already has a filter option in the Battlelog server browser.

Brink DLC Coming In June
Scott Rose - Monday, May 16, 2011
Splash Damage and Bethesda revealed the first downloadable addon for their latest Class-based FPS will be available for free at an unspecified date in June.
In addition to the announcement that free DLC will be coming for the game they have also mentioned that a configuration update has gone live on Xbox 360 and will cap the number of human players when matchmaking in Campaign and Freeplay modes, allowing a maximum of eight online players.
Splash Damage believe that by capping the max human players to 8, and eliminating the 8v8 games it might reduce the lag that Xbox 360 players are experiencing. They have also mentioned that 8v8 will still be supported via a new “Big Teams” configuration in Freeplay and though custom settings in Private Games.
PC Gamers have already received a full patch containing many fixes to the game which were included in the day-one patches sent out to gaming consoles. The only exception to this is the PS3 patch which will be available upon the restoration of Sony’s PlayStation Network.
