Go ahead and download the mod from GTAGaming, if causing chaos as a naked-from-the-waist-down cartoon bear should happen to appeal to you.

Alongside a number of bug fixes, we can also expect to see four brand spanking new multiplayer maps and one new gameplay mode implemented into the game; none of which in any way touched or spoiled by the “closed beta” tester-folk, meaning it’ll be a mostly level playing field for everyone where map familiarity is concerned. They’ll still be much better than at the whole shooty-shooty thing, but at least they’ll be just as lost as you are when it comes to navigating the areas.

Full patch notes can be found here. Feel free to sign up now in preparation for the imminent release of the open beta.

Whatever they have planned, they’re claiming that they’ll reveal all on March 5th. Personally, I’d be over the moon if they just revealed a new line of gaming mice and headsets. They do make terrific mice.

If you simply cannot wait for the Homefront: Ultimate Edition to charge its way into your neck of the woods, you could always just pick up the game and it’s double dose of DLC packs from Steam for an absurd price, or you could just use Amazon UK or Amazon US as two much more affordable alternatives.

The extra scenario that you’ll earn for yourself when purchasing the “N7 Edition” of Mass Effect 3 is called “From Ashes” and it’ll apparently serve as a fairly meaty bit of story — so we’re lead to believe. Before it’s prompt removal, a listing of the DLC on the official Xbox 360 product page makes mention of Commander Shepard needing to “Unearth lost secrets from the past and recruit the Prothean squad member.” Expect to pay somewhere in the region of $10 for the privilege of playing the seemingly already complete add-on if you don’t purchase the N7 Edition.

Do make sure to stick around until the end in order to watch Claptrap show off his dancing moves to some dubstep.

Borderlands 2 is due out on September 18th in the States, and September 21st in Europe.

Compact design and console-like visual charms seem to be the aim of the game where the X51 is concerned. If you’er tempted, by all means make your way over to Dell’s virtual shop for a poke around, but know that you’re looking at a base price of £699, and that’s before all the half decent hardware has been piled in there. The top of the range model, which is supposedly able to “rise to any challenge,” starts at £949.

If we are privy to it, however, then we’ll allegedly have our copies of the game upgraded to “FUBAR Pack Premium Edition” status, which will include a “slew of special multiplayer unlocks”.

Spec Ops: The Line is available for pre-order via GAME and Play.

To round out some of the mind-bending performance results, Nvidia have also seen fit to include a whopping 50 additional 3D Vision and SLI profiles for a great number of top games; read the full list here.

Mass Effect 3 is set to come rocketing off into our neck of the woods in early March.

Volition and THQ now have me befuddled, wondering just what possible future add-on content they could bundle into the game that might outdo this one.

Purchasing the bundle will net you a few extra bonuses, including: a high definition Cossacks wallpaper, reference card, and the official soundtrack. Nice.

If you’ve signed into Steam as of late, chances are you’ll have already had the update automatically downloaded directly to your hard drive and applied to your copy of the game. The new DirectX version toggler which becomes present during the game’s pre-launch means that those of us with less trendy graphics cards can still trudge onwards with DirectX 9, should they prefer.

The artwork can be witnessed for yourself in sickeningly-detailed high-definition on the game’s official website.

Note: while the project has not yet been officially labelled as ‘Amnesia 2‘, we’re thinking this will be the most likely of monikers to be slapped onto the game, so we’ll continue calling it that until official word tells us otherwise.

If, like me, you don’t happen to own a TV license and therefore lack access to televised advertisements, you might perhaps want to see what it is we’re missing out on; feast your eyes:

Does watching the advert (“commercial” to our friends across the pond) make you want to buy the game? Well, I was going to do so anyway, but a 30-second, Tyrant-teasing reminder isn’t going to hurt anyone.

On the Alan Wake forums, fans had been asking how the sales were going since the game launched and Remedy’s Aki Järvilehto posted his feelings about how well Alan Wake has been doing in such a short space of time:

“I wanted to chime in here. We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing. We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we’re certainly very excited about PC.”

The download comes with the full game plus two DLC packs, The Signal and The Writer, as well as 3D and multi-screen options. However if the digital age began and ended with dial-up, as far as you’re concerned, don’t worry; a retail version will be hitting the shelves March 2nd if you like to keep your games in the physical world.

Developers Mojang, Wolfire Games and Oxeye Game Studio got stuck in to the event, creating games for fans to buy and therefore donate to the charities listed above – Wolfire created The Broadside Express, Oxeye made Fists of Resistance and Mojang put out a poll for players to vote which game they would like created by the studio. The result was a Steampunk Egyptian themed RTS shoot em’ up (yes, that genre does now exist) called Catacomb Snatch.

So there you have it – the drive raised a whole lot of cash for four very worthy causes but just because the Mojam is over, it doesn’t mean the donations have to stop. Why not send some dosh to the charities directly if you didn’t get a chance over the weekend?

If you’ve been in the market for a graphics card upgrade, and don’t fancy having to have to do so again for another couple of decades, then the ASUS Radeon HD 7970 could very well be what you’re looking for. Hit play to see how the card handles Mass Effect 3, and also for a brief tour of ASUS’ own GPU Tweak overclocking and monitoring software.

Nvidia, the ball’s in your court. Impress us with the GeForce GTX 670 or GTX 680, or whatever it is your lads are working on. C’mon, we know you’re cooking up something special.

Mass Effect 3 is due out in March.

Hard Reset: Extended Edition is due out on March 9, 2012.
