Oh boy. Here's the story as it stands, and I'll try and keep it spoiler free:

Due to a slip up recently on Xbox's LIVE Marketplace (what else?), it was revealed that the first installment of Mass Effect 3 DLC content would be a day 1 release. The DLC is called From Ashes, and contains a bonus mission and bonus character (in the same vein as the Zaeed and Kasumi DLC from Mass Effect 2), and was revealed to have been the same bonus mission/character content included for in the Collector's Edition of Mass Effect 3 (surely covered in the extra cost of the CE, along with the artbook and various other extras).

Not surprisingly, because you know, the internet, there's been a backlash asking why such notable DLC isn't actually included as part of the game, even accusals that a piece of the main game had been annexed and sold off as DLC for a bit of extra coin.

Of course, the general defense is that you can plainly just not buy the DLC. But for some that old...

That's right, if you're a Silver XBLA user you can get some free Gold time just by downloading the demo.

Included with the demo which has two campaign different areas to play through is a sample of the multiplayer, though that won't up until the 18th I read. Guess we'll see, my download is done.

There were rumours that the initial designed leaked was the start of a new rebranding for DC as a company - and they were right.



It's only been 7 years since DC moved away from the "bullet" logo designed by Milton Glaser back in 1977, and rolled out the 'comet'/'swoosh' logo that most are now familiar with:

But it seems there's two points DC Entertainment is wanting to make from here with the new design: that along with the New 52, they're making a point of a new start and a complete rebranding; and that it seems that the larger 'Entertainment' side of their company is taking precedence in relation to this new logo design.

As a graphic designer, I've been following the news of this new logo design since I first heard of it, and I honestly can't say I'm too impressed by the logo. Don't get me wrong, it's servicable, but my problem is that there's very little about it...

Really. Go on.

It's official - Arkham 2 gets a name and a release date:

Sad.
