Gearbox and 2K released the third DLC pack for Borderlands recently, and it's considered by many to be the best. The first DLC, Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, had gamers fighting off zombies while DLC #2 was arena based and featured Mad Moxxi. This third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, picks up from the end of the original game and is packed with some great new features.

A new Aliens Vs Predator game has been a long time coming, and as of last week, it's here. Developed by Rebellion -- the same studio that created the original Aliens Vs Predator game in 1999 for Windows, the new Aliens Vs Predator once again allows players to play as a Marine, Xenomorph, or Predator. In addition to short campaigns for each species, an online multiplayer component is included that is ultimately the real draw to the game. If you've looked online, scores for this title vary considerably from horrible to outstanding -- personally, I found the game to fall very much in between.

The long running Dynasty Warriors franchise got its newest entry last week with Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. Strikeforce has been on PSP for sometime now, but the console version offers a variety of additional features while simultaneously pushing the franchise to new boundaries. In many ways Strikeforce is the same Dynasty Warriors game we've come to know, but fans of the series and newcomers alike should be both pleased, and maybe a little letdown, with what's offered here.

Third person action gaming goes to hell this month with the release of Dante's Inferno. Developed by Visceral Games (creators of Dead Space and Dead Space: Extraction), and published by EA, Dante's Inferno takes players through hell based on the events in The Divine Comedy. This game has looked solid ever since I first saw it in person at E3, and now having completed it, I'm still under that impression.

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver start in several days, and earlier this month Sega released their officially licensed video game on the Xbox 360 and PS3. I've spent several hours with Vancouver 2010 and while it's pretty fun, it lacks any real depth or substance that makes you want to keep on playing. Let's take a closer look.

One of my favorite games from last year's E3 was Vigil Games' first major title: Darksiders. This third person action adventure game in the vein of God of War and Devil May Cry casts players as War from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Darksiders tells a tale of revenge and redemption, packed with violence and a variety of familiar, yet very well implemented, gameplay elements. With only minor issues sustained throughout the entire campaign, Darksiders is my first must-own have of 2010.

As a disclaimer, I don't enjoy being mean or cynical or cross about a game. I take no pleasure in seeing flaws or problems when it comes to gameplay. Despite how some reviewers write, as if they're too smart for game companies and game companies are low on the totem pole, that's not me and it won't be. With all of this said, I really do sincerely hope that the movie Avatar is more entertaining than the game.

The Tony Hawk video game franchise was due for an overhaul, but I don't think many expected what Tony Hawk himself announced at this year's E3. The new Tony Hawk, simply known as Ride, would include its own skateboard controller. The idea is marvelous, but how does the final product shape up? I couldn't wait to find out when we got it in for review.

Richard "Dick" Marcinko is known as the Rogue Warrior (yes, in real life). A former Navy SEAL, Marcinko is an author and accomplished business man nowadays. I had never heard the name before I began to look into a new game called Rogue Warrior, developed by Rebellion and published by Bethesda Softworks. This very M rated game puts players in the shoes of Marcinko as they single handedly must keep the North Koreans and Russians from 'winning' the Cold War. The action is gritty, the language is incredibly foul, and the game does have a lot of issues -- but I'll be damned if it isn't fun enough to warrant a play through.

The war rages on. In the 26th century, the alien alliance known as The Covenant has humanity on the ropes and is prepared to wipe them out for good. In Halo 3: ODST, gamers will face The Covenant as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST), a highly trained elite combat warrior. The battleground? Africa, in an area known as New Mombasa. Featuring an all new campaign and new multiplayer additions, there's little question that ODST belongs on any serious Halo fans' short list.
