For those who are finding time to play Aliens vs Predator online, you’ll be happy to know that on March 18, you will be getting some more wholesome goodies for your pleasure.

The DLC will consist of four multiplayer maps taken from the Special Edition. Going under the name of Swarm Map Pack (and costing 560 of your MS Points), it will be split – two available for the majority of modes while two will be available for Survivor.

These two maps are available for Deathmatch, Predator Hunt, Infestation, Species Deathmatch, Mixed Species Deathmatch and Domination:

“Holy Batman Rumours, Batman.”  Yep, according to the cast page on IMDb, Robin will be making an appearance in Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 and will be voiced by Vincent Martella.

Who?  Robin is Batman’s sidekick…but Vincent Martella recently voiced Final Fantasy XIII’s Hope.

Robin hasn’t been officially confirmed for the Arkham Asylum sequel and Kotaku has an update from Warner Bros, who has said “To our knowledge, what you asked about is inaccurate information. We are not yet discussing details for the sequel.”

Well, if we go with the theory that Robin will be appearing in the sequel, it certainly opens the door for a co-op campaign (or similar).  But then who the hell would actually want to play Robin, when they could play The Dark Knight?

… to the first-person shooter genre.

To continue where we left off, announcing the details we had read of Bodycount, we received a press release which reveals a few more interesting details. Firstly Bodycount is being developed with the EGO® Game Technology Platform, which is said to be an evolution of Codemasters’ award-winning engine.

Executive Producer, Tom Gillo said in a press release, “Our core focus for Bodycount is to deliver best-in-class gun play that places the gamer at the heart of the experience. From the jaw-dropping devastation caused by firing into enemies or shredding the world around you in a hail of bullets, Bodycount will crystallise that moment of pulling the trigger into an exhilarating sensory overload of action.”
