Everyone seems to love the Burnout series. And Namco Bandai seems to love it so much that they’ve decided the next entry in the Ridge Racer series should follow in the tire tracks of one of Burnout’s famous wrecks.

Dragon Age II demo coming February 22

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Bioware and EA have announced today that a special demo for the highly anticipated Dragon Age II will be coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on February 22, 2011. Players will choose one of three classes and play through the prologue, learning more about the new protagonist Hawke. The demo then progresses to the new location of Kirkwall where they will meet the deadly smuggler and potential love interest Isabella. Completing the demo will unlock Hayder’s Razor, which grants additional health, mana, and combat abilities in the full retail version of the game. This seems to be a new promotional tool by EA, as the Bulletstorm demo also included unlocks for the full retail version upon completion.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal – sample the game and if you like it, here’s a bonus to use in the retail version. Dragon Age II is set to release on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on March 11, 2011.

New Homefront release date revealed… March 15

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Ryan Littlefield

Through a post on Homefront’s own Twitter account, the new release date of March 15th has been revealed. This is the US release date for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions; the UK will have to wait a few days longer (until March 18th). The game has been pushed back several times for various reasons, but it looks as though it will finally make its way to shelves soon enough… just a week later than expected. It seems as though the publishers have about as much vision on a shipping date as the character on the game’s cover art.
