DC Universe Online shimmers in the light of the Red and Blue Lantern Corps


The ninth DLC pack "War of the Light – Part 1" adds a new storyline, more power and entirely new game mechanics.

War of the Light - Part I is the first of three upcoming DLC packs revolving around characters able to manipulate the power of the emotional spectrum. In the "Fight of the Light" DLC for DC Universe Online, the light powers of the Lanterns were presented, and players were able to get a taste of the formidable abilities of the power rings which Hal Jordan and Sinestro wielded in the original comics. In War of the Light - Part I, DC Universe Online now adds another light power that is driven by the red light of rage and which can be used both for good as well as for evil. Thanks to these rage powers, players will be able to master a whole new set of gaming mechanics for tanks and employ berserker-like abilities, giving a whole new strategic dimension to group content.

Firefighting action RPG The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny coming to PlayStation


In this sequel to a 16-bit original, Pete and Danny are two firemen sworn to fight fires and save lives.
