Assassin’s Creed III DLC available with Gamestop pre-orders

20120508asscree3

Lost Mayan Ruins, a DLC mission included with one of the three special editions for Assassin’s Creed III, will be available as a pre-order bonus at Gamestop. There are at least two other DLC missions and a multiplayer package on offer through the various bundles, so assuming other retailer-specific offers pop up soon, there may actually be some way to get them all with one purchase. Assassin’s Creed III is due on October on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Thanks, Shack.

Son, the DC universe is a lot cooler outside of that Adam West live action series. Come in and have a look at the Boy Wonder.

Collecting intel from Killzone 2 will grant you unlockable rewards

killzone2

Collecting Helghast intel in Killzone 2’s single-player campaign will unlock bonus content when you connect to the game’s official site, according to this US PS Blog post.

Once you’ve done the in-game business, connect to Killzone.com to get printable versions of propaganda posters seen in the game, pages from a Helghast soldier’s secret journal or details on the wildlife present in the Maelstra Barrens.

Got good game? Then you can also unlock and download physical objects from the Killzone universe such as the “venerable art of papercraft” which can be viewed on the site.

More ways to interact between the game and the site will be coming in the months to come.
