Blur Pushed back to 2010
Yep, now you get to add another game to the very long list of games that are being pushed back to 2010. According to a recent press release by Activision, Blur will not be releasing in November, like previously mentioned. Now what reason would they have to push back yet another game into the already crowded 2010? Well according to Activision, they are planning on using the extra time to enhance the games multiplayer gameplay.
To be honest, I just take this as another excuse for game developers not to go against Modern Warefare 2. And you know what? I am totally right because Activision Blizzard admits it in their press release. For more information, you can head over to TeamXbox and check out the press release.

Batman: Arkham Asylum DLC Dated!
That is right! This morning Eidos announced that on September 17th their new Insane Night map pack will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
The map pack will contain 2 maps. The first map, named Totally Insane, will be a Freeflow Combat map where you will be able to take on numbers of escaped lunatics in the Asylum’s records facility. The second map, named Nocturnal Hunter, is an Invisible Predator map where Batman can use Arkham’s watchtowers to stay hidden and silently take out the Joker’s henchmen below.
Now before you think twice about whether or not to get the DLC for this wonderful game, let me give you the price: FREE! That is right, even if you are still not finished with those challenge maps like me, Edios is going to give you even more challenge maps to complete. For more information on the Insane Map Night Pack, be sure to check out IGN for more details.
Left 4 Dead 2′s Carnival Campaign
By now I am sure that 
everyone has heard about Valve’s upcoming sequel (or as some like to call.. an add-on) for the hit game Left 4 Dead. But before you accuse Valve about making a $60 add-on, take a look at some of the new details provided by Eurogamer about Left 4 Dead 2′s campaign Dark Carnival.
Let me start out by saying this, if endless hoards of zombies were not enough for you in the first Left 4 Dead, how about zombies dressed as clowns? The campaign will cover a vast area, spanning from a hill side, through a hotel, and ending up in a carnival. Now along with this campaign, Valve has also shared with us some new features, including an electric guitar melee weapon and a clown zombie with the ability to call other zombies. The Jockey, a new special infected, has also been relieved. Simply put, the Jockey will jump on a survivor’s back and ride him/her until another player kills the zombie.
If details on the campaign are not enough for you, be sure to check out Eurogamer’s screenshots of the new Carnival campaign as well as other announced campaigns!

Some of the questions you were left with in Chapter 1 will be answered. Who is the person on the ship with Guybrush at the end of Chapter 1? What is LeChuck doing with Elaine? Despite the answers to your current questions, the Siege of Spinner Cay is going to leave you with just as many unanswered questions and likely have you fishing for more clues.
