Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing a new DLC pack for Far Cry 2 before the end of the month. The pack has been dubbed "The Fortune's Pack," and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $10. The new weapons include a silenced shotgun, the significantly less quiet sawed-off shotgun, and a crossbow, which is probably about as silent as you can get with projectile weaponry. The update will also introduce a Unimog truck and a Quad for more vehicle selection. Those new weapons and vehicles will be available in multiplayer mode as well, which will introduce four new maps: Cheap Labor, Last Resort, Lake Smear, and Fort Fury.

When you pick up Prince of Persia, registering with Ubisoft will unlock a free downloadable skin to make the Prince resemble Altair from Assassin's Creed, reports IGN. Users have to register at the Ubisoft Web site and then link that account to an Xbox 360 Gamertag or PSN screen name, to access the skin. As you can see in the screenshot, Altair's wardrobe remains the same, but his look is the cel-shaded Prince of Persia style.

Gears of War 2 'Top 5 Multiplayer Weapons' clipIf your kill-death ratios in Gears of War 2's multiplayer modes are looking a bit unfavorable, you might want to check out the video above. In it, the editors at GameVideos rank what they believe to be the top five most useful weapons, as well as detail their individual strengths and weaknesses. For example, did you know that the longer-than-average melee reach of the torque bow can bring down most enemies to their knees in just two hits?

Anyone who works with 1UP/EGM Editor-in-Chief James Mielke knows that the guy is pretty darn immersed in his job -- he works as hard as he can to keep creating the coolest content that you see in the mag and on our sites. The past few weeks he was a bit distracted, though. Why? Because he was putting together the final preparations for his proposal to his awesome girlfriend (and now awesome fiance -- she said yes!) Joy. It's something he'd been planning for over a year (I remember when he first told me that he was going to do it), but he had been making all the preparations the past few months.

Celebrate, homebrew fans -- while Sony had managed to evade the attempts of hackers to crack into the latest iteration of the PlayStation Portable, the PSP 3000, it's finally been accomplished. Sure, we knew it was inevitably going to be cracked since it was released in October, but with the talent of hackers these days, I'm surprised when things aren't hacked as soon as they're released.
