Are you ready to put the finishing touches on your journey through Final Fantasy XIII-2?  Well Square Enix says ready or not here it comes … the final set of downloadable content for the game.  These include two new episodes, “Snow’s Story: Perpetual Battlefield” and “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess,” along with White and Black Mage outfits and “A Wondrous Wardrobe,” which includes 16 different costumes for Mog, the moogle.

 About “Snow’s Story: Perpetual Battlefield”:

Snow is engaged in battles at the Coliseum after being separated from his fiancée, Serah. The episode also features a battle against the “Arbiter of Time,” who has been watching events unfold at the Coliseum. Snow should pose a difficult challenge to players and will allow them to end the Coliseum battles on a high note, and ultimately unlock Snow as a party member. 

About “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess”:

This DLC reveals the arduous battle between Lightning and Caius not shown in the main game. Players will be able to adjust the difficulty level and play as Lightning, who uses special abilities available only in this episode. Players will also be able to unlock the FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 version of Lightning as a party member. Because the episode includes important information relating to the overall storyline of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, players are encouraged to complete the game prior to playing through this new content.

I didn’t think a few minutes of sniping could hold me over until November but I was dead wrong.  The Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge is surprisingly addictive for the 15 minutes of challenge it provides.  You are Agent 47 and you’re perched atop a building looking for your next target.

There are several ways to execute your target and several ways to ultimately end the Sniper Challenge.  One of the more interesting things about it is the fact that there are different challenges placed throughout the game that will unlock certain items in the full game once it releases.  You have to find a set number of pigeons, eliminate evidence that a stripper was on the scene, find the Gnome .. and somehow pull off an elevator kill while people are watching.

I’ve been playing it nonstop since yesterday.  I’ve unlocked quite a few things for the full game in November that I’m excited to incorporate into my Hitman arsenal.  I suggest you guys pre-order this game so that you can download the Sniper Challenge and enjoy it.  If you don’t want to challenge yourself, then you can challenge me.

The Sniper Challenge has leaderboards for your friends as well as globally.  You’ll be trying to get as many points and eliminate the targets in as many ways as you can .. trust me.  If the full game is anything like the Sniper Challenge, I’ll be one happy Hitman.

For once in your lives I think you need to pre-order a game!  Square Enix is making it really difficult to stick by any hatred of pre-ordering with the announcement of the Hitman: Sniper Challenge pre-order promotion with GameStop.

It’s a stand-alone sniper experience exclusively in North America for GameStop customers who pre-order HITMAN®: ABSOLUTION™.  The HITMAN: SNIPER CHALLENGE pre-order promotion will be available starting May 15, 2012.

HITMAN: SNIPER CHALLENGE is not part of the main game, but a stand-alone experience to reward fans who pre-order HITMAN: ABSOLUTION.  Players can don the suit of Agent 47 as he takes on an exclusive assassination assignment. From a balcony overlooking a rooftop gathering, players will be tasked with taking out Richard Strong, Jr., CEO of Stallion Armaments, along with his entire staff of bodyguards. Skilled players will capitalize on score multipliers, hidden secrets, unlock equipment upgrades and marvel at the many creative ways one can discretely dispose of a body while they work to fulfil their contract in the most efficient way possible.

Yes, you heard it right.  BioShock Infinite, the third installment in the BioShock series, has been delayed until 2013 dismissing its original release date of October 16.  In a letter released today, director Ken Levine issued the statement below.

This was one of my anticipated games this year and to hear about its delay is kind of disappointing. But on the other hand, if it means making a better game then I’m willing to wait. What say you? Are you happy, sad, mad, or just don’t care?
