Naughty Dog continues to expand the online multiplayer modes of Uncharted 2. The "Siege Expansion Pack" is its second premium gameplay add-on, following February's patch. The new pack adds a brand new co-op game type, two new multiplayer maps, six new skins and eleven new Trophies.
"Siege" mode is an expansion of the "Survival" game type, in which a team of two or three players must defend a territory and survive against an ever-increasingly difficult set of enemies. In addition to the new mode, two new maps will be added for competitive play: "The Highrise" features a series of destroyed and under-construction buildings, based on the Nepal map from the single player campaign. "The Museum" is based on the tutorial level from the story, featuring a number of secret climbing routes to get a better vantage point.
The add-on will be available on April 22nd on the PlayStation Store. For a list of all the new Trophies, check past the break.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review…
It would’ve been nice to see more variety in the things it attempts to teach your child, but it’s no different than a DVD they choose to watch over and over again. There’s a good chance your 3-6 year old will get some decent mileage out of this title, [...]

A portion of an N-Sider review…
The core game doesn’t lend itself too well to long stretches of play, but for quicker sessions it feels pretty good. The antics of the ridiculously adorable tanks will likely bring a smile to your face. It may not live at the top of the DS puzzle pantheon, but it’s [...]

You ever pass by an argumentative couple and think, man, some people just shouldn't have kids? Sure, that may be an overly judgmental conclusion, but, you know, maybe some people just shouldn't. Case in point: Freaky, telepathic demon women and their obsessed possessed partners.
Of all the shouldn't-have-kids candidates, you'd think demon women would be at the top of the list. Alas, having already given birth to F.E.A.R. characters Point Man and Paxton Fettel, Alma is pregnant again and set to have her third child in F.E.A.R. 3. They say that the third time's the charm, but something tells us this kid doesn't have a bright future.

Bubble Bobble is one of those games that I can always sit down with and get enjoyment from. It’s such a simple idea, yet it’s pretty damn addictive. Sure, going through some of those stages can be torture, especially when you’re in two player, but that torture is part of the fun! [...]
Speaking with Joystiq at yesterday's Konami Gamers Night event, Hudson producer Shinichi Kasahara told us that he hopes his upcoming Wii title Lost in Shadow will someday see release on both PS3 and Xbox 360. When asked whether or not his team has any interest in developing for the HD consoles and their motion controllers, Kasahara said, "In addition to hopefully transferring [Lost in Shadow] to those consoles, we are also actually already brainstorming a couple of different ideas that we're probably going to develop for Natal and Move."
Look for our hands-on with the Wii version of Lost in Shadow and our full interview with Kasahara-san coming soon.
