New Releases: Resident Evil 6, NBA 2K13, Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection, More
The frightful month of October kicks off with the release of Resident Evil 6 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. If you’d prefer a more complete Resident Evil experience, Capcom is also releasing Resident Evil 6 Archives for the Xbox 360 (which includes Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD, Resident Evil 4 HD, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, and Resident Evil: Degeneration on DVD) as well as the Resident Evil 6 Anthology on the PS3 (which includes Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and Resident Evil 4 HD).
The scariness continues (OK, not really) with NBA 2K13, which will be available for the PC, PS3, PSP, Wii, and Xbox 360.
A quartet of Nintendo-published handheld games will also make their way into stores this week. But because Amazon and Nintendo are having some kind of spat, it’s easy to overlook them. There’s Pokemon Black 2/Pokemon White 2 for the DS and Crosswords Plus and Art Academy: Lessons For Everyone! for the 3DS.
Finally, EA has collected 17 classic strategy games and bundled them together as Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection , exclusively for the PC.
A huge number of new downloadable games will also be available this week. Check back soon for more details on all of those titles.

Daily Scoop: September 17, 2012 – Borderlands 2 tonight!
I am freaking out over how excited I am about Borderlands 2 coming out at midnight tonight. Please don’t expect me to be coherent for a few days. I’m going to be destroying everything I see in Pandora for at least the first 24 hours. I’m playing it on the PlayStation 3, which seems to be depressing some of my friends, but oh well. I’m doing this! I’m making it happen.
Interested in playing with my friends and me while we wreak havoc across the planet? Leave a comment here or tweet at us (@WarpZoned) and tell me why you think you’re worth it. The luckiest person will get an invite to my PSN friends list and can see how pathetic my trophy collection really is.

Huge Rock Band DLC sale this week!
Today, Harmonix announced that they are “slashing” (it’s a Guns n’ Roses reference, people) prices of over 1,100 downloadable songs and packs in the Rock Band Store by half! Furthermore, every song is compatible with the recently-released Rock Band Blitz.
Here’s the official update schedule from the Rock Band forums:
Here is the expected timing for the roll out of discounts on different consoles in different regions. This is a HUGE update (seriously, we’re discounting more DLC than most games have ever released) so there are a lot of moving pieces and things may not go 100% to plan, but we’ll update if things look like they’re changing.
Tuesday September 18th
Xbox 360 (worldwide) will be updating in a gradual roll out, and all pricing is expected to update by noon ET.
Nintendo should be updating at the same time that Wii DLC usually goes live.
Sony America (SCEA) is expected to update at the same time that PS3 DLC usually goes live.
Wednesday September 19th
Sony Europe (SCEE / Sony International) is expected to update when PS3 DLC usually goes live.
If you check in and content is not appearing with the new pricing, sit tight and it may be updating shortly. We’ll be keeping an eye on things on our end to make sure we catch any content that slips through the cracks. Enjoy!
So get those points ready! For a list of all the songs included in the sale, click here!
