The 2nd round of DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV which is rumored to be titled "Blood and a Four Leaf Clover" would focus on the Irish gangsters known as the MacReary Brothers.

As i am sure you have all heard the rumors about Microsoft working on there version of the Wii remote for the Xbox 360, it would seem they have now decided to take the next step in production of the new "Microsoft Magic Wand" or so it would seem.
EDGE reports: Microsoft's chief technology officer J Allard filed a patent application for a “magic wand” device in November 2007, it has emerged.
According to the patent application, the device can "utilise one or more sensor from a collection of sensors to determine an orientation or gesture in connection with the wand.”
It is also said to be able to detect the person holding it and automatically display their avatar on screen, and communicate in "a manner similar to a cellular phone or walkie-talkie with other wands," reports TachFlash.
While Microsoft has chosen not to comment on the patent application, growing speculation that the firm is working on an Xbox 360 motion sensing camera could mean that the wand peripheral is no longer in development.
I cant say that should any of the items talked about here get made that i would even look at them since i don't want the 360 to turn in to the next Wii, family fun is fine but thats not why i play.

Electronic Arts Inc and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today confirmed that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince™ video game will be in stores across the world from 30th June 2009*, just ahead of the Warner Bros. Pictures’ film based on J.K. Rowling’s sixth book in the Harry Potter series.
In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year.

For the guys out there that think what could Guitar Hero add to a part five other then tracks to keep the gravy train rolling, well it must be party mode and USA Today has all the details on this and more such as a hand full of tracks that are set for the new Guitar Hero 5 game.
USA Today reports: The newest version of the music game, due this fall for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and PS2 (no price set), lets up to four players rock out on whatever instrument they want, all on lead guitar, if they choose.
And a new competitive Fest mode lets four players at home (and up to eight online) battle against each other for top scores. As the song plays, when a player misses a note, they lose momentum points and must hit 20 straight notes to regain the momentum. “It becomes a little more competitive,” says project director Brian Bright.
There’s also new artists including Tom Petty (Runnin Down a Dream) and the White Stripes (Blue Orchid). Other new tunes on the songlist: The Rolling Stones (Sympathy for the Devil), Bob Dylan (All Along The Watchtower), Santana (No One To Depend On), Vampire Weekend (A-Punk), Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire) and Kings of Leon (Sex on Fire).
And those wanting some funky music can rock to Stevie Wonder’s Superstition. For that song, the Guitar Hero designers tracked Wonder’s electronic clavinet keyboard for players to try to match notes to. “It feels right,” Bright says. “We can’t pass up a chance to get one of Stevie Wonder’s best songs.”
Since 2005 when the first Guitar Hero was released, the franchise has generated more than $2 billion. At first, players would match colored notes on a moving music highway with keys on plastic guitar-shaped controllers. Last year’s Guitar Hero World Tour added drums and vocals -- as did Rock Band in 2007.
Guitar Hero 5’s songlist has a fresh feel, with one-fourth of the music having come out in the last 18 months and more than half from this decade. “We have a lot of new indie artists as well and Iron Maiden as more classic rock or heavy metal,” Bright says. “We’ve been trying to get the White Stripes and they have finally come around.”
The biggest hit, Bright says, may be the party play mode that lets people join a song while it is playing and switch instruments or difficulty level mid-song, too. “If you played any of our previous games, getting into a game is kind of a pain especially with multiple people with different instruments,” Bright says. “This is a perfect mode for parties. You can load up playlists with your favorite songs and just let that run and people can jump in when they want and the music never stops.”
Since i know for a fact that gamers love there old school games and any though back to them you can make a safe bet this this game will sell a pile of copys (if you could pile up DLC) and just to make sure it sells they have picked a game that contains any gamers second favorite pastime, Nazi killing.
IGN report reads as follows: A couple months ago an Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) listing appeared for an Xbox Live Arcade version of the classic Wolfenstein 3D. The update is now official, as it has received its own product info page over at Xbox.com. The release date says "TBD," but at least we know it's coming.
Wolfenstein 3D was one of the seminal first-person shooters when it arrived back in 1992. It lacked a multiplayer component, and it doesn't look like any multiplayer is being added to the XBLA version – the product page says it's a one-player game. Nerve is developing the port and Activision is publishing. Activision is also publishing the upcoming new Wolfenstein game.
