For those that have ventured down the vocal path and have picked up Lips or Lips Number One Hits, you will have some fairly good DLC for the month of November. After the first Friday of November, you will have a single band featured each month.
Some of the tunes you see this month will come from Marvin Gaye, Lady GaGa, Colbie Caillat, Bananarama, Juice Newton and The Supremes. Maybe it is just me, but did we not get enough of The Supremes in October?
Hit the jump to see the release schedule for each week for the month of November.
Finally, after years of waiting, US Pokemon fans (including Puerto Rico!) will have a legitimate means to catch Arceus.
Nintendo Power revealed the news in issue #248; the Arceus distribution will be at Toys R Us from November 7 through 15. As with previous critter handouts, you’ll just have to show up and download it over the DS WiFi.
Arceus can change its type based on certain held items, which might make it a good pinch-hitter on your team. It is the last final absolute end of the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum generation Pokedex. And if the upcoming HeartGold and SoulSilver releases follow the remake trend and do not add any new types, Arceus could be our last new pokemon for quite a while.
Up until now, odds are that if you encountered somebody with an Arceus… it was a hacked fake. So it will be nice to get a legal version of this rare beast.
Double Fine and Electronic Arts announced the first heaping of DLC for Brutal Legend today, and it looks like we are in store for new maps. Yes, the Tears of the Hextadon map pack will be coming to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on November 3rd and 5th repectively.
Tears of the Hextadon will contain two maps for multiplayer duels online, with the first map taking place on a circular battlefield, while the second will take place on a long and narrow stretch of a canyon. The big news for this map pack is that Playstation 3 owners will get the DLC as a free download if they get the maps before November 19th, while they will be full price on the 360 at the day of launch.
Tears of the Hextadon will cost 400 points on the 360, while the Playstation 3 will charge $4.99 after November 19th. Seems a bit pricey for two maps, but for those that enjoy the stage battles in that game, this will only expand the choices when going online with Brutal Legend.

With the new GTA DLC hitting an Xbox 360 near you today, Rockstar has released a new trailer for the game, that really has little to do with the actual game. It shows us one of the new TV shows that you can watch on a TV in the game called Princess Robot Bubblegum. And it is one of the funniest things I have watched on the web in a while.
Now I just have to figure out what is worse – the fact that I know everything they say in the trailer is true about anime, or the fact that I know all these facts and still watch gobs of anime.

Today Harmonix/MTV Games announced their Halloween-themed DLC pack. And by Halloween-themed, I really mean in a very-very-loosely-connected-by-means-of-slightly-spooky-artist-names kind of way.
Up for offer are three tracks from Rob ZOMBIE (omg! Zombies!), five from WOLFmother (WOLVES! aaaargh!) and . . . um, tracks from the decidedly less amusingly-titled artists Liz Phair and Morningwood. All will be available over the next week in time for your Halloween rock-outs.
Hit the jump for the details.
If you have been under a rock the last month or so, you might not have realized that the Abbey Road album was coming to The Beatles: Rock Band today. To celebrate the occasion, Harmonix has put together a new trailer highlighting the new tracks that you will get to play, along with the new dreamscapes that will accompany the tracks.
The DLC is running about 1320 points or $15.99 on either the Xbox Live Marketplace or Playstation Network for the “Complete the Album” deluxe package. Individual tracks are available on Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for 200 points, $1.99, or 16o MS Points.
Now we just wait for the official word from Vikki and Jordan on the verdict with the additional tracks.

Keeping up with all the music updates, it seems that I have been remiss in letting people know about the updates that have been coming out for Lips on the Xbox 360. Yes, people still play Lips and Microsoft has been releasing regular updates for the year old music title, with a sequel available this month.
This week, we have three new songs, with two of them being most certain buys in my book. The two tracks I would have to recommend are “Chains of Love” by Erasure and “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison. Also coming is “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and featuring Colbie Caillat. Each of these tracks will cost 160 Microsoft points and will be available Friday, October 16th at 2:00 AM PDT.
Today’s PlayStation Blog “Sack it to Me” post has some undeniably cool news: Sony is giving away a LittleBigPlanet DLC pack for free!
Just head to the Sony Wonder website, then go to the partners page and click a button or two to generate a PSN download code. And although Sony Wonder is sort of a soulless, kid-focused Here’s What’s Awesome About Our Family Of Brands And Products corporate site, you don’t have to register or fill out any survey forms to get the code! The Sony Wonder site also has a Free Realms deal: register your account and get a free starter pack. (One month membership, 250 Station Cash and a Tiny Tincture potion. New accounts only.)
The free LBP pack in question is the Norse Mythology Pack, which goes for $3 on the PS Store. You get two full costumes and ten stickers. This is actually one of the few DLC packs I have not already purchased, so I am super-chuffed right now.
Incidentally, the PS Blog entry also says that the Water Beta invite emails are going out next week, and it strongly hints that Uncharted is coming to LittleBigPlanet…
Rock Band fans, you have another big week of downloading in front of you as we have a rather large DLC pack from Alice In Chains, a three pack from the group Breaking Benjamin, two songs from Kulu Shaker and one from Just Kait.
The Alice in Chains pack includes a new song from their first album in 17 years called ” A Looking In View”. The other tracks are from their back catalog of hits including “Would?”, which was prominently featured in the movie Singles.
Also, while I have never heard of the singer Just Kait, I am compelled to buy the song because of its name, “U Suck” That could be a party favorite on the name alone.

One of the updates that was added in the last Games for Windows LIVE client update was the ability for developers to create an in-game marketplace front end. The first game that has seemed to take advantage of this is Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Thursday, we had the announced free DLC for Batman: Arkham Asylum released, so I decided to take the plunge and download the DLC via the in-game marketplace. While you can download it via the standalone client, I figured why leave the game if I can get it in there.
