Mass Effect: Genesis, DLC, Now available on 360 and PC
Mass Effect was released a few years ago for the Xbox 360 and PC. Mass Effect 2 was released, later, for only the 360 and the PC, as well; however, in early 2011, EA decided to release a PS3 version, containing any of the DLC (downloadable content) from the game that was already released for the other systems.
Mass Effect 2 may have been released on the PS3, but Mass Effect was not; Bioware has made their games to where they rely on the choices that you've made in the games before. Mass Effect choices carry over to Mass Effect 2. The reason Mass Effect is not on the PS3 is because Microsoft owns the publishing rights for the original game, while EA owns the publishing rights to any sequels of it.
Because of Mass Effect 2 being released on the PS3 without Mass Effect, they decided to go ahead and include something that allows the player to make choices without it just being a heap of questions thrown at the player; they made a comic called Mass Effect: Genesis.Mass Effect: Genesis was only available on the PS3 version for five months, but it is now finally released on the 360 and PC for 320 Microsoft Points (360) or 320 Bioware Points (PC). If you don't feel like playing through Mass Effect again or you don't want to play it at all, then this four dollar DLC is a great choice; however, I recommend playing the first game, it's very impressive and the comic simply skips way too much of the original game's important and memorable parts.

Portal 2, DLC will be free
Portal 2 came out not too long ago, but Valve has already announced that they're releasing DLC (downloadable content) for the game. Now, it has been revealed that the DLC will be free - and they didn't specify a console, so I'm guessing that means it's free on PC, PS3 and 360.
I'm surprised, because Valve usually only gives it away for free on PC and has to charge on the 360 to cover costs of releasing on the platform; however, this time they have released a game on all three platforms, two of which have Steam - allowing for instant updates through their own systems and cross-platform play between PS3 and PC.

Portal 2, DLC incoming
New Portal 2 DLC is already in the works and will be announced for the Summer of 2011. The game may have just come out within the past few days, but Valve isn't taking a break, yet. They're working full steam to make sure we get to have some awesome DLC as soon as possible.
Usually, Valve gives out DLC for free on the PC and I'm guessing that'll be the same for the PS3, since Steam is now on there (if they ever get PSN running again...). However, 360 users will probably have to pay for it, like usual.

Guitar Hero DLC has finally come to an end, with the series
It seems that Guitar Hero's final DLC (downloadable content) has been released. The Guitar Hero franchise is on hold right now, so no new games are being developed and it's unknown when it might resume. A while back, some thought that the game series was fully cancelled and never continued, but it has been revealed that it will be back at some point. 2012 is the only year in which Activision has confirmed that we won't see Guitar Hero, but it could be far longer into the future before we see another.
I really think that we have enough of this series, anyway; I am tired of seeing 8,000,000,000 of them release every year so I am ready to see it go for now. I want to see more in the future, but it's just not something I want right away.
Guitar Hero has provided lots of interesting things over the past few years; some say it's harder to play than a real guitar, some 8 year old kid was able to play better than anyone and so many other memories... but it's time to move on. Mostly because the world's going to end in 2012, right? Just kidding...
