AVP console versions no longer supported
It seems for all those people that purched Aliens vs. Predator on consoles and were hoping for a patch to make online better, adding wanted features or new maps are now screwed.Clumsyorchid, community manager for the title, has confirmed that the console patches have be cancelled.
“I’ve just received a mail this AM regarding patches for the console versions of AVP and I regret to inform everyone that these have sadly been scrapped.
I had previously made a claim that these were coming and at the time, this was very much on the table. For the console community, I apologize, as I know there are many features and updates that you’d like to see. I’ll keep fighting internally for this to happen, but until I hear otherwise, there will not be a console patch for either Xbox or PS3.”
Sadly this is not the first time that SEGA have published a game that needed patches and they just stop supporting it. This is an issue SEGA should fix, also release those needed patches faster. Where are the Alpha Protocol patches? At least PC users get future patches, lucky them.

Alpha Protocol getting patched
Chris Avellone from Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed that they are working on a patch for Alpha Protocol. They stated the reason that they have not released it yet was because of SEGA.
“We wanted to release something fairly quickly based upon some feedback we were getting. I think [SEGA] wanted to take a different approach by gathering more information over a longer period of time and provide a patch then. That’s what we’re figuring out right now.”
So what about DLC? This seems like the type of game that would benefit from such a thing, just like Bioware games. Don’t hold your breath.
“I don’t know if [SEGA is] talking about that at all yet. I can say that we’re not working on any DLC right now. We’d love to, but we’re not.”
With the game dropping to $39.99 already, maybe its the prefect time to get the game?

Metal Sonic & Death Egg Zone now on Xbox Live [update]
We know that this DLC for SEGA & Sonic All-Stars Racing came out early on the UK PSN store, that they had to take it down. Now it is up on Xbox Live (Europe) for 800 MS Points. Yes, we know that the DLC was taken off the PSN store, most likely will come out later today for PSN users.
Want to know if the new character and course are worth your hard earned Microsoft Points? Check out someone playing the DLC on the PS3 version above.
[Edit] AAUK is saying that there is a pricing issue with the DLC and not to buy it. I assume it was suppose to be 560 MS Points, not 800 MS Points. [/Edit]

Valkyria Chronicles’ latest DLC missing English voices
If you have played Valkyria Chronicles and its last 3 DLCs, you would know that they feature English (and optional Japanese) voice overs. It seems that the choice is now gone in the latest DLC titled The Challenge of the Edy.
Why did SEGA take out the English voice overs? Most likely to cut cost. Seems that SEGA is really penny pinching now-a-days. I wonder if Valkyria Chronicles 2 will be Japanese only?
