Hey Xbox 360 owners, you ready for some new multiplayer maps on Modern Warfare 2?  Good, because they will be available on March 30!  If you are playing the game on PC and PlayStation 3, you need to wait until what has only been mentioned as "a later date".  The details outside of the release date have not been revealed yet, but according to the viral site Mapathy.com, we can expect details soon.

Microsoft has released some new screenshots of the Citadel from the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack. Hit up the gallery for all of the Spartany goodness.

The downloadable offerings from Nintendo this week don't really include a bunch of awesome games, but there are a couple that I wouldn't mind trying.  First off, the Virtual Console gets Final Fantasy II (a.k.a. Final Fantasy IV) on the Super Nintendo.  Then, WiiWare gets Max & the Magic Marker, and Dracula: Undead Awakening (originally a PSN title for the PSP).  DSiWare also gets the Undead game, as well as a card game, a game that teaches Spanish, and a Flip interactive book.

This week we've got some big titles coming out. Yakuza 3 hit the PS3, Sam & Max 2: Beyond Time and Space lands on PC and Wii, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger gets a PSP edition... and the one most everyone has been waiting for Final Fantasy XIII hits the 360 and PS3.

Another magazine cover, another game sequel announced.  The next issue of Nintendo Power has revealed Scribblenauts 2, the sequel to what I thought was one of the best games released on the Nintendo DS last year.  The new game, which is scheduled to be released this Fall, will not only add over 10,000 more items and 120 new levels, but they are also giving the game new controls (the only thing I really had an issue with in the original) and the ability to use adjectives with regular words.  As long as that means I can spawn myself a radioactive penguin, I'll be happy!

It's the first Friday of March, and we are here with another episode of the DigitalSomething Podcast.  This week, we talk about Sony's PlayStation3 misstep, Activision Vs. Infinity Ward, and the Portal sneakiness from Valve. Of course, this was recorded on Wednesday, and we didn't know then what we now know thanks to today's news.

With the release of a new Sims game, you can bet to find a multitude of expansions made for it. Most of these expansions usually add a new location, or job ladders, more house decor/clothing or even pets. Expansions come with the territory when you are talking about The Sims, and The Sims 3 is no exception. But never before has a Sims expansion done what The Sims 3: Ambitions looks to do.
