Spoiler Alert: If you have not played the new DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, and have also been living under a rock that has no ethernet, and have no friends who have discussed its events with you, then you may want to travel back in time to a simpler age when websites were not around to spoil games.-

AH: Iron Man on Playstation Home, War Face Update
Starting tomorrow (29th April), Playstation Home users will be able to access a free Iron Man mini game, located in the Audi Space of Home. The game will have your Home Avatar suit up and fly a winding course through a skyscraper jungle collecting reactors and avoiding mines, trying to get as a low a time as possible.
Why a low time? Well, when the competition period is over (June 2010) the 10 fastest times on the leaderboard will get to keep the Iron Man armour for their Avatar.War Face Update
We’re still waiting for the final votes to come in on Round 2, so if you haven’t voted, please do so here.

Beta End Date announced by MS
According to OXM’s Ryan McCaffrey, Microsoft has just sent out a press release which lists May 19 as the end date for the Halo Reach Beta. You’ve got a bit over two weeks to beat the crap out of it… (It’s still possible it’ll be extended; Bungie’s been saying all along that if they need more data, they’ll keep it going.) Update: I’m an idiot, this information is fully on view at Bungie.net – along with other goodies about the leadup. Be sure to check your ODST disc tomorrow for an introduction to the beta starring Aisha Tyler!(Louis Wu 22:27:32 UTC)
