Pre-orders for Battlefield 3 from Origin come with a free game
EA really, really wants gamers to use Origin. It knows if it can convince gamers to give the service a try just once, it can make long-time customers out of us. Of course, EA needed to tap into the alluring power of Battlefield 3 to lure customers in since Battlefield 3 isn’t being sold on Steam. Pre-orders are already coming with free DLC and access to the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta, but it will also come with a free game.

Xbox Live Update for the week of May 29 through June 4, 2011
It’s a slow week with no new releases for the Xbox Live Arcade. There is a chance to keep your inner LAPD detective happy as L.A. Noire gets two cases in DLC. The Naked City finds Cole Phelps investigating the alleged suicide of a fashion model. Nothing is ever that simple in L.A. Noire. Those who preordered at GameStop get this one for free, otherwise you can buy it for 320 Microsoft Points. ($4) A Slip of the Tongue has you look into a car theft that leads to a huge auto crime ring. Seriously, in 1940s L.A. even simple crimes lead to conspiracies. If Phelps is sent to arrest a jaywalker, it’s probably an attempt to assassinate President Truman. Slip was the Walmart preorder bonus, otherwise it is 320 MP also…

Surprise! I know, usually the Sunday ad deal announcements show up on Gamertell on the Saturday before, but the Target ad is an exception this week because the store has already revealed the video game deals it will have in its March 13-18, 2011 ad.

Now Visceral Games is hard at work to implement a patch for the PC version of Dead Space 2 in order to assist disabled gamers.
