Daily News - 7th March 2012 - Peter Molyneux, Lollipop Chainsaw Release Date and More Battlefield 3 DLC
Peter Molyneux Has Left Lionhead
Lionhead Games, makers of games Black & White and Fable, have lost their visionary leader in Peter Molyneux. He set the company up 15 years ago and has become pretty eclectic since, definitely outshining Lionhead itself. He had the following to say on leaving the company:
"It is with mixed emotions that I made the decision to leave Microsoft and Lionhead Studios, the company that I co-founded in 1997, at the conclusion of development of Fable: The Journey.
I remain extremely passionate and proud of the people, products and experiences that we created, from Black & White to Fable to our pioneering work with Milo and Kate for the Kinect platform. However, I felt the time was right to pursue a new independent venture. I'd like to thank the team at Lionhead, as well as our partners at Microsoft Studios for their support, dedication and incredible work over the years."
He's gone onto another company called 22cans, along with 1 or 2 other old Lionhead employees.

Lollipop Chainsaw Release Date Isn't Too Far Off
Just a few months to wait for mental zombie-killer Lollipop Chainsaw, as it will launch on June 12th (in America atleast). It looks pretty mental, and with lots of upskirt camera shots... which is fine.

Battlefield 3 Has 3 More DLCs Planned
The Back To Karkand pack for Battlefield 3 came out a few months ago, and we haven't heard about anymore add-ons since then, until today ofcourse. Dice, the developers of Battlefield 3, have 3 more DLC packs planned, each one will have a different theme: "Close Quarters" will add a smattering of small maps to make shotguns OP as fuck, "Armored Kill" will add new vehicles, and apparently the biggest maps in the history of any Battlefield game, and the final pack will be called "End Game" and no details have been revealed about it, but I imagine every weapon is a nuke and every vehicle is the size of the moon. A guy can dream!
