Lost Planet 2 was a good game but could have used a lot of improvements. If done right this game can bring the fans of this series an improved and exciting game. Hopefully the early release date doesn't mean a short and unpolished game. But it could have been being worked on for a long time by now seeing as it has only just been announced. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
The sequel to Lost Planet 2 has finally been announced, but it's under the development watch of Spark Studios, who last worked on the lackluster Legendary and Turning Point.

Fan of Lost Planet and Killzone, or Gears? Well than this should catch your interest, some sweet DLC is coming to Lost Planet 2 in the form of Helghast and Marcus. Get some new skins for the online mode with these to add on packs. So if Ps3 owners get helghast, and 360 owners get Gears, quite a good way to treat each console. Check out the video after the jump.

It's been kind of weird to see a lack of releases on the Wii and DS the last couple of weeks. Really not much there. Of course, it has also been odd to see the number of new releases on the PS3 and 360 during a time of year that typically doesn't get much in the way of games period. Spring is the new Christmas!

"Microsoft's very own Major Nelson just tweeted a couple hints at what games we can expect to see on the show floor of it's press-only event tomorrow night, known as X10 - the list has a couple surprises in it and is not all-inclusive.

Capcom has solidified their Spring release schedule by handing out release dates to Lost Planet 2 (PS3, Xbox 360), Super Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360), Final Fight: Double Impact (PS3, Xbox 360) and Monster Hunter Tri (Wii).
Apparently Capcom's Q1 2010 release schedule was too crowded and in order to avoid having the games compete with each other (and other games) they've decided space to out the releases throughout the fiscal year. As a result of this, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, and the North American release of Monster Hunter Tri have all been delayed. No concrete dates have been given but you can expect these titles to be released any time between April 2010 and March 2011.
"Capcom Europe has today revealed that pre-ordering the forthcoming sequel to 2007’s Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will earn gamers a very special reward.

After many conflicting reports Capcom in the form of PR director Chris Kramer has put to rest the rumors of just what is happening with Lost Planet 2. To be short the game will come out at the same time on both platforms, both PS3 and 360. Though a solid release date is still unable to be pinpointed.
