The social network space of Playstation Home gets a new Resistance 2 themed area, Sony announced today. The new area features a recreation of the Chicago Railway Station level from the popular third-person-shooter, where interested players will fend off wave after wave of enemy Chimera forces with a four-barrelled torrent gun. The space is available through Home’s central plaza, blocked off for only those users 18 and up, with a promotional code for the first 3,000 users. Those lucky enough to get a code will net a free Resistance virtual t-shit to customize their Home avatar.

The “Flash and Thunder” pack, the second package of additional content for the Playstation 3 exclusive shooter, Killzone 2 was announced today. Containing two of the most beloved maps from the original Killzone on the Playstation 2, “Beach Head” and “Southern Hills,” the stages have been completely remade for the newer system capabilities. “Beach Head” sees the protagonist ISA defending a coastal, small stronghold against a Helghast invasion force, and “Southern Hills,” tasks players with inflitrating a Helghast compound while traveling across a wide open combat field with little hiding spots. The content will arrive on the Playstation Store on June 11th.

Betheseda Softworks Europe announced today that the DLC episodes previously exclusive to the PC and Xbox 360 versions of their post-apocalyptic shooter-RPG, Fallout 3, will make it to the PS3 starting this June. Operation Anchorage will be the first available, with The Pitt and Broken Steel being made available separately in 4-6 week increments. A new update for Sony’s system will allow users of the Playstation Network to download the DLC episodes, and will be announced shortly. In addition to the re-releases, two new DLC episodes will make their way to all three platforms:
• Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. (made available in late June to PC/360 owners, PS3 owners will be able to download after the incremental releases of the first three episodes)
• Mothership Zeta – The aliens have returned, and they’re pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you’re tough enough to survive. (made available for PC/360 owners in late July, PS3 release to be announced)
In addition, hard disc versions of these updates will be made available later this year, with Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack #1 and #2 set to release for the PC and 360 in June and August, respectively. And a Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, similar to the same edition of Oblivion, will be available for all three platforms this October.
