Some parody promo shots from the sequel to the LEGO Batman game. Cute.

UNDERWEAR. I WILL BE BUYING THIS BECAUSE CUTE UNDERWEAR. EA has just announced the upcoming The Sims 3 Diesel Stuff, available in July. It adds three dozen wardrobe items for men and women, many from the Diesel spring/summer 2012 line, as well as home furnishings and decor items. You can pre-order the pack now for the standard $20.

The Tomb Raider reboot (which you may remember, I’m somewhat a fan of) won’t be joining us this holiday season. In a statement on the official Eidos message board, Crystal Dynamics Head of Studio Darrell Gallagher announced news of the delay, saying:
“Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.
“We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve.”
As a means to perhaps stay the fury of the fans, Eidos also released the above screen shot. And it’s so blurry I’m tempted to think they gave us a crappy one just so we’d anticipate the game less, thus soothing our wrath.

Valve will soon be letting us play robo God with some upcoming free Portal 2 DLC. Entitled “Perpetual Testing Initiative”, Valve says it’ll be ready for download on May 8. With it you will be able to play new Portal 2 puzzles of your own making, sharing your creations through the newly minted Steam Workshop.
Will you be making some test chambers of your own?
I can’t believe it’s almost here. Ten years, man, TEN YEARS. I can’t believe I’ve been waiting for Diablo III for ten years. And the wait is almost over.
BTW if you’re playing the beta, they’re shutting down the servers on May 1st. Also you’re an asshole for having a beta key when I don’t. The full Diablo III debuts May 15.
The Plants Vs. Zombies crew were everywhere at PAX East, and damn was it fun. You hear about Rock Band Blitz yet?
