Yesterday we were able to finally confirm the release date as well as the content of the Special Edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Included in that Special Edition will be download codes for two DLC characters, available four weeks after the release of the game.

These two characters are Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentine, both returning from their roles in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. New to the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fold will be She-Hulk and Mega Man’s Zero.

Players have had few opportunities to play as She-Hulk with the only exception being her appearance in the classic PlayStation Fantastic Four game. Now she will bring her unique brand of powerhouse sexuality and humor to Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Take a peek at the video below to see Jen Walters kicking butt and looking sassy doing it.

One of the biggest hits this holiday season has already been confirmed to be Left 4 Dead 2. The sequel to last year’s multiplayer hit, the game featured four new campaigns, each with full Story, Versus, Survivor and Scavenger modes.

The new game starred four new survivors as they try to escape from various Southern American environments. But there are still tons of questions left unanswered from the first game like how the infection began, and most importantly what happened to Left 4 Dead’s original four survivors.

Valve has announced that these questions will be answered in early 2010 when Left 4 Dead 2‘s first downloadable content will be released. Valve’s press release states: “Dubbed “The Passing”, the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360. “The Passing” takes place just after the “Dead Center” campaign of L4D2.
