Daily Gaming Tidbits 01/22/10

• If you’re planning on picking up MAG or Mass Effect 2, then you might want to check out Toys R Us. Grab either one & you can get Valkyria Chronicles for $20. I’m not sure how long the promotion will last, but it’s a great deal if you can take advantage of it…

• The first Assassin’s Creed 2 DLC pack has a solid release date now. The Battle of Forli will launch on January 28th for both consoles. Don’t forget the second one will be arriving sometime in February…

• According to Trixie 360, the social media head honcho for the Xbox 360: “More than 100 million songs/tracks for music games have been downloaded through Xbox LIVE – that’s over 90,000 every day!”
