Today in Gaming - 4/19/11: Portal DLC Backlash, PlayStation Home Overhaul

The response by some angry gamers to Portal 2's day one downloadable content struck me as pretty strange. Normally I'd understand the outrage over this sort of thing, but this is different than most scenarios. The content in question is completely optional and it's not as if it's real content (like levels) that some players will miss out on by not paying up -- it's simply customization options that make your co-op character look a bit funnier than the rest. If it had been something more substantial, sure, but under the circumstances I can't blast Valve, especially when it's offered so much free content for Team Fortress 2.

Today's highlights:

• Rockstar Games will reportedly produce games for Nintendo's rumored new console.
• Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is coming to iPhone and iPod Touch in the next day.
• Ocarina of Time 3D features a new boss mode and video hints.
• PSP Go is apparently being phased out.
• Harmonix has "significant news" to reveal at E3.
• Portal 2 review
• Mortal Kombat review
• Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception: 13 New Things Courtesy of Multiplayer
• Mortal Kombat fatality guide
