Another Friday, another weekend of enticing game sales.

Perhaps most importantly, GoGamer's 48 Hour Madness sale includes a $35 copy of Dawn of War 2. That's a great price on a game you probably don't want to miss.

Meanwhile, Steam is selling Capcom's icy shooter Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for a mere $5 this weekend. Which begs the question: who wins in a fight, Noby Noby Boy or Lost Planet?

Publisher Capcom has released several new screenshots of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition (PC, X360), a repackaging of the 2007 shooter with a number of additions to the game's multiplayer component, including new weapons, maps and modes.

Colonies includes three new single-player modes as well—score attack, boss rush, and off-limit—with off-limit featuring increased movement speed, more powerful weapons, and unlimited ammo.

Capcom today officially announced the North American release details for Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions Colonies Edition, an expanded version of the original Lost Planet.

The revamped third person shooter arrives on Xbox 360 and PC on May 27, priced at $29.99. The Xbox 360 edition of the game will be packaged as the Platinum Hits version of Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions.

Colonies features a number of additions to the game's multiplayer component, including new weapons, five new characters, new camera views, new maps and modes. It also packs three new single-player modes-- score attack, boss rush, and off-limit--with off-limit featuring increased movement speed, more powerful weapons, and unlimited ammo.

Saved games from the original will not be compatible with the new edition, and those playing the original will not be able to face off against Colonies owners online. However, Colonies will support cross-platform online play, allowing PC and Xbox 360 players to duke it out.

The title had been more or less confirmed by leaked achievements lists, trademark filings, and a recent blowout of the game in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. On the company's official blog, Capcom PR rep Chris Kramer called the title "the worst-kept secret at Capcom in recent memory."

The first details on Capcom's long-rumored Lost Planet: Colonies have appeared, revealing the title to be a beefed-up version of the original Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, which debuted on PC and Xbox 360 last year.

According to the latest issue of Japanese publication Famitsu, the revamped third person shooter will arrive on Xbox 360 and PC, packing new weapons, a new character, new monsters, and new multiplayer maps and modes. Of those new modes, one allows players to battle as the insect-esque Akrid.

Suppporting cross-platform multiplayer, Lost Planet: Colonies hits Japanese retailers in May. Capcom has yet to specify a date for the North American release, though it has already been rated by the ESRB.

There is no word yet on a possible PlayStation 3 edition, though the PS3 version of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition just arrived at retailers last month.

A new entry in Capcom's Lost Planet franchise may be headed to Xbox 360 and PC, according to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.

A listing for Lost Planet Colonies recently appeared on the ESRB's official site, proudly announcing the title's receipt of a T for Teen rating. The game's moniker game matches a trademark listing made last year, which at the time, set off a flurry of speculation regarding a possible sequel.

Interestingly, the site only lists Lost Planet Colonies for Xbox 360 and PC. While the first entry in the snowy shooting series, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, arrived on those two platforms last year, a PlayStation 3 edition--packed with bonus content, including new single-player and multiplayer characters--is currently slated to arrive February 26.

Shacknews has contacted Capcom for more information, though a response has yet to be received. However, responses to other publications have consisted of an image reading "Stay Tuned," suggesting that an announcement is inbound.

The PlayStation 3 version of the once-Xbox 360 exclusive Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will be in stores February 26. Publisher Capcom, which developed the game internally, provided the date along with several new screenshots.

Billed as an Xbox 360 exclusive when it hit in early 2007, the title was later ported to the PC, with a PS3 version eventually confirmed as well.

The PS3 edition contains all of the downloadable multiplayer maps released for the other versions, along with Dead Rising (X360) protagonist Frank West and the ever-iconic Mega Man as multiplayer characters.

Over at GameSpot you can find a Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Q&A. Producer Jun Takeuchi is asked about bringing the game to Windows, creating the DirectX 10 version and the lack of Live support.
