A few months ago we reported that Dark Void Zero, the downloadable action game for the Nintendo DS that also serves as a prequel to the main Dark Void game, would be coming to the PC. Today Capcom announced that the PC version would be released via Steam on April 12. The original DS version was meant to be a retro game release as if it was made for a NES 8-bit console system.

The PC port of Dark Void Zero will contain some new features such as Steam achievements and leaderboards. It will also have an exclusive secret ending that can be unlocked. Pricing for the PC port of the game has yet to be announced.

Officially Capcom's release plans for their sci-fi shooter sequel Lost Planet 2 is that it's coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. However there's also been evidence in the past year that the game could get a PC release. Big Download did a quick check of the ESRB data base on their web site to see if there's a PC game.

As it turns out the title is listed as coming to the Windows PC platform in addition to its console versions. Now the question is when will the game be released. While demos for the Xbox 360 and PS3 ports were released several months ago Capcom recently delayed most of its titles. At the moment there's no word on when the full version of Lost Planet 2 will be made available.

If you want to pay for things and look (kinds) cool doing it, you might want to consider the just launched Capcom pre-paid Visa debit card. The cards have images such as the above one for Bionic Commando. You can also choose one with a Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5 graphic image.

If you load up the card not only can you use it anywhere Visa is accepted you get special discounts when you buy Capcom games. You can also get cash back and gain Capcom Unity points that can be spent on things like downloads, merchandise and more. Capcom Unity point could also be used for things likean "all-expense paid trip to major video gaming events, be written into a game, have lunch with a game producer and much more." There's even ways to get VIP access to Capcom media events and "Line-cutting at major events such as Comic-con and others." It might be worth it to sign up just for that.
