Everyone knows that buying a video game is not cheap. At around £40 each for the standard version, plus extra for the limited edition, making games last as long as possible is very important. This is where downloadable content pops up. Many games these days are releasing additional content for you to buy and download. Here are just a few to be aware of it you are continuously looking at your games looking for something new.
If you can’t get enough of the Halo games, but you’re getting bored of the multiplayer maps, maybe it’s time for you to buy some of the new content that’s available. There are currently 3 downloadable packs with new maps, there is the Cold Storage Map which is a single map and this one is free, then there is the Heroic Map Pack and the Legendary Map Pack which both cost 800 Microsoft Points. Both of the packs that cost 800 MS points come with some brand new achievements for you to unlock. However, if you already have these, then you’ll be pleased to know that there is a brand new pack coming out on April 9th which yet again will cost 800 MS points.
Just like Halo 3, the guys behind Gears of War 2, Epic, have released a bundle of maps that you can download to make your multiplayer experiance even better. Gears 2 has three different map packs available, the Flashback Multiplayer Map Pack which contains 5 new maps for a small fee of 400 MS points. The following 2 packs will cost you 800 MS points each and they are the Combustible Multiplayer Map Pack which allows you to play through 3 new maps, and also the recently released Snowblind Multiplayer Map Pack.
If first person shooter games are not really your thing, then how about some extra content for the best skating game out there, Skate 2. There are 5 different packs available to buy and they cover things from new skate areas to new filming features. First there is the San Van Classic Pack which allows you to skate in 3 areas from the first game, there is also some new achievements to unlock in each of these areas, this pack will cost you 800 MS points. The next pack is the Drydek’s Fantasy Plaza Pack, this one will cost you 400 MS points and it allows you to skate around the inspiration for Rob Drydek’s Fantasy Factory show. The final packs don’t come with any new maps but they may be interesting to buy, the first one being the Filmer Pack, this costs 600 MS points and it updates the film feature with new angles and views aswell as extra ways to spice up your moves. If you fancy changing the look of your skate then this next pack is for you, it’s called the Throwback Pack and it’s free, so no reason not to get it and it basically comes with new apparel for your skater. The final pack is mainly for the lazy gamer, it’s called the Time is Money Pack and unlocks all the skaters, areas and gear for only 400 MS points.
Reaching the end of the post here, however, just 2 more games to tell you about. The next game is Mirror’s Edge, so if you love running across the tops of buildings while being timed, then this pack is just for you. It’s called the Pure Time Trials Pack and will costs you 800 MS points, and what you get for your money is 9 new time trials across 7 whole new areas, there are no cops and no guns to slow you down, just pure agility maps that push you to the limit and get you playing at your best. Yet again, with this pack come some new achievements for the game.
The final game is Fallout 3. This game has 2 content packs that extend the campaign and take you to new areas to fight against new enemies. Both of these packs cost 800 MS points, the first one is The Pitt, this one requires you to travel to Pittsburgh, now called The Pitt, and uncover the secret that has caused the people of The Pitt to be attacked by disease and mutation. The second pack is the Operation: Anchorage pack which takes you into the military campaign where you have to fight against Chinese Communist Invaders, but you can leave your old weapons behind as you can get your hands on some of the new gear available like the Gauss Rifle.
That’s all i’m going to write about at the moment, but be sure to keep an eye on the new content for your favorite games and I hope this post keeps you playing some of your old games that just get left on the shelf.
