Mario Kart 8 will be giving you new courses to curse at and new characters to hate as they hit you with a blue shell before you hit the finish line with two DLC packs.
The first will release in November and come with Link, Cat Suit Peach, Tanooki Suit Mario, four new vehicles and eight new courses.
The second releases in May 2015 with Isabelle, Villager, Dry Bower, four new vehicles and eight new courses.
Best part of this is the price. Each pack will cost $7.99 or $12.99 for both. So for 13 bucks you get six new characters, eight new vehicles and sixteen (16!) new courses. Get ready for more bad words than you can imagine.

The single player DLC for The Last of Us, Left Behind, seems to have a Valentine’s Day release date if the picture from the PSN store stays true.
The add-on will be a prequel to my pick for Game of the Year and will feature Ellie and her friend Riley. Only one survives and I will give you one guess who. Of course, Naughty Dog could troll us all and Left Behind is a parallel universe story where Ellie and her friend have to make their way through the Rapture with guest star Kirk Cameron.
The Last of Us: Left Behind will cost $14.99 to download or free to those who purchased a Season Pass last year.
For those impatiently waiting on [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite’s[/amazon_link] Season Pass to pay off, your day is today.
Literally.
Ken Levine and Irrational Games revealed that the first piece of DLC for the Game of the Year candidate would be titled Clash in the Clouds and that it is available today for $5 or nothing for Season Pass holders. In it, you take control of Booker competing against waves of various enemies on four brand new challenge maps. There will be 15 waves of enemies per maps with increasing difficulty. There will be “blue ribbon challenges” which are given out for dispatching enemies in distinct ways.
All of this wonderful, mindless killing will gain you cash which you can spend at the Columbian Archaeological Society where you can buy new Voxophones to listen to, character models to display and even new Kinectoscopes.
But wait! I hear you exclaiming. Weren’t we promised single-player DLC when we ponied up $20 for the Season Pass?
You would be correct and that will come in the form of Burial at Sea, a two-piece DLC that will see Booker and Elizabeth (or at least one version of them) return to Rapture on the night before the underwater city’s great fall. You will control Booker in the first part and players will finally get to control the newly gothic looking Elizabeth in the second part. Levine described Elizabeth’s DLC as more akin to “survival horror” so I am assuming that means she will not be making her way around Rapture with guns a blazing.
No release date was given for Burial at Sea. Both will cost $15 a piece or be included in the Season Pass. So the Season Pass cost us $20 and we will be getting $35 in content. Not a bad deal.
If you bought the Season Pass for [amazon_link id=”B005THAX5Q” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/amazon_link] there is good news on the horizon. A new single-player DLC pack named “Stasis Interrupted” will be releasing for the game. No details have been given for what content will be included on the DLC, but rest assured, it can not possibly make the game any better.
Aliens: Colonial Marines received a disappointing 4.5/10 score in our review back in February. If you still own this game and have the Season Pass I personally wished we made more money from the site so that I could refund you at least the $15 spent on the DLC.
Even as I play through Borderlands 2, Gearbox still rubs me the wrong way when I think about this travesty of a game.
Telltale Games is making the wait on Season Two of their acclaimed The Walking Dead video game a little bit easier to bear. The Walking Dead: 400 Days is a one episode piece of DLC that will focus on five survivors as their lives intersect at a truck stop.
Each survivor has a playable section that you can play in any order as it tells their stories in the first 400 days of the zombie outbreak. You do not need to have played all of Season One of The Walking Dead to enjoy 400 Days, but you must have at least Episode One downloaded on your system to play the new DLC.
The Walking Dead: 400 Days will release in July on 360, PS3, Vita, PC, iOS and Mac for only $4.99. Check out the trailer below.
We here at Nerd Rating are on official countdown to The Last of Us. 16 days until Naughty Dog’s much anticipated post-apocalyptic story is finally in our hands.
Today the studio announced that the game will be getting a Season Pass that will have three DLC packs, two for multiplayer and one for single player. Exactly how the DLC will fit into the single player story is very much a mystery.
The Last of Us Season Pass will cost $20 and will also give buyers character boosts like increased crafting and healing as well as weapon upgrades and a 90 minute documentary titled “Grounded”.
I am a Batgirl fan. Actually the more appropriate statement would be I am a Batgirl addict. I have statues, comics, graphic novels. I can not help but watch every episode of the Adam West batman when Yvonne Craig would be on as Barbara Gordon in Season 3 (seriously, do you not know how hot she was?).
Now Batgirl is the second of four DLC characters for [amazon_link id=”B0088I7L76″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Injustice: Gods Among Us[/amazon_link]. Here we have a video of Barbara taking on The Joker and showing off all of her moves.
And yes, The Joker is wearing his beach attire from The Killing Joke. Please let this be part of the DLC. For a bat fan like me, that is worth almost the price of the game.
Everyone’s favorite bounty hunter is joining NetherRealm’s [amazon_link id=”B0088I7L76″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Injustice: Gods Among Us[/amazon_link]. Lobo will be coming soon to take the beating to every other bastich in the game.
Lobo is the first of four DLC fighters planned for the game. You can download each character separately or purchase the Season Pass for $14.99 which is basically a “Buy 3, Get 1 Free”.
We will keep updating you on the rest of the DLC as we find out.

That was roughly what was running through my head as I watched the reveal trailer for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon in all its VHS tracking glory. I will give you a chance to watch it below then keep scrolling.
Has your mind been sufficiently blown?
Are you thinking, like me, that you will now name your firstborn male child Rex “Power” Colt?
If you want to see more of just how batshit insane and awesome this game is going to be click here for the first fifteen minutes of the game from IGN.
How can having a release date (and therefore proving this thing is real) not be the best part of this announcement? Because now Michael Biehn is confirmed to be in the game and hopefully wipe away any memory I have left of the giant shit that Gearbox took on my chest in Aliens: Colonial Marines. I am just considering this DLC, which does not require a copy of Far Cry 3 to play, as an apology for my 60 bucks that was stolen from me.
Thank you, Ubisoft. Bet you never thought you would see me type that, but the thought of Aliens does weird things to me. Check out the official synopsis below.
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil. Welcome to an 80’s VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who’s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide. Playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon doesn’t require a copy of Far Cry 3.
