Called Revolution, the pack comes with four new multiplayer maps, a zombie co-op map called Die Rise and a special Peacekeeper SMG weapon.
Revolution costs 1200 MS Points or if you hold a Season Pass for the game you just hit the download button.
One of the more interesting announcements before [amazon_link id=”B0050SYLRK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Assassins’s Creed 3[/amazon_link] released last year was the announcement of a three-part DLC pack called The Tyranny of King Washington, which takes a look at an alternate reality in which George Washington becomes mad with power and transforms into America’s king instead of first president.
Today it was announced that the first part of the DLC pack would be released on February 19th. The title of Part 1 will be The Infamy and costs $9.99 (800 MS Points) or you can buy the Season Pass for all the DLC for $29.99 (2400 MS Points). For the eight of you that have Assassin’s Creed on the Wii U, the DLC will be available later this year.

Rejoice Playstation owners! Rejoice!
Bethsda has apparently solved the conundrum that is PS3 programming and figured out how to make the downloadable content work for [amazon_link id=”B004HYK8Y8″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Skyrim[/amazon_link].
In February Bethesda will release all three DLC packs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn) to the Playstation Store. For the first week of release all three packs will be 50% off which, to me, seems like a kick in the nuts to PS3 owners. People who have bought this game on November 11, 2011 (granted they haven’t given up by now) have encountered problem after problem including the game basically being broken and unplayable. Then you add onto that crap sandwich with Bethesda saying they could not figure out how to port the DLC onto the PS3 and now after a year of waiting and problems you only have these packs being 50% off…..for a week?? Not even free for PS Plus subscribers?
Let’s hope none of these problems exist when Fallout 4 eventually releases on the PS4.
Crystal Dynamics has announced that there will be no demo released for the upcoming reboot of [amazon_link id=”B004FS8LYK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Tomb Raider[/amazon_link], saying that they did not want to spoil the story in any way and also did not want players to start the game and have a week or so break before having to pick it back up. Seems logical especially given how long we have been waiting on this game, holding off an extra week to get the full version should not bother anyone (except your hardcore trolls).
Also bucking with a recent industry trend is the fact that the game will not offer any kind of season or online pass for it’s downloadable content. This has become the norm for many big titles to offer a $20 or $30 package right at release that includes all future DLC in one package. To me, this says that they may not have a whole lot of DLC planned to justify a $30 charge.
[amazon_link id=”B004FS8LYK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Tomb Raider[/amazon_link] will release on March 5th.
Today Ubisoft released the ‘Deluxe Bundle” DLC pack for the amazing shooter [amazon_link id=”B0050SYV70″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Far Cry 3[/amazon_link]. The pack contains every pre-order bonus that was offered with the game before release through the various different websites and store deals in one simple download. For only $10 or 800 MS Points you will receive The Lost Expeditions, The Monkey Business Pack, The Warrior, and The Predator Pack as well as new animals to hunt and more single and multiplayer weapons.
The ‘Deluxe Bundle’ will include:
For 10 bucks that a good amount of content to add on to an already massive game.
Want to be a member of Seal Team Six without all the years of blood, sweat and tears? How about killing insurgents while hunting Osama Bin Laden for ‘Murica? Well EA is here to grant your wish with the Zero Dark Thirty map pack for [amazon_link id=”B0050SY5BM” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Medal of Honor: Warfighter[/amazon_link]. The new DLC is based on the part of Pakistan where the United States carried out the mission to kill the terrorist leader as well as the name of the upcoming film about the mission.
The new DLC will cost $9.99 but will be free to the people who purchased the limited edition of the game. Also, EA will donate one dollar from every map pack sold to help military and veterans families. Classy move EA.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter Zero Dark Thirty map pack will release on December 18th.
Today sees the release of Skyrim’s third DLC pack, Dragonborn. In it you will travel to the island Solstheim (of Morrowind fame) and hunt down a resurrected person who is claiming to be the first of the Dragonborn.
Now you PS3 owners, I know you have probably already given up on your Skyrim experience and really who can blame you? But Bethesda had some good news for you also saying that the Dragonborn DLC WILL be making its way onto the system in early 2013.
It is truly baffling how Bethesda has not figured out a way to get their PS3 technical issues worked out even now over a year after its release. But it looks like better times are on the horizon Playstation fans.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn is available on XBL and costs 1600 MS Points.
Sorry PS3 owners but Bethesda is rubbing more salt in your wounds.
Today the newest DLC content for Skyrim was announced. Dragonborn will see the resurrection of the first of the dragon born. Whether he is friend or foe is yet to be known. Bethesda has only released the trailer below for us to go on.
It does appear that the rumor of you being able to fly your own dragons in the game may be true. One scene in the trailer shows your character mounting a dragon for some flying time. No news yet if it will be free roaming or on rails flight but the aspect of being able to do it sounds great.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim- Dragonborn will release on December 4th on Xbox 360 for 1600 MS Points.
Today THQ took the wraps off of all of their downloadable content that will be making its way to the upcoming [amazon_link id=”B0085L2T0A” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]WWE 13[/amazon_link]. Like last year they will be available separately for purchase or can be bought all at once in a Season Pass called “Fan Axxess”.
The individual prices vary on the content but the Fan Axxess pass can be purchased for $19.99 or 1600 MS Points. Buying the pass also gives players a 10% discount and lets players download two more classic superstars (HINT- “Self High-Five”). The DLC will be released in three packs between the game’s release date and January 2013.
