Rumour has it that Kane and Lynch developer, Eidos, Will be releasing info on a new DLC pack for the game tomorrow. Early speculations hint that the pack is going to be a free download too, Depending on the quality then maybe its worth giving it a second chance?

We’ll keep you updated on progress.

Just a reminder to let everyone know that the new Call of Duty 4 maps are in. The ‘Variety Map Pack’ is available off the XBL Marketplace for a reasonable 800 MSPoints. Remember that if you download this pack youcant take part in the Double XP weekend. Well worth it

Fantastic news, Even more DLC is being released for Two Worlds this week. The pack is said to include 35 more quests for you to complete, giving a total of 70 bonus quests when combined with the last DLC; and more PVP is here. Although the PVP section has exactly the same description as the last hit of DLC so its hard to tell whether your paying for more, or just more of the same. Exactly the same.

This content will set you back 600 MSPoints if you really must download it, God only knows how much more they’re going to milk this already dying ‘cash cow’…

Mr Driller is available for purchase from the Marketplace as of today. Coming in at 800 MSPoints, Mr Driller looks to be a fun puzzler with some longevity in it. Online VS. play is also available.

The Velociraptor Pack will cost 400 Microsoft Points. The pack was designed to boost the Multiplayer side of the game, and judging by the Live Stats it certainly needs it!  The pack will include 5 maps, 2 of which are remakes and 1 is designed for co-op.  At Xboxer360 HQ were liking the price that accompanys this pack as most map packs contain 3-4maps and are priced at around 800 Microsoft Points.  Can we look forward to more cheaper map packs or is this priced low due to the games lack of players? Only time will tell.

Over christmas XBL was ‘problematic’ and Microsoft gifted us all with a free download of Undertow to say sorry. Conviniently, Heres comes the expansion too.. Named Path of the Elect and weighing in at 400 MSPoints, the pack promises five levels in the single player campaign, a new race (the elect) as well as more multiplayer maps. The original was reasonably fun, so this expansion may well be worth a whirl.

The pack will be available on March 5th via XBL.
