Metro: Last Light to receive four DLC packs this summer

May 22, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Deep Silver has revealed, to the surprise of absolutely no sane or semi-informed gamer on this fucking planet, that Metro: Last Light will be receiving a series of DLC packs soon.

“Faction” and “Chronicle” will extend the game’s story mode, while “Tower” will introduce a “unique solo challenge” to the game. Looks like Deep Silver has has developed a knack of charging us for a challenge. The publishers have also said a “Developer” pack will be released, hinting at some kind of level editor or modding tool for the game. The first DLC pack to be released is Faction, which will arrive some time in June.

It has also been announced that all the DLC packs can be purchased at a discount through the Season Pass which is available for $ 14.99 through Steam, PSN, and Xbox LIVE. PlayStation Plus subscribers receive a 25% discount on the Season Pass from May 21st to June 4th in the US and May 22nd to June 5th in Europe and the rest of the world.

Skullgirls character color packs hit PSN, balance patch out on XBLA

Lab Zero Games released a PlayStation Network-exclusive batch of new DLC for its 2D fighter Skullgirls, giving the game’s cast a wider variety of colorful wardrobe options.

Skullgirls‘ eight color packs grant access to five additional color schemes per character, and are priced at $ 0.99 each. Players can also grab all 40 alternate outfits by purchasing a $ 5 bundle.

Owners of the Xbox Live Arcade edition will have to wait until a later date to explore this new world of color coordination. Starting today, however, XBLA players now have access to a long-delayed balance patch. The newly released “required compatibility update,” which is available as a hefty 273 MB download, fixes regional online play and improves GGPO performance, among many other character-specific tweaks. A full list of changes is here.

The Sims 3 DLC packs some bellbottoms

January 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Miltidecade Sims 3 DLC hits steam

The Sims 3 “70s, 80s and 90s” DLC pack says it has “all-new outfits, crazy hairstyles, and facial hair,” but considering each of these “new” looks comes from a decade long since past, that description is a bit of a stretch. The 70s, 80s and 90s pack is available now on Steam for $ 20.

The 70s portion includes bellbottoms, halter top catsuits and platform shoes, along with minimalist furniture and a disco ball. The 80s bring legwarmers, leotards, headbands and shoulder pads, and the decor portion includes arcade machines and an entertainment system. The 90s remind us why “grunge” generally isn’t a complimentary term, with tattered jeans, layered tops, asymmetrical handkerchief hemline skirts, and furniture in distressed and industrial metal styles. Each decade comes with the related hairstyles and facial hair.

Remember, in 20 years we’ll all look back on the 2010s with just as much revulsion, but with more photographic evidence of our absurd tastes.

Resident Evil 6 packs retro costumes for upcoming online events

Resident Evil 6 packs some retro costumes, takes a trip to Games on Demand

Retro is the way to go when it comes to Resident Evil these days, and that includes new (old) costume DLC for Resident Evil 6, unlocked by participating in upcoming online events.

The first one, “Zombie Mayhem,” is set to take place on December 28. If players across the world kill a collective 15 million zombies, they’re eligible to unlock one costume from the set seen above. No word on which costume will be the first award, but future online events will be announced on the Resident Evil site, so perhaps a bookmark is in order.

Capcom has also added Resident Evil 6 to the Games on Demand section of Xbox Live Marketplace. The Xbox 360 download weighs in at 7.57GB and will set you back $ 39.99, the current price of Resident Evil 6 at retail.
