BioShock 2 DLC Announced
Posted by David "Snarkasaur" Stewart on February 22nd, 2010
Following the massive DLC trend of the past couple years, 2K has already announced some upcoming DLC for recently released BioShock 2, the first of which will be a purely multiplayer expansion titled “The Sinclair Solutions Test Pack.” There isn’t a release date quite yet, unless you consider “soon” to be a release date, but it’ll cost you 400
($5) on Xbox Live and $4.99 on PSN when it’s doled out and features the following:
- Rank Increase to level 50 with Rank Rewards
- New playable characters Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca
- 20 new trials (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher)
- A third weapon upgrade for each weapon
- Five additional masks (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher)
Not bad for a 5 buck DLC to be honest. Most games charge more than that just for a rank increase. For those into the multiplayer enough to have capped out already, this will definitely be welcome. One interesting slice of this announcement pie mentioned future single player DLC, and as to what that could be, well it’s anyone’s guess. I’d probably wager on some challenge rooms similar to the first game’s DLC as the story itself does not leave too much room for tinkering. Either way, I’m always ready to return to Rapture. Stayed tuned this week for our very own BioShock 2 review as well!
























If the four characters whom you’ll get to control in the upcoming game Heavy Rain just seems, well, not quite enough, then you’re in luck. According to some statements made in a recent interview, game creator David Cage has revealed that in DLC episodes (Heavy Rain Chronicles), players will get an opportunity to play as the Origami Killer himself in order to learn more about his origins.
Less than a month since the release of 0 Day Attack on Earth, Square Enix, the game’s publisher, has dropped some DLC for us titled “London Map Pack.” The 560 Microsoft Point expansion allows you to battle invaders among the cityscape of London, adding to the included Tokyo, Paris, and New York. Also added is new invaders, the ability to select a higher difficulty setting, and a boss battle.
Do you love Zen Pinball? Then you will love the new table coming soon exclusively to PSN. Featuring imagery from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, it’s sure to please both fans of pinball and Team Ninja! Check out the sneak peek of the new Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 table, coming this Thursday (Jan 14), to the Playstation Network.
Do you like Dr Pepper? Do you like free DLC? Well then you’re in luck, as on Friday it was announced that EA and Dr Pepper are joining forces to give you new downloadable content for some of EA’s most popular games. Beginning this week, and running throughout 2010, codes will be available on more than 500 million Dr Pepper products for these exclusive game add-ons.
I’m kidding. You’re not going to pass on Left 4 Dead 2, are you? Of course not. Especially when its first DLC add-on is set to be released this spring. Dubbed “The Passing,” this add-on episode will take place directly after the “Dead Center” campaign in Left 4 Dead 2. Per the official Valve press release, the Survivors will navigate a small town in rural Georgia, where they’ll cross paths with the familiar favorite Survivors from the original game: Zoey, Francis, Bill, and Louis.
