Chalk this one to a simple “whoops” on the part of Microsoft. Last week, when the company announced that Xbox Live for the original Xbox was going down in flames for good, all of the DLC vanished, and Halo 2 was no longer playable for some. The good news is that someone flipped a switch, and [...]

Microsoft has already started breaking down Xbox Live for original Xbox owners, starting with the removal of all DLC from the service. The problem is that DLC is required for all Halo 2 playlists, so those that signed on for a few games today can no longer access required DLC. So, if someone replaced their hard [...]

The next dose of Borderlands DLC seems to have a definite Mad Max flavour. Heavily inspired by the Thunderdome Arena, the add-on is being released under a tongue-in-cheek title -- Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot.

It seems that EA releases so much DLC that the testing department is getting overwhelmed. Such is the case with a recent round of $10 DLC for Fight Night Round 4, titled the Champions Pack 2. Included were three fighters (Evander Holyfield, Sonny Liston and Bernard Hopkins), Rivalry mode, and Old School Rules. Each addition [...]

The DLC includes a series of survival and versus maps. Now, are you happy? No? Now what’s the problem? Oh, you’re [...]

Even those die-hards who can’t stop playing downloadable title Battlefield 1943 have to admit that with a meager 3 maps, the game has to be losing some of its thunder. Joystiq caught up with BF ‘43 producer Gordon Van Dyke and came away with this reasonable answer: There’s a lot of pressure on the team for [...]

It only took one weekend for latest Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack to hit one million downloads. For those keeping stats, that was the weekend of August 6th through the 9th. That combines sales from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, although Activision was not specifying which was more popular. Further pushing their [...]

Silly EA. Do you really need more money from a recycled football franchise? Do these micro transactions really fill your greedy pocketbooks? Well, apparently so if they keep releasing crap like this. In Madden 10, players can purchase stuff like “Play Through the Pain,” which lets you skip injuries. Even more ridiculous is “Pick a Superstar,” [...]
