This is how DLC should be done.
I'm almost unsure as to why I'm even bothering to review this particular downloadable expansion to Portal 2. For one, it's totally free, and two, it's more Portal 2. How could anyone complain about that? After playing through the entirely new set of test chambers, I know I can't. Fact of the matter is Peer Review is more of a good thing.
Valve's well-received puzzler is being expanded on next week -- for free!
Today, Valve announced that Portal 2 will be receiving DLC, titled Peer Review. Set to release on October 4 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac, the extra content will be completely free.
The direct follow-up to Final Fantasy XIII also made an appearance at the Sony press conference.
We all know that Final Fantasy XIII was more of a linear experience - a trait that many long time fans of the series took issue with. While the game offered amazing graphics and a unique approach to the traditional RPG gameplay, for many it still left something to be desired. It was clear based on the brief demo I played, that XIII-2 would not follow that same linear structure. The world I encountered when I finally got to play the game was much more open, and perhaps contained more possibilities. I can't stress enough how much of an improvement this will be over the previous title if it manages to offer the same gameplay throughout the entire quest.
