Injustice: Gods Among Us gets a bevy of new content today, with the Batgirl character pack leading the charge, hitting Xbox Live and PlayStation Network priced 400MSP (£3.43/€4.80/$5.00), and £3.99/$4.99 respectively. If you’ve already splashed out for the Injustice Season Pass then you’ll be able to access Batgirl without paying another penny more.

PS3 gamers in Europe won’t be able to access the Batgirl DLC until tomorrow, 22 May, which is when the EU PlayStation Store next updates.

You can download Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC from Xbox Live (GB), Xbox Live (US), PS Store (GB), PS Store (US). If the new content isn’t there, be patient – it’ll appear when the relevant service next updates.

Here’s a Batgirl trailer, in which she knocks Joker through several walls:

Next piece of Injustice DLC for today is the Batgirl compatibility pack, which is delivered as a mandatory update for PS3 users, while Xbox 360 owners will have to download it from …

Busy week incoming for Injustice: Gods Among Us – it’s been confirmed via the game’s Twitter that the recently announced Batgirl character DLC will be out next Tuesday, 21 May.

Although not specifically stated, we’re expecting the Batgirl DLC to be priced in line with the previous character add-on, Lobo, which cost 400MSP (£3.43/€4.80/$5.00) on Xbox Live, and £3.99/$4.99 on PlayStation Network. The character packs are included with the Injustice Season Pass, so if you’ve already paid for that, Batgirl will be yours for no extra cost.

Also arriving on 21 May is a Batgirl compatibility pack, which – along with the compatibility update – will include a Luchador Bane skin. Like the previous compat pack, it will be free to download. Here’s what Luchador Bane looks like:

And that’s still not all for next Tuesday because it’s also been confirmed the previously pre-order …

The previously announced Shipwrecked Map Pack Tomb Raider DLC will be arriving on Xbox Live next Tuesday, 7 May. Rather than being officially announced by Square Enix, the date has appeared on Xbox.comas part of the Xbox Live Gold Unlocked Weekend, which is happening now in the UK. Look, we took a picture:

The Shipwrecked Map Pack contains the following two new maps:

• Lost Fleet: A massive beached ship serves as a dangerous battleground filled with twists, turns, and traps
• Himiko’s Cradle: Danger lurks around every corner in this mountain top shrine. The area is sacred to the scavengers and will be your final resting place if you are not careful

The Shipwrecked Map Pack is confirmed for PS3, but no release date yet beyond ‘early May’. Price also still to be confirmed, although we expect it’ll be in line with the 1939 Map Pack – 320MSP (£2.74/€3.84/$4), or £2.39 on PS Store.…

First things first – what the hell does Blood Dragon have to do with Far Cry 3? Give it a cursory glance and you’d have to say not a lot. It’s post neon-bomb apocalypse, with blue goo for blood, and – yes – it does have laser-eye enabled dragons which can explode helicopters out of the sky for fun. But once you start playing the similarities smash you in the face like a Shoryuken from the fist of Captain Obvious.

This standalone XBLA and PSN spin-off is an open-world shooter set on an island chock-full of systemic emergent gameplay (exciting random stuff happens!), dynamic wildlife (animals behaving like animals!), procedural fire propagation (dangerous burning stuff spreads!), and so on. It’s built on the same technology as Far Cry 3, so it’s no surprise the two share much of the same hard-on geekery.

There are also the enemy camps, the zip-lines, the bow, the vehicles… and so on and so on …
