Better late than never with this information, eh?

We’re not entirely sure how we missed this, but Irrational Games has announced their Season Pass details for Bioshock Infinite DLC. Is less ‘news’ and more ‘olds’ now, but in case you missed it there will be three add-on packs to arrive after the game launches on March 26th that will prolong your adventures in the clouds. The pass will cost £15.00 on PS3 or 1600MS on Xbox 360 and will save you around 30% on the price if you bought them separately. Obviously.

First out of the blocks will be the Early Bird. You get this…

Four pieces of exclusive gear, a Machine Gun Damage Upgrade, a Pistol Damage Upgrade, a gold skin for both weapons and five Infusion bottles that allow players to increase their health, their shield durability or their ability to use Vigors by increasing the quantity of Salts they can carry.   

The rest will be announced in …

Two no-fee multiplayer maps and new game mode on the way

To coincide with the release of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, which is out today in Europe, the game’s developer, CI Games, has announced the tactical first-person shooter will be supported with some free post-launch DLC.

Included in the gratis expansion will be two new multiplayer maps – ‘Tower Defence’ and ‘Temple Crossing’ – and an all-new game mode to play. It sounds like this is the first DLC reveal of many, with CI Games promising that this add-on is “just the first step in our plan to support the Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 experience for our fans after launch.”

Here’s images of the two multiplayer maps:

Max’s final fling proves you can teach an old dog new tricks

Although previous DLC showcases new maps, factions, and weapons like the powerful UAR-21 assault rifle, Deathmatch Made in Heaven offers up something a little bit different for this finale – new modes for online and offline.  Before we break down the modes for you, let’s look at the new weapons.

Rockstar has plumped for an array of close-range and melee weapons. A night-stick, stun-gun, pepper spray, and even an electrifying cattle prod are here to wield and they introduce a new dynamic to online battles.

For example, the night-stick is a one-hit kill. It’s perfect for ambushing opponents and the added humiliation makes it even more worthwhile. Fire off the stun-gun and the Euphoria physics kick in hilariously and make enemies flop around like a fish out of water. You can finish them off how you please, although standing over them for a few seconds before emptying a …

A fitting and fond farewell to Shepard and the gang

Citadel is the final, two-part, send-off for Shepard and his/her crew. For your 1200MS you get a whole new area of the Citadel to explore: a casino, an arcade, and most impressively a combat simulator (more on this later). Citadel is split in two halves – an explosive blockbuster of a mission followed by a second half of pure, unadulterated fan-service. Don’t be put off though – as there’s something for everyone here.

The first half of Citadel plays like an action movie. During shore leave on the citadel, Shepard and Joker enjoy some space-sushi when suddenly a band of mercenaries appear. Using the tables for cover you gun the lot of them down, and thus begins Shepard’s last hurrah. It’s not all run-and gun though as you’ll face some puzzles built around a casino heist. Not only does this add variety, but it shows that BioWare really want to …
