As an added bonus, Rocksteady has told us a cheat you can input to use any skin that you already have during the campaign before you beat it. After you select your save slot in the main menu, simply press the following controls: Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down. You’ll hear a a bit of audio confirming that you did it correctly, and then you’ll be able to play with different costume skins anytime you want. Merry Christmas!

Seems kind of cheap, doesn’t it? That’s because all it will get you is four new characters for the multiplayer (the Privateer, the Corsair, the Brigand, and the Gladiator) who all have “unique taunts, weapons, and stylized assassination moves.” The press release also mentions a 2nd piece of DLC, but it doesn’t go into detail about what it is. Whatever the case may be, both DLC packs are available for pre-order.

Dead Island

So what is “Bloodbath Arena?” It’s Dead Island‘s version of “Horde Mode.” Players get together in one of four arenas and kill waves of zombies in either single-player or co-op fashions. If you bought the special edition of the game, it will be free to you. Otherwise, it will be $10 or 800 MS points, and it will be available for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on November 22nd.

Is multiplayer not your thing? Well don’t worry, because remember that December 13th is the “RAAM’s Shadow” DLC that will be available for 1200 Microsoft points ($15). This will grant you about 3 hours of single-player gameplay that takes place before the events of the original Gears of War. You’ll also be able to snag a cool 250 achievement points that you can hang over your friends’ heads to show that you are better than them. Of course, if you got the season pass, both these pieces of DLC are already paid for. So just sit back and download them. Aren’t you a the lucky one?

Already finished Batman: Arkham City and looking for the next challenge? Warner Bros. has you covered. A new trailer on the community website has revealed new DLC, this time featuring Nightwing in all his acrobatic glory. The artist formerly known as Robin will be able to take on all challenge rooms and will be available  Tuesday, November 1st on Xbox 360 and PS3 for the low, low price of $5.99 on PSN and 560 points on Xbox Live. Also included will be two new challenge maps, Wayne Manor and Main Hall, and an additional Nightwing skin based on the Batman: The Animated Series version of the character.

Like Catwoman, Nightwing also has his own unique gadgets and moves, and he sports a pair of Eskrima fighting sticks which emit electricity for stunning opponents into submission. He also has wrist darts that take you into a first person perspective for accurate aiming, and the ex-boy wonder has at least one more tool that ricochets after being tossed on the ground.

Additionally, the Robin Bundle Pack, featuring the Dark Knight’s third Robin, will become available for those who missed the pre-order bonus, on November 22 for $6.99.

“RAAM’s Shadow” will give you a three-hour campaign that has you trying to evacuate the citizens of llima City shortly after Emergence Day. You’ll also receive 6 new multiplayer characters, the chocolate weapon set,  and a chance to get 250 more achievement points. Oh, you’ll also play as RAAM. You know, the bad guy from the first game. That’s cool, right?

You can do all of this on December 13th for 1200 MS points ($15 in real people money). That is unless you bought the season pass, at which point you already paid for it along with the first piece of DLC as well.

According to game director Justin Richmond, “Whenever we sit down and think we should do some single-player DLC, someone pitches something and we realize – that’s a five hour level.” He went on to say their development team is too small to spend time working on episodic DLC content and would just rather get to work on a new game. The lack of single-player DLC shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the first two games didn’t have any single-player downloadable content either. Let’s just hope that means they are already planning out Uncharted 4.

It came as a surprise to us that Deus Ex: Human Revolution was as good as it was. What shouldn’t be a surprise, however, is that DLC was coming.  “Missing Link” will be the first piece of downloadable content that is coming for the game, which will add a 5-8 hour campaign. It will be available October 18th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC for $15 or 1200 Microsoft Points if that’s your thing. Hopefully this will leave out any boss battles.

Originally, we did know that Robin was going to be an early access exclusive to Best Buy and their pre-order, but things were unclear for the different skins for Batman and Robin that you could get from pre-ordering the game from other places. So hopefully knowing that you can buy these digital items later will help you decide where you end up getting the game.

“No, it won’t be the graphic novel, but it will have all new campaign content that doesn’t have Marcus, Dom, Cole and Baird in it. Expect Barrick and more…”

I suppose this can’t be too much of a disappointment to the people who wanted to see more of the COGs they are use to, because if you’ve seen one beefy, war-hardened, killing machine then you’ve seen them all, right? The question is what other characters are you hoping will make an appearance in the DLC?
