Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

X-COM: Enemy Unknown Gets First DLC Packs

Posted on Tuesday, October 23 @ 15:19:04 Eastern by


Firaxis is thrilled with the high critical reviews, ours included, for X-COM: Enemy Unknown and has announced today their plan for the first few DLC add-ons for the title.

The Slingshot Content Pack is more than the name implies: It features a set of Council missions that involve a Triad operative who has some interest in thwarting the aliens hovering over China. Well, we're not sure exactly if this enigmatic character wants to help them or kill them, considering the possibility of alien control, but I'm willing to guess that even as a gang member, he wants them out of his city. Enemies of our enemies are our friends, after all.

There's no announcement yet on the pack's price or release date, but it will include three new maps and one playable character "with a unique story and voice", who may be the aforementioned Triad operative.

The second add-on content is the Elite Soldier Pack, which those who pre-ordered the title or purchased the title at launch already received for free. It gives players the classic X-COM soldier in their barracks, Soldier Deco upgrades for their soldiers, and complete color customization. This pack is now available for $4.99 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

    I'd rather have a patch that fixes the freezing at the start of every other mission on PS3. I love the game, but it is seriously buggy. I have never had a game crash the system like XCOM does.

    Best solution: Get the PC version. Just a couple visual flickering issues here and there.

    I just started having that occasional glitch as well. The game will--once in a great while--freeze, either during a mission or even when back at the base. I'm guessing--not sure of course--that the problem may be connected to the auto saving as part of Iron Man mode.

    I had auto-saving off, although I did have multiple save files. Deleting a bunch of them didn't help. The official forums are littered with game-breaking PS3 bugs. Disgraceful.

    PC version run perfekt on mine.

    I would have liked a DLC with a new class or some new speciel gear or something.

    But i suppose extra missions is cool enough
