It's DLC Tuesday! That doesn't really have much of a marketing hook, does it?  Maybe DLC Dinsdag works better, but we publish in the Queen's English here, so we're stuck with the crap option. Anyway, Metro 2033, BioShock 2, and Mass Effect 2 all got add-ons today. Check it out!

Metro 2033 Ranger Pack

Return to the Moscow Metro and face the ultimate survival challenge with the Ranger Pack. This downloadable content adds new weapons, new achievements and the deadly ‘Ranger Mode’ game rules. In standard Ranger Mode, ammo is dramatically reduced and all weapons cause more damage. Your foes are deadlier than ever – but so are you! ‘Ranger Hardcore’ adds an additional challenge as the HUD is totally removed, creating the most immersive Metro 2033 experience yet. Rise to the challenge with two new weapons – the Heavy Automatic Shotgun, and the Volt Driver, Miller’s signature gun.

Get your ranger on (240 MSP, 108 KB).

BioShock 2: The Protector Trials

You receive the call: Tenenbaum desperately needs you to steal as much ADAM as possible, to help thwart Sofia Lamb's insane plan. Enter the Protector Trials: frantic combat challenges designed to push your mastery of weapons and Plasmids to the limit. The goal in each Trial is simple: get your Little Sister to an ADAM-rich corpse and keep her safe while she gathers precious ADAM. Opposition mounts as your Little Sister nears her goal -- will you survive the onslaught? Each Trial features three unique weapon and Plasmid load-outs, keeping the challenge fresh, as well as a fourth bonus load-out the player receives when all previous load-outs are completed.

WHO'S YOUR BIG DADDY? (400 MSP, 1 GB)

Mass Effect 2 Firepower Pack

The Firepower Pack adds three new weapons to Shepard's armor locker: When a “heavy” pistol won’t do the job, the Phalanx brings the bang! It hits like a hand cannon and features an integral laser sight for a whole new aiming experience! Ever wanted a sniper rifle without the scope or an assault rifle without the recoil? The Mattock heavy rifle is a hybrid of the two, a semi-auto beast usable by any class with an assault rifle skill! The Geth Plasma Shotgun is a three-barreled monster that creates plasma the right way -- on impact! Charge it up for even greater damage, or blast away rapid-fire at longer ranges than normal shotguns!

BOOM! Headshot! (160 MSP, 7 MB)
