  Bad DLC on the rise?

  As I've been scrolling through the lists of DLC on XBL and PSN and I can't help but notice that there is a load of bad DLC out there. I have three games in mind here, Pain (PS3), Tales of Vesperia (360) and Soul Calibur IV (360, PS3).

  Pain is a downloadable game on PSN that originally came with only a single level to play, along with some different modes to dabble around it. The only good DLC that has come out lately has been the new amusement park level. Other than that level, Pain has a number of characters that you can download for 99 cents each. Why pay for extra characters? Eww.

  Unfortunately a game I love is guilty of sour DLC. The latest DLC for Tales of Vesperia has been character customization packs ranging from 200-300 Microsoft points. From what I read, which could be wrong, the pack comes with three items to equip to that character to make them look different along with three titles. Why dish out 300 points for something silly like that? There's also been cooking supplies, synthesis kits, money, and level up packs available for download. I didn't pay to level up my character in World of Warcraft and I'm not going to here!

  Soul Calibur, oh Soul Calibur, when will you let us download Darth Vader (or Yoda for that matter)? Basically, all of the DLC for SCIV has been kind of lame. With two equipment customization packs and now weapon sets for 300 points each, it's just kinda bad. I've purchased the two equipment packs out of curiosity. The first pack gave me equipment I never noticed on my list, and the second one gave me Halloween goodies which all look doofy. Bottom line, just give us Vader and be done.

  Who's buying this stuff and feeling good about it? For shame!

  Bioshock for PS3

  My interest in Bioshock for PS3 is growing daily. I beat Bioshock on the 360 three times and I still have the urge to go through the game again. With the PS3 having some new content I'm totally interested. I just played the PS3 demo and I don't know if they added detail to the game or if I was so oblivious to it all, but noticing the picket signs at the beginning, listening more closely to the atmospheric sounds, and listening to the tapes again makes me stoked about that game again. I actually don't remember too much about the story other than the major plot points, so I'm seriously considering purchasing Bioshock for the PS3, which means I'll have it twice, which means I'll totally love that game, just like everyone should.
