Rating: Whitstable is obviously better than Herne Bay or they would have named it Herne Bay.
Game: Welcome to my new feature called "Why I Hate DLC" - The new Modern Warfare DLC is priced at a scarily big 1200 Microsoft points which is £10.20 in real money. After the horror of the Bioshock 2 debacle last week, this is another kick in the teeth for honest gamers. For the benefit of non-regular (irregular?) readers, last week 2K released "downloadable" content that you didn't really need to download because it was already on the disc - so you were effectively paying for it twice.
All the good work done by the developers responsible for the likes of Fallout 3 and GTA IV is quickly being undone by these con-like examples of overpriced content. Downloadable content packs for Fallout 3 and GTA IV were essentially entire new games set in the same universe rather than an overpriced multiplayer map or level. I am now boycotting all DLC until Microsoft and the developers revise their pricing models. Even for my favourite games like Assassin's Creed, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Dante's Inferno, they've been hit with sub-standard or overpriced DLC. By boycotting DLC, the money saved would soon build up to cover the cost of a full price retail game. Eat my goal.
