The console war is fought everywhere these days, but the internet seems to be where people are most vocal. It also serves to give each console its own set of downloadable content, fuelling the war even more. Each week we’ll give you a run-down of what’s available to download on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.
Our verdict is based on the content available this week only.
Note: This round-up is based on UK releases to each console’s online service and does not include premium video content. Releases outside of the UK could vary.

Monochrome Racing: 500 Wii Points
And the winner of this week’s DLC Royal Rumble is…
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 gets the win this week due to the excellent, 8/10 scoring Twisted Shadow Planet. The third game in the so far brilliant Summer of Arcade is well worth a look at 1200 Microsoft Points. The PS3 has received a lot of content this week, but nothing stands out as being a must download.
The Wii continues to struggle, but at least Monochrome racing is mildly more exciting than another language learning tool.
