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 and Xbox 360. Wii is no longer included in our round-up.
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.

And the winner of this week’s DLC Royal Rumble is…
Xbox 360
With only a chess game to excite PS3 gamers, Microsoft is really rubbing salt into the wound with the line-up of XBLA games for Xbox 360. Not only is FEZ finally available, but you’ve got Skullgirls and The Splatters to temp even more points spending.
Elsewhere it’s pretty much an even playing field with DLC for Mass Effect 3, Saints Row: The Third, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City appearing on both platforms.
