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…
PlayStation 3
Both platforms have a game seriously worth considering this week, in the shape of Trine 2 on PSN and I Am Alive on Xbox 360. Trine represents great value at its launch promotion price of only £6.49, but those feeling a little unsure can give the trial a go before buying.
I Am Alive hasn’t been as well received, but offers a rather unique experience for its 1200 MS Points price tag. Again, you might want to try the demo first.
Elsewhere the Mass Effect 3 From Ashes DLC is available on both systems, and Forza 4 is expanded with the release of the Pirelli Car Pack.
However, on the strength of Trine 2 the win goes to PlayStation 3.
