DLC round-up May 5, 2012 – Xbox 360 vs PS3

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…

PS3

There’s very little in it this week, with both platforms offering the rather good multiplayer online battle arena game Awesomenauts. Therefore we have to look elsewhere to see who comes away with the victory. PS3 boasts the surprisingly good fighting game Skullgirls, whilst Xbox LIVE Arcade hosts the hugely disappointing Fable Heroes.

As I’ve said, it’s a close call, but PS3 narrowly edges it.
