DLC round-up November 12 – 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…

Xbox 360

The talking point this week is the release of Fusion: Genesis from Starfire Studios, a studio formed of ex Rare employees. Reviews are mixed, but it seems safe to say that if you enjoy the demo this is going to go down a treat.

On PS3 the pick of the bunch is PSone classic Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, although some might find its visuals a little hard to digest.

Overall though, we feel the Xbox 360 does just about enough to edge ahead.
