DLC round-up October 15 – Xbox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii

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.

Wii

WiiWare

Nothing new for Wii this week so we’ll move direclty onto the verdict.

And the winner of this week’s DLC Royal Rumble is…

Xbox LIVE

There are some worthwhile downloads available on Xbox 360 and PS3 this week, but the inclusion of Guardian Heroes on Xbox LIVE Arcade gives the Xbox 360 an unassailable lead. The SEGA Saturn classic has been given a nifty port to XBLA complete with online play and it’s a snip at only 800 MS Points.

Kinectimals Bear Island also seems reasonable for fans of the Kinect-powered virtual pet adventure game.
