DiRT 3 | PS3/360 |Price: £6.29/800 MS Points
PS3 and Xbox 360 owners can now download six new rallytracks for DiRT 3, which are looking rather neat. A little steep on the pricing, perhaps, but for those who are still complaining there aren't enough rally stages, this one's for you.
Black Ops: Annihilation Pack | 360 | Price: 1200 MS Points
Call of Duty Black Ops' Annihilation Pack weighs in at a controversial 1200 MS Points (£10.28). Too much? For your money, you get four new multiplayer maps and a new zombie arena, but the combined cost of the game and all its DLC is skyrocketing now, so think hard.
Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax | 360 | 800 MS Points
Half-Minute Hero finallymakes the leap from PSP to Thrixty - well worth checking out. It's a lightning-fast RPG that condenses the experience into 30 seconds, which you extend by playing skillfully. Hard to explain, easy to download. Do it.
