Current developers have caught a niche in the market; adding downloadable content (or known as DLC) to their existing games. Content can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from huge expansions such as The Shivering Isles (Elder Scrolls IV) to the smaller transactions such as the extra available vehicles in Motorstorm. However , calculating whether the content developers have cooked up will be a success is another question altogether. Personally, the kind of DLC I purchase is the episodic content to games I already own, hopefully extending gameplay and adding new features. It may sounds like a good process, but like all market twists, the DLC market has its downsides. The most recent issue brought to light is that of Eidos’ most recent instalment of the Tomb Raider series: Underworld. Sources revealed that Underworld would definitely be receiving episodic content, but there are two things worth mentioning that questions the good nature of DLC. Firstly, Microsoft had brought the series of content exclusively for the Xbox 360, just as they did with Fallout 3 and Grand Theft Auto. I personally found this annoying, because developers should be working on giving every platform the same experience and shifting copies of the game itself instead of hardware. The second point is that sources within the Tomb Raider staff revealed that the DLC Eidos were selling as “extras” was in fact just cut from the original game and stalled so the developers could extract more money from a deliberately shortened title.
