Some games get better with age, especially when new characters or maps are added. These are the nominees for best DLC in 2011
Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion pack
BatRastered says: New maps, new game modes, new guns (and new ways to earn them) makes an already excellent MP shooter even better. Not to mention the fact that most of the issues present at launch are now history. Better yet, if you pre-ordered BF3, this expansion was free!
GoukiJones says: Harrier Jets! Are they Harriers? They float. The game modes are always welcome. Four new maps is great. Especially when I can remember these maps on old Battlefield games.
Portal 2: Peer Review DLC
BatRastered says: Another free DLC. We like free. This DLC adds the challenge leaderboards for the single player maps that were strangely missing from the initial release (strange because the original portal included them). The co-op mode was the surprise star of this game though, and the Peer Review DLC includes a bunch of new levels for the co-op mode... again, for free! Passing weighted storage cubes back and forth over a wall to your partner is great fun. Catching a thrown cube while you're flying through the air is always a delight.
GoukiJones says: I love free DLC. I love Portal. After we figure out all of these new rooms though, we'll probably never play it again.
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (and v2012 patch)
BatRastered: The Arcade Edition expansion was not free, but it did include four new playable characters and a complete re-balancing of the game. If you're a Yun or Yang user, you were thrilled with this. If not, you were just happy you could upgrade via DLC instead of having to buy a whole new game again this year. Capcom gave the fans even more though as the AE 2012 patch was released last week for free, featuring a whole new re-balancing of every character for increased competitiveness.
GoukiJones says: Personally I haven't had a go with this update yet. I have been thinking about bringing the Cammy out from the dungeon. Perhaps get into some Hakan again as well. He starts oiled up. Slippery!
