The Xbox Live Arcade House Party continues this week and now they have let in the racecars with weapons fully attached. Because it is simply not a party until somebody straps a rocket launcher to the hood of their car. Scrap Metal is a racer with heavy car combat elements and it’s drawing favorable comparisons to the Twisted Metal series.
When you defeat Scrap Metal’s armored-up bosses, you will add their supercars to your garage for your own destructive purposes. And also be on the lookout for an AI car called “Major Nelson,” a tribute to Xbox Live’s community director. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the opportunity to grind your Xbox Live friends under your monster truck wheels in multiplayer matches. If vehicular combat is a favorite of yours, Scrap Metal will no doubt be a worthwhile purchase for you. It became available March 10, 2010 for 1200 Microsoft Points. Scrap Metal gear for your Xbox Live Avatar becomes available March 11.
There is even more racing to be had in this week’s game add-ons with Forza Motorsport 3′s Jalopnik Car Pack. Perhaps more important than new cars for Forza players is a patch fixing some of the game’s nagging online issues. That includes team balancing in multiplayer hoppers, where smaller teams will receive AI additions. The Jalopnik Pack is 400 Microsoft Points, the patch will download automatically the next time you play Forza online.
On March 11, Bioshock 2 receives its first DLC with the Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack. It raises the multiplayer rank cap to 50, adds two new characters to multiplayer and adds new masks and trials. There’s a lot of goodies to make Rapture an even more twisted place to visit. The Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack will run you 400 Microsoft Points.
The Deal of the Week is the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack Bundle for 1600 MP, down from the normal price of 2000 MP. It features nine multiplayer maps and three co-op zombie maps. It also features 20 map-related achievements. This deal is available through March 15, 2010.
