2K Preps Expansions For Rapture
You know what's all the rage with kids today? DLC, that's what! So 2K Games is jumping on that bandwagon by announcing an "aggressive post-launch downloadable content plan" for the recently-released BioShock 2.
"The fans who waited in the snow, rain and cold for the midnight launch of BioShock 2 have spoken and their message is that Rapture still has many fascinating stories to tell," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Downloadable content is a key part of our efforts to continue to entice the fans that have made 2K a household name - we intend to deliver single and multiplayer content that respects and expands upon one of the greatest fictional worlds ever created."
The first of several planned download packs will be released this March, beginning with the Sinclair Solutions Test Pack. The add-on will deepen the multiplayer experience with new playable charactres Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca, a new rank increase to level 50, 20 new trials, a third weapon upgrade for each weapon, and five additional masks.
The Sinclair Solutions Test Pack will be available from Xbox LIVE for 400 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation Network for $4.99. And in the coming months, 2K Games will be releasing downloadable extensions for the single player experience that reveals new aspects of Rapture with more narratives, new tools and new challenges. Too much is never enough!

I have mixed feelings about this DLC craze. On on hand, it's nice to see new content to expand the experience of a game. On the other, it gets a little pricey so I may have to just restrict my DLC purchases to games I really enjoy. Bioshock 2 is definitely one of them.
PC version is getting this, yes?
Sorry, Shin! Yes, the PC is getting it as well. The press release was oddly worded, but upon closer examination, yes, it's being released on Games For Windows LIVE as well. Enjoy!
