Five great examples of DLC

July 10, 2012

Dragon Age/Little Big Planet/Opinion/Pure Chess/Theatrhythm/top 5/Warriors Orochi

DLC has a pretty bad reputation, I’d say. Gamers across the world like to think that the existence of DLC means that the developers are no longer giving us complete games out of the box. That’s not true at all, of course – there’s a couple of exploitative bits of…
