Tomb Raider Underworld DLC episodes dated: Feb. 10 and Mar. 10

Remember that retail listing for the Tomb Raider Underworld "Expansion Token Pack" with a January 21st ship date? Oh, you do ... we were sort of hoping you'd forgotten about all that. Oh, you've spent the last 24 hours staring at the Xbox 360 Marketplace? Well, this is awkward ...

Well, you can divert your attention until February 10 when "Beneath the Ashes" – the first of two Xbox 360-exclusive DLC episodes – brings six new costumes, 125 additional achievement points, and some "never-before-seen caverns and age old crypts" to Lara's latest. The second episode – "Lara's Shadow" – follows on March 10 and, we presume, will feature another 125 achievement points.

The press release curiously avoids any mention of price but – seeing as how the email in our inbox reminded us that "the codes to download this content will be available at GameStop" – we're going to assume that despite managing to botch the date, GameStop's got the $10 per episode asking price right. We've asked an Eidos rep just in case.

Multiplatform games with exclusive DLC are the worst thing to come from this generation.

For the record, I don't care if someone did it last generation too, it's way more prevalent now.

why it allows the developer and publisher to secure a good deal of money before game is released which means they can afford to bring us these HD games which cost so much darn money to make.
much more than any games have ever cost in the history of game production.

its not the best thing if you own 1 console.
then u miss out.

so it also generates sales of other consoles, which also helps the world's economies and also helps more people working.

Yeah, that DLC deal didn't seem to help this game on the 360 seeing as how the PS3 version carried most of the sales across all 3 plats. Weird eh?

Sorry Lara, it was fun and all, the times we had together were great. But you have overstayed your welcome. I am with Nathan Drake now, but we can still be friends, k?

Remember, it's not you...it's me.
Well...to be honest, it is you....sorry.

You leave Sarah croft for a Man? that would do wonders for her self esteem.

Yay. We get to buy the last level of the game.

Got stuck on the last puzzle, I take it. :P

Well, XBOX owners do, the rest of us have to put up with the abrupt non-ending!!

How can the low sales be a surprise to Eidos, serves the bastards right.

Comments like these are a little unfair, Underworld wasn't an incomplete game and certainly never ended on a cliff hanger.

And the game may have felt rushed and a little sloppy, but that was completely because of Eidos, and it was still pretty good, at least as good as Legend.

I really don't understand why Uncharted and Prince of Persia can be praised so much, yet people consider this "outdated". Do people not like having to actually solve problems, should the next one really just be completely action based?

People don't like Platforming now, especially this gen.

Games like Sonic,Tony Hawk and those kind of games are getting less and less popular and being replaced by more action pack experiences like Ratchet and Skate.

Wouldn't it be great if they were $20 apiece?

*knocks on wood*

That F'ing Mute Lara Dolperganger, burned by Mansion down. You bitch!

Can you say "SPOILER!!"? Ah, who my kidding. It's freaking Tomb Raider, lol.

This is good news for me! I just bought the game over Amazon (not sure if I bought it for the puzzles or the boobs) and I need time to finish it before the DLC comes out. If it was already out, I'd feel rushed to finish it and not have time to enjoy the scenery that I know I'll enjoy as soon as the stupid game arrives.

uh-oh, DLC for a game no one bought.

uh-oh, i say.

Hey now, I happened to buy it.

Although admittedly, it was mainly because Ludwig recommended it so much. I haven't tried it yet, but he tends to have more or less the same opinion of games as I do. His, Dan Hsu, Shane, and the Giant Bomb guys are the few people whose recommendations I will follow without question.

Well, somebody must have bought it for there to be so many complaints about the DLC.

This was literally my favorite game of the year. Yes, it was frustrating and difficult at points, but so was the first Tomb Raider and it was ultimately very satisfying when you figured stuff out. This game made me feel JUST like I did when I played the original and the level design was fantastic.

Uncharted is probably a better game and experience, but has a different focus, gameplay-wise.

On a related note, I recently revisited Uncharted and realized that Uncharted is a better Indiana Jones movie than the recent Indiana Jones movie!
