[DLC] Snowblind map pack released for Gears of War 2

The new map pack for Epic's hit release Gears of War 2 was released earlier today, providing players with four new maps for the game's multiplayer, with the price tag of 800 Microsoft points (roughly a little less than 8 euros/10 American dollars).

Aside from a feeling of freshness that comes with playing in a new environment and learning how to navigate in it, the Snowblind map pack also provides with new achievements that should keep people playing for a while.

The catch (aside from the price which I personally find a bit steep) is the fact that it's not available in all European countries, including my own, thanks to "region locking". This policy is highly unfair towards paying customers, and I do wish Microsoft would reconsider it altogether, but it doesn't seem likely.

Oh, well. I'll just buy Dishwasher Samurai tomorrow with my points, then.

TL;DR Version

No review today thanks to a local Street Fighter tournament that took most of my time over the weekend, but Thursday's review should be pretty special. Stay tuned.
