It is a pretty short romp, but it is definitely fun. I think I have completed the main game and 98% of the expansion in like 9-10 hours?

Magicka goes dark side in The Other Side of the Coin
While Magicka certainly allows you to commit villainous acts against your co-op chums, you should probably be trying to work together. If the call of evil is getting too much for you and you're just pissing all your mates off, then there's some DLC on the way which should allow to scratch your bad guy itch. The Other Side of the Coin lets you play as the foul vampire Alucart (son of Tracula?) and his nefarious necromancer henchmen as they try to ruin everyone's day and attempt to kill Vlad, who is most certainly not a vampire. There's a new story to play through, new challenge maps and the necromancer has been added to PvP where there will be even more opportunities for villainy, no doubt. It's planned for digital release on June 14 and will only set you back $4.99. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)That wasn't funny :(. I was hoping for some humor like with the Vietnam DLC. Which reminds me I need to get off my ass and play this game. Shit I have such a fucking backlog. @Spaz
It is a pretty short romp, but it is definitely fun. I think I have completed the main game and 98% of the expansion in like 9-10 hours? It's such a shame. This game was amazingly fun until they nerfed alot of the spells, including the shield and then added 4 or 5 different DLC packs at the one time. DLC isn't bad but added several at the same time just seems like shoveling them out to me. @Joe: Length isn't the problem lol, I always get stuck playing something else. Though I will say that the inability for like checkpoints (or some sort of save function that is that doesn't involve beating the entire chapter) has detoured me a little bit from making another run at it. 8:30 PM on 05.23.2013 Black Ops 2's Revolution DLC has a free trial weekendCall of Duty: Black Ops 2's Revolution map pack will be free to play on Xbox 360 this weekend, Activision's Dan Amrich announced, who only confirmed the promotion for Microsoft's console.
