For those gamers who love simplicity, N+ probably seemed like the perfect title -- puzzle solving, clean lines and lots of gravitational challenges. It may have faded from your radar a little bit since its Xbox Live debut, but you may find the flame rekindled when you hear the latest news from Metanet Software: 3 downloadable packs have been submitted to Microsoft. More from their blog: We just submitted three downloadable levelpacks for N+ XBLA (one of which is free), we’ll be posting with more details as soon as we get a launch time. In total there will be over 750 new levels! The multiplayer maps in particular (over 300 of them) are a lot better than the ones that came with N+, since we’ve had more time to learn what works. We made sure to include more co-op maps, since they’re apparently quite popular.. these ones are even harder, so start practicing! There’s also a small bonus in each pack which will remain secret for now.. or will it?!
My favorite thing about effective downloadable content -- and by effective I mean that it makes me go back and play something that I thought I wouldn't pick up again for a while -- is how it can make a game appealing in the same way it was when it was brand new. It won't be immediate, as these will obviously have to go through a certification process before release, but it's something nice to look forward to. [Via GameBytes -- Thanks, Joe] |

OK at first glance I thought you were talking about a sequel called N=, which would be the greatest sequel name ever. Or N-
No wait...N+1! Brilliant. I have to get into marketing.
My typos fail so hard. I'm surprised Samit hasn't come to Miami and shot me.
Fine...ruin my joke. See what I care.
OMG .... this is 750 more reasons to throw my XBOX controller across the room.
I actually just got to episode 29 on he XBLA version, and I've only thrown my controller across the room twice. Only 21 more episodes to go. Lets see how I hold up ...
YES!
Usually ill throw a tantrum playing frustrating games but something about N+, that has me running around the same tiny map, getting blown up every 3 seconds by heat seeking missiles for sometimes up to 45 mins straight, doesnt fill me with rage.
I love this game and i cant wait for more co-op!
Nice one, good to see companies are adding worthwhile content to their games, especially Criterion and Burnout Paradise.
I read that weeks ago.
Still no new information.
want moar n+ damnit
Oh Man!!! Great News Day!!!!
I haven't beaten all of the original set, but I was just thinking how much I'd like more / different levels that I didn't need to unlock.
Been rocking the free PC/MAC/Linux version lately, I'll def end up buying this, though.
I'll download the free pack for sure.
I need to finish the original game first but i'll be downloading the free pack for sure. I don't know about the other two though.
This is awesome, definitely buying them all.
oh its free? what's to think about. gimmie gimmie gimmie nom nom nom
Had a blast with the original levels. Hopefully these new ones are twice as fun.
PC vershun plz ;_; (no not THAT verison)
Damn I still gotta finish the ones that came with it.
Yay more map packs :D I finished all of the episodes and all of the challenge episodes that you unlock after you finish the game so these came just in time.
Ahhh gotta love N+ :)
Did they say "Free" ???
That's pretty awesome.
