Too many puzzle games, so little time. It’s been awhile since I’ve played Q Entertainment’s Xbox Live Arcade version of Meteos Wars, but I’m thinking about jumping back in. Today, Q Entertainment announced the game’s second bit of downloadable content, ‘Galaxy Pack.’
The DLC adds nine new planets to the base game. If you’re a fan of the Nintendo DS version, the content should be familiar: all but two of the additions are new to the series.
It’s priced at 350 Microsoft Points. I can’t do that math — I don’t think in alien numbers — but I do know that it’s cheaper than 800 Microsoft Points, which is equal to ten bucks … or something like that.
Hit the break for the press release and check out the gallery for a screenshot.
