The latest Xbox Live Newsbeat update included release dates for two pieces of downloadable content that we didn't even know existed. We typically don't care for surprises, but we're willing to make an exception if it means we get more maps for the multiplayer component of BioShock 2 and more things to explode in Just Cause 2.

On April 29, six new multiplayer maps will be added to BioShock 2 as part of the "Rapture Metro Map Pack." For 800 ($10), players get the new arenas, three new masks, a "Kill 'Em Kindly" Melee deathmatch mode, and three new Achievements. Just Cause 2 will receive the "Black Market Aerial Pack," a 160 ($2) booster which adds the chaingun-toting F-33 DragonFly Jet Fighter, a multi-lock missile launcher and a parachute thruster which extends your airtime whilst leisurely sailing across the Panauan landscape. How... unexpextedly soothing!

I wish 2k would work on patches as much as they work on their DLC.

Sweet! Can't wait for the Just Cause 2 stuff!

Yeah, that Just Cause 2 DLC sounds sweet, especially for the price. I wonder how the parachute thruster works? Like a short burst jet pack to give you momentum?

I can't wait to download the just cause 2 dlc... oh wait... my xbox is broken....

I'll show you how thrusting works.

Yeah that looks pretty cool, the Just Cause one.

GG. Yes!

Waiting to see if Bioshock 2 stuff is on the disk or not like the first DLC, also, did they ever patch the freezing issue?
