New free and 'premium' (i.e. it costs you) downloadable content for 2007 Xbox 360 releases Project Gotham Racing 4 and Overlord are now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Microsoft/Bizarre Creations racer has a new free "Challenge Pack" that will give you the hydrogen-powered 2007 Peugeot Flux to drive, as well as two new game modes. These are the player-requested Tourist Mode, which lets you explore any city in the game, as well as Free Roam Cat and Mouse, where a slow mouse vehicle must avoid enemy cats. A gametype that was popular online in PGR2 despite not being featured in the game, and also get an official airing in a PGR3 add-on pack. As well as this there are an extra 10 achievements to enjoy. All for the price of nothing. If you would like to give these companies some money, then for an additional 400 Microsoft Points (£3.40) you get the "Challenge Pack" which gives you seven new cars; the 2008 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept, 2007 Volkswagen Golf GTI W12-650, 2007 Peugeot Flux, 1987 BMW M3 E30 DTM, 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, 2008 Honda S2000 CR, and 2008 Callaway C16 Speedster. As PGR4 isn't just about cars, you also get three new bikes; the 2007 Yamaha YZF-R1, 1995 Aprilia RS 250, and 1998 Aprilia RSV 1000 Tuono R. The "Challenge" in the title refers to the new World Challenge Arcade Mode which gives you 20 arcade events in 3 themed chapters, including 5 events that can only be done on platinum. All in all, it's worth the money if you're fan of the game.
For Codemasters and Triumph Studio's action adventure title Overlord is also some free content, in the form of the split-screen pack. This adds a two player head-to-head mode to the game, meaning you'll need a second controller for the first time. Up at the 400 MSP price point is the "Challenge Pack" which provides 7 new maps for enjoyment in the online multiplayer mode, while the 800 MSP (£6.80) "Raising Hell" add-on adds more story-driven action to enjoy.
