Of all the Xbox 360 games to have their content bolstered by inexpensive downloadable content, it had to be Bullet Witch, the most amazingly average game ever released for the console. Atari has announced the beginnings of a long stream of DLC coming out over the course of the coming weeks, starting with a free White Witch costume, a theme pack, and the new "Dynamite Beauty" mission, which only costs 20 points. Both of these should be available soon, if not now.

Then the next few weeks will see the release of five new missions, five enhanced versions of original missions, and several new costumes, including schoolgirl, secretary, pixie, and mummy. It really is a staggering amount of support for a game that is hardly even worth renting. Michael Fahey

Players take control of Alicia on her heroic quest to prevent the decimation of mankind by using her fearsome weaponry and spectacular powers with which she can manipulate natural phenomena in her environment.
