Test Drive Unlimited Gets New Xbox 360 DLC
Proof enough that there is a sense of balance to the world, just days after Activision shocked the Xbox 360 community with their overpriced Guitar Hero II song packs, Atari rolls onto the scene with some new Test Drive Unlimited downloadable content...for free. While there is a difference, to be sure, between racing and playing a guitar, it is nice to know that gamers will be able to catch an occasional break when they’re looking to get a little more out of their games. The Test Drive Unlimited DLC comes from a new deal between game developer/publisher Atari and luxury carmaker Lexus. 360 owners can now head to the Xbox Live Marketplace and download two new vehicles: the Lexus GS 450h and the Lexus LS 460. More content is expected later this year, including the Lexus SC 430 and Lexus 2008 LS 600h L.
