First Men of War Assault Squad paid DLC pack released

While developer Digitalmindsoft has been generous with free content additions (new maps and units) for its recent WWII RTS game Men of War Assault Squad today the developer released its first paid DLC pack for the game via Steam, the MP Supply Pack - Alpha.

This $4.99 pack adds five new multiplayer maps to the game for the Assault Zones and Combat game modes. Each map has its own specific setting. The new maps include the 1v1 map Winter Fields, the 2v2 map Plateau, two 3v3 maps (Crossing and Saipan) and a massive 5v5 map titled Train Crossing. This will likely be the first of many such paid map packs for the game.

This Week in PC Games: February 21-27

For the next six weeks, PC gamers will experience a flood of new game titles across many genres. The overflow of games begins this week with a WWII RTS game, a long awaited adventure title, a MMO expansion pack and a first person shooter co-developed by two well known FPS game studios.

Bulletstorm - People Can Fly and Epic Games collaborated on this sci-fi pulp themed shooter that has a bunch of ragtag soldiers stranded on a planet filled with enemies both great and small. The game has players perform combos with their weapons called "Skillshots" and is generally very over-the-top in terms of its violence and its sense of humor.
