GTA IV was one of the best games of 2008 and is getting some nice DLC on February 17th, well for Xbox 360 owners anyway. This is the Microsoft hyped Xbox 360 exclusive content that was promised back before GTA IV was even released.

The Story

The story of the Lost and the Damned follows Johnny Klebitz a member of the biker gang 'The Lost.' Who finds himself in the middle of a gang war when the leader of the gang returns from rehab and is wanting revenge.

New Features

  • New weapons - including the grenade launcher and sawed-off shotgun
  • New vehicles
  • New bike handling and physics.
  • New action-packed multiplayer modes
  • All-new in-game TV, internet and radio content featuring new radio shows and original music.
  • New side-missions
  • New Achievements...

The Bad

The biggest complaint the Lost and the Damned is going to receive is the price point. It is set to release at 1600 Microsoft Points or $20.

Did it miss it's opportunity? The GTA IV hype bandwagon ended long ago. Since it's release we have seen huge games like LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3, Fable II and Gear of War 2. Will gamers want to pay $20 to return to Liberty City and play Lost and the Damned?

The Good

The main story of the Lost and the Damned is rumored to take between 10-15 hours to complete. That's not even including the added side stories mentioned above. So even with a $20 price point that is a very good value! Those who don't think it is a good value but still want to return to Liberty City can search the internets for deals on 1600 point cards.
