It hasn't even been a full month since XCOM: Enemy Unknown launched to the public, yet you can already get your hands on the first story-driven DLC. 2K Games and Fireaxis announced that the Slingshot Content Pack is now available to purchase for Windows PC ($6.99), PlayStation 3 ($6.99), and Xbox 360 (560 Microsoft Points).
The add-on pack includes a new Triad operative, three new maps and linked Council missions set in China, a bunch of new weapons and armor, and a few other goodies.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown has been generally well received. Our sister magazine, PC Gamer, gave it an 87/100 score while lauding its "emotion-wringing turn-based storytelling." If you don't already own the game, a free, two-level demo of the single player tutorial campaign is available on Steam

I like this iteration of X-com on PC and got plenty of hours in. I think the PCgamer score 87/100 is about right. Good game, maybe not "great" (needs the few more maps and weapons that this DLC will provide) but I really like turn based titles like this. The game is great fun if you play on the harder difficulties. I'd recommend it.

560 Microsoft points?!! What a low blow, since one cannot buy exactly 560 points it'll take 10 bucks to buy a 7 dollar DLC.
The demo was fun, but even though it is made by an MD studio and I'm a MD resident, I can't say that it was 40+ dollars worth of fun. A much better experience on the PC than on the 360, though I wish they'd devoted their means to PC exclusively. But who here doesn't?

Note that as of December 5th, if you have save games created after the first XCOM patch, those cannot be loaded if you have the new DLC installed!
Hopefully a fix is coming soon.
