    Adds to the success of the Gears of War franchise, but falls short in of itself. Still, a fantastic add-on to a fantastic title. Stand-alone, however, it doesn't make the top 10. I'd rate it the 11th best game add-on of all time.

    Road to Hell chapter gives an interesting twist to the story depending on your choice and it makes you feel like Frodo and Sam entering Mordor, so that`s a great feeling. Great DLC even if its short.

  1. Gears of War 2: Dark Corners is nothing more and nothing less than a well-tailored Map Pack, yet it’s absolutely a must-have for all GoW fans. For your 1200 MS points you also get to play part of a previously cut scene from the single player campaign.

    If you're still playing Gears of War 2 online and have managed to struggle through its rocky development since the game's launch, then you're going to want this content.
  3. A package all of Gears of War 2 fans will be surely please to download and play. A new single player campaign chapter, 7 new maps and a new take on the classical gameplay make up for an experience surely worth of the price.
