Arcade DLC Roundup: December 7th, 2011 [UPDATED]

The monster arena of doom

Written by punkyliar on 07 December 11 at 22:15 , updated on 07 December 11 at 22:15

Today sees two Xbox LIVE Arcade games receive DLC, but only one of these games adds further achievements to their total. Here is today's list:

Defense Grid: The Awakening
• "Defense Grid: You Monster" - 400 MSP (this has achievements)
Portal’s GLaDOS invades the world of Defense Grid in this first full-story expansion to the award winning game. Eight new maps break all the rules, and 35 additional challenge missions provide 15+ hours of new gameplay. Purchase this new chapter in the story of Defense Grid now!Voltron: Defender of the Universe
• "Arena of Doom" - 240 MSP
Welcome to the Arena of Doom! Destroy wave after wave of King Zarkon’s forces, surviving for as long as you can. Each wave of enemies increases in power, as does your score bonus for completing it. How high can you reach?Edit: Defense Grid: The Awakening adds five achievements worth a total of 50G. Unfortunately, the achievements are not on Xbox.com yet. I would recommend waiting for the achievements to be added before playing the DLC. If you have already earned one or more of these achievements, they will not count towards your gamerscore or achievement total. When the achievements are put on Xbox.com, you will have to recover your gamertag and re-earn the achievements for them to count. We'll be sure to let you know when the achievements will be counted properly.

Edit 2: The achievements for Defense Grid: The Awakening have now been added to Xbox.com. You can now play the DLC without any concerns.

Wow, I've had Defense Grid partially started for a year and a half... Now, there's DLC to pick up. It's fun, but I haven't had the patience to play through. I gotta get crackin' on this.

I bought both DLC packs and can confirm that Voltron does NOT add new achievements.

However, Defense Grid DOES add new achievements but they are not showing on Xbox.com yet.

5 new achievements for 50 gamerscore and they are all worth 10 points each:

Majestic Pony - Earn a Bronze medal on all missions in the You Monster campaign.

Savant Genius - Earn a Gold medal on any story mission past "Divided Attention" in the You Monster campaign.

Beating a Dead Potato - Earn a Gold medal on any 35 missions in the You Monster campaign.

Best Friends Forever - Earn a gold medal on all story challenge missions in the You Monster campaign.

You Monster - Earn a Gold medal on all story missions in the You Monster campaign.

You would think by now that Microsoft would have their shit together and make sure the new achievements are ready to go before they release the dlc.

I can't earn a toy soldiers dlc achieve because of this issue.
So I'll never be able to complete it..... Ever.
2 jobs, 10 hour days, 6 days a week and I still destroy games.

The Defense Grid DLC is great. Several new modes for existing levels and several new Portal style levels with a few surprises you haven't seen before...
