    Can't find Microsoft Treasure Hunt in the Marketplace. Each time I click the "Xbox sore link", it redirects me to the Xbox Store (The win 8 app) main menu instead of bringing me to the game page.

    You will need to switch your region to Trinidad and Tobago before clicking the link.

    It isn't yet on Xbox.com. I'll add it when it finally appears, but it got to the point where I couldn't wait for Microsoft to sort their act out any longer and I had to push the article out. It's getting that way with the Red Stripe deals too.

    MS is so greedy! $15 for 200G in KS DlC's? Come on.. Sometimes I wish I was not a completionist as it's become an expensive hobbie!

    THIS! My favorite N64 game by far.

    What's with the sh*te KSR DLC? Seriously??

    I like my Kinect, always have done. I've got all three KS on my card, but I acknowledge that not everyone likes Kinect. If MS want to change that, coming out with money-grabbing DLC like this is really NOT the answer.
    The DLC Rare should have been working on ought to have been more like the party pack add-on in KS1 - more modes for the sports in the game, and FREE, to encourage more people to try it out.

    This is half-baked DLC at ridiculously over-inflated prices. If they REALLY wanted to charge for this, it should have been under £5 for the lot.

    Are you kidding me? £2.29 for EACH of the 6 challenge packs? Which basically just add a costume? I'm pretty sure sponsor challenges were advertised as part of the main game, and they can pretend they're a great new feature, but you're essentially just playing the same sports again with basic goals like "use the turret 3 times", which any decent player should be doing anyway!

    I've been an avid supporter of KS Rivals since Day One, and recommended it to many friends, but this is a complete rip-off. Putting achievements in there is the poisonous icing on the cake, so in order to get 100% completion we now have to pay an extra £15 for NO new content on top of the £50 we've already paid for the game, which although fun feels very low on content compared to Kinect Sports 1 with its fun mini games...

    I remember finishing the story of this game within the first few days and David Tennant telling me that I could earn extra coins through sponsor challenges. I remember reading a similar thing in the official Rivals FAQ. I thought joining a Team would be the start of the main story, but then it just stopped. Smells very strongly of cut content if you ask me! Content which feels like it was cut out of the original game in order to bleed your loyal fans dry.

    I realise the press release that's been sent out to all the games websites boast "an impressive 24 new stories for each team!" and that generously these are included in the free update, but let's break that down...

    1) Play a game of tennis against the first opposing team's vice captain.
    2) Play a game of tennis against the second opposing team's vice captain.
    3) Play a game of tennis against the first opposing team's captain.
    4) Play a game of tennis against the second opposing team's captain.

    Do that for each sport and you have 24. Not exactly 24 new stories! Not even 24 new cutscenes. I'd argue there's not a single smidgen of story to be found. Are they going to try and sell us cutscenes next month for £3.29 a pop? Maybe the ability to play random opponents over Xbox Live in the £9.99 Multiplayer DLC pack (which comes with over 6,000,000 new stories!)?

    These packs should be free, or at the very least 99p. Take a look at Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. I'm very disappointed in how they seem to be taking things. Looking at the game now leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I'm sure I'm not alone.

    Vote with your wallets people, don't buy this scam DLC!

    I know, but at the time of writing it still hadn't been added to Xbox.com. In the 12 hours since my post, it has now appeared. I'll edit it in soon.

    Already almost 50 completions on Nutjitsu, sheesh. Figure it's short but can anyone vouch if it's any fun? Smells like prime 'Games with Gold' fodder when they finally start rolling out the bone perks
