The other day, EA smacked us over the head with a bottle of "we're surprising the crap out of you" and released some new downloadable content for ... The Godfather? Yes sir, someone at EA thought creating paid DLC for The Godfather was a great idea and we wouldn't disagree if it wasn't for the fact that we don't believe anyone has played the game for over a year. But watcha gonna do? Anyway, the new Corleone Challenge expansion pack is on the XBLM for 260 Microsoft points and adds twelve new missions to the game as well as ten additional achievements worth 250 Gamerscore. Yeah ... where the heck did this come from again?
The Godfather gets Corleone DLC and achievos

Shouldn't at least 165 of this gamerscore be free? ( to bump the game up to 1000 ?)

exactly what I was going to say! was silly leaving some gs out of the original game. I might have to get this, just to do some 'gamescore whoring'

this thread seems to indicate it's actually 415 new achievement points bumping the game up to 1250

in theory since the game came out prior to the Microsoft policy on gamerscore, I guess they can get off charging for it.
p.s. I totally support the shortening of achievements to "achievos", especially because it annoys Knuckles ;>

I don't have this game, but the size of the content sure looks suspicious. 108kb for an expansion pack? This smells like on-disc content unlocked with a key.

The reason for that is probably based on the fact that the missions in the game take place in the same levels over and over again. That was my main problem with the game. You just had to master a few level layouts and then you could waltz through the game. It made for EXTREMELY repetitious gameplay.
I would guess that this is the extra content from the Wii version.

I don't care, this is STILL a great game. Probably the most underrated game on the 360. PLEASE HURRY WITH THE SEQUEL!!!

Whenever or not, you bought this, finished it, shilled out for the first batch of DLC or didn't manage to reach respect level 50 during the normal course of the game, there are so many great games out now to place this one at the top of your list because of some lame DLC pts content is the definition of retarded.

Yeah, I'm also having problems with XBL. The clock got auto-set since I unplugged my 360 to move stuff around but other than that, it tells me it's not connecting. Ran tests and XBL part fails, so random downtime would be my best guess.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT... Achievos is allowed, but cheevos is not? What the hell? Is this why Knuckles left? Dustin wanted to abbreviate Achievement and he wouldn't stand for it?
