From 'Resident Evil 5' to 'Guitar Hero,' today 'Game Over' is just the beginning...
It used to be that the end of a video game was actually the end of the game. You rescued the princess, saved the world, won the Super Bowl, and it was time to play something else (or, heaven forbid, venture outside).
Not anymore. Thanks to next-gen, Internet-ready consoles, gamers can now download new battle arenas ("Call of Duty"), race tracks ("Midnight Club") and other adventures ("Fable II"), giving new life to old games. And it’s not just music games getting new songs, either, as you’ll see from our gallery of the greatest new video game add-ons.—Paul Semel, Special to Metromix
