News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Peer Review goes live next week.

The first set of free Portal 2 DLC, titled Peer Review, launches on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 4th October, developer Valve has announced.

The pack continues the story of Aperture bots P-Body and Atlas as they make their way through a new co-op test track, once again trying to outwit GLaDOS.

On top of that, there's a new single player and co-op Challenge Mode, and leaderboards are now live too.

While you're waiting, the third and final installment of the Portal 2 soundtrack is now up for download free of charge, including Jonathan Coulton's ace end credits tune, Want You Gone.

Why do the best game companies give away free DLC, while the worst ones charge high prices? You'd think it might be the other way around...

Anyway, yay Valve, been waiting for the challenge modes in particular.

! Meanwhile at EA and Bioware !
Chief: "How can they make so much money while giving away free DLC? and regular updates?"
Marketing: "We should like totally set the DLC at 10 / 15 euro next time"
Chief: "ofc, brilliant! - Take that, Portal, Witcher etc.!"

It is heartening to see services like Steam and GOG being altruistic when they could be far, far worse and justified in being so.

You've got to be kidding me. The only reason they're giving the DLC for free is because a) they promised the challenge mode and didn't finish it in time for release and b) they marketed the game by saying first DLC would be free. It was originally slated for a July release, so there is absolutely nothing to be happy about other than the fact it's finally there.

If you're so happy about how Valve is all for the gamers and not interested in money first and foremost, ask yourself this: Why was Portal 2 more expensive on Steam than at Amazon (and a couple more stores)?

@Subdominator: There's always one miserable basement-dwelling cunt who has to moan about free stuff. Congratulations on being that cunt! Have a cry wank into your poop-sock to celebrate.

I never finished the game because the end is so incredibly... different. I don't want to be walking through these stupid caves all the time.

But new challenges sounds awesome.

I actually had to scan through the article a couple of times looking for the price of this DLC - my brain simply doesn't register the word "free" when used in the same sentence as "DLC"
Why can't every games company out there be as awesome as Valve

That's nowhere near the end. It's only about a third of the way into the game!

Once again Valve mark themselves as leagues ahead of most competition through the simple, oft-overlooked act of caring about their fans.
