On January 11, early Thursday morning, new downloadable content will be available for Epic Games' Gears of War. By this time, you've probably memorized every single corner of every map and memorized every facet of the game. So we believe that the release is rather timely.
The content contains two new map packs and was made possible in cooperation with the Discovery Channel. Dubbed as "Raven Down" and "Old Bones," the description of the two is as follows:
* Raven Down: A Raven Helicopter has gone down in the middle of a large scale battle with the omnipresent Locust Horde. Gears have taken out the Seeder and gamers join Delta Forces moving into the crash site from all angles to search for survivors.

* Old Bones: In an attempt to eradicate any traces of human history and culture, the Locust Horde has emerged under Sera's Capitaline Museums and has begun to destroy them brick by brick. Each gamer's mission is to help the Delta Force recapture the museums before all remnants of humankind's existence are obliterated.
