I loved the sequel, so getting new content to blast through is fine by me, and the fact that it feels fresh thanks to the pacing means I'll be kept on my toes. You eventually go to a new place and fight some new bad guys, but you'll be seeing old locales and fighting familiar enemies. This is a very traditional expansion - it's just an icon that pops up on the in-game map once you've downloaded it and cleared the third mission.

You start with a Pulse Rifle, and pretty much every battle is made up of waves of Necromorphs coming at you and you mowing them down. I know lots of people lost their minds when it was said that Dead Space 2 would have more action game moments, but Severed is all action game moments. The mechanics are the same as Dead Space 2, but the pacing is sped up. This download includes some multiplayer stuff, but I haven't played that yet. Picking up after the final memory sequence in Brotherhood, this eight-mission download kicks off with Leonardo Da Vinci getting nabbed by bad guys and Ezio heading off to save the namesake of a Ninja Turtle. Ezio is back, and his life is filled with the normal amount of killing and such.
