Two free Gears of War multiplayer maps hit Xbox Live

Wednesday update offers something old and something new.

"Alright you maggots, get back to the front!"

Can't get enough of Gears of War online multiplayer on Xbox Live? Good news: as of this morning, two new maps are freely available for download to help you stave off your Locust-killing withdrawal.

Less than a day after releasing an update patch for their baby, Epic Games unveils "Raven Down" and "Old Bones." The former depicts a large battle against the Locusts, and the search for survivors, following the downing of a Raven helicopter, while the latter tasks you with winning back museums that the Horde has taken from below. There's also an accompanying video introduction from lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, and a freebie theme pack.

Meanwhile, Namco drops another retro retread on Xbox Live Marketplace with the release of Ms. Pac-Man. Pac-Man might've started the power lunch genre in the golden age of arcades, but Ms. Pac-Man boasts more than one map layout, smarter ghosts, bouncing fruit, and a smoother feel. Grabbing it will set you back a whole 400 points (US$5).
