Well it now turns out that the rumors were correct, and Xbox 360 gamers can look forward to it arriving soon.

According to Mark Fajardo over on the justpushstart.com website, Microsoft has recently confirmed that the new “Defiant Map Pack” will be arriving on March 15th. The upcoming DLC will feature three new maps: Unearthed, Highlands and Condemned.

As Mike Jackson at computerandvideogames.com recently noted, the “Defiant Map Pack” will be available to purchase for 800 Microsoft Points. As well as adding three new maps to the Halo: Reach game, the new DLC will also give players 150 new Achievement points to unlock.

The “Unearthed” map takes place at a Titanium mine and refinery that’s located in the Viery civilian sector of the planet. This map enables up to 4 players to launch a counter-assault against the Covenant in Firefight modes such as Generator Defense.

“Highlands” is set on the Military Wilderness Training Preserve. This map supports 8-16 players, in gametypes such as Big Team Battle, Team Objective and Team Slayer. “Condemned” takes place aboard the Orbital Station Gamma, and supports 6-12 players in gametypes such as Free for All and Team Slayer.

This little-known magazine has given Lionhead’s latest game 8 out of 10, which to us seems very good.

There is not much to go on here; we do not know how they come up with the score, so we will have to wait until the real reviews are made available. However, we have to remember that an opinion to a game is unique to each player – so we cannot wait until you have a copy of the game and offer us your view.

Fable 3 (see screen shots) has already been met with criticism, as what was once an Xbox exclusive will soon be available to the PC as well. As you would imagine there is a lot of reasons why this is, but some of the CVG readers have a lot to say on the matter.

We should expect the true reviews of Fable 3 to be available after October 29, 2010, which is when the game is released. Do you think that the game can truly score 8 out of 10?
