Xbox360 users got their first dose of Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC titled First Strike by February. PS3 owners followed suit nearly a month later and now, finally, PC gamers will get their hands on this DLC that’ll set them back by $14.99. If you pre-order the pack on Steam right now you could avail of a 10% discount that brings the price down to $13.49 (Rs. 606).

The First Strike is always the hardest

In case you’re a bit clueless as to what this DLC brings to the table, here’s a little heads up:

The First Strike map pack will set you back by 1200 MS points and will include 5 new maps, four of which are competitive ones based loosely on some of the levels from the single player campaign. The co-operative one will bring more Zombie genocide your way.

Black Ops had started off as a real pain on the PC but has now become playable after a multitude of patches. For more on the game, head on over to our review.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
