Although the majority of the gaming world that own PlayStation 3′s have them connected to the internet, there are still quite a few that do not. Because of this, those that can’t connect to the PSN usually find themselves hosed when it comes to DLC. Well there’s at least one set of DLC that they won’t have to worry about missing.

In last week’s Brink diary, Richard Ham explained how Splash Damage are catering for its hardcore audience, and, in another diary, he explained how they are trying to bridge the gap between single-player and multi-player. In theory, this shouldn’t work because a single-player game is a completely different experience from that of a multi-player game; they each require different skills. In addition to this, the multi-player arena is an intense and often hostile environment, so it’s not a great place to learn how to play properly.
Believe it or not, the PlayStation 3 was released nearly four years ago, and since then the console has been graced with hundreds of great titles.
