Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Twisted Gears DLC Available Now

With all the hullabaloo over the Game Informer's Rise of the Tomb Raider preview, the latest Temple of Osiris DLC release flew in under the radar. The second expansion pack, titled "Twisted Gears," launched Monday on Steam, Xbox LIVE, and PSN. Players who already purchased the Season Pass just need to visit the Community Chest in the game to unlock the new content. If you haven't yet purchased this DLC, or the Icy Death pack released in January, it is also available separately.

The Twisted Gears pack includes the following:

• Playable area: Tomb of the Embalmer
• Costume: The Original (Tomb Raider 2 Lara)
• Weapon: Cluster Bomb Launcher
• Amulets: Sekhmet's Wrath, Osiris's Silver Fire Flail
• Rings: Sekhmet's Blessing, Sekhmet's Retribution
  
  

If you've played it, I'd love to hear what you think. Please post a comment below or ping me on Facebook or Twitter. I enjoyed both DLC packs and was very happy to see the new areas are challenging, full-length levels and not just abbreviated puzzle/combat rooms, like the Guardian of Light DLC.
