Gears of War got a bit bigger this week with the release of a new map pack - Hidden Fronts. The downloadable arenas are currently available on Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). The pack will be free to all on September 3.
The map quartet's biggest selling point is probably its diversity. The settings include a dark and rainy swamp, an underground factory, a gas-choked greenhouse and even a subway station. Some new gameplay elements have been added as well. The greenhouse's lethal fumes can be controlled with a central switch station and, in the swamp, lights can be knocked out to attract murderous swarms of Kryll.
If you're still on the fence about purchasing the new content, take a look at our four custom gameplay videos. We've got one blood-soaked movie per map... they'll give you an excellent idea of what you're getting for your money.

Bullet Marsh: "In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll."
