Pfff, typical, letting noobs buy their way to victory. A real player can win with just pawns, you know, a piece that actually requires skill?

This game is so glitchy. My Knight piece can only move in a stupid L shape! What a rip.

What do those symbols next to the numbers mean? Does that mean you only get 14.99 maps? [/pcgames]

Here's some good DLC (for this game):

a king (Kingman)


a pawn (Pawniard)


a knight ('I'm on a horse' guy - can't remember his name)


the bishop (pedo-pope)

and...

the rook/castle (the one the princess ISN'T in!)

finally, (I think this one's self-explanitory):

Psh I played chess on boards back before it went all "mainstream" and sold out, it's ruined now.

Don't know, the multiplayer looks very unbalance, I mean, the opponent has the same units as you! I will wait the nerf patch.

First Chess Hero, then Backgammon Band...it's a never ending cycle.

The problem with this pic is that Activision publishes the hero games, not EA.

They need to buff the King...I mean, he can only move one space but you lose when he dies. Lame.

Don't worry, I've heard that you can unlock one of the bonus pieces every time you beat the board with a pawn.

Hmm, but are there easy achievements on the xbox version?

Pfft... Map Pack 1 was crap. Just look at 2! Black & White, it's so retro.

Lame. The last map in the second pack is just a re-release of the "ctk_classic" map that came with the original Chess Hero!

I've noticed this too, I actually have a signature on a website somewhere that says "Is the DLC for real life out yet? God left me unfinished with only three limbs and I would really like to have that last one now."

This is done way better though and conveys what I've been feeling for a long time. Oh, and if you pre-order at GameStop you also get the limited edition master chief skin.

3/4 of the achievements come from the DLC content only.

As opposed to the fact the PS3 actually has a few games.

Don't get me wrong, it really does at this point. At least 5.

JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE ME MY REFUND.

Great example of money grabbing DLC. Marvel vs Capcom 3's new Shadow Mode release. Where they literally charge you to fight AI opponents with either a Street Fighter team, a Resident Evil team, or a Darkstalkers team. That's it.

Wonder if theres a Chinease Chess expansion pack..

on a related note im gonna go play (and get my ass kicked) an online game of chess.

Just fired up my trusty ol' copy of F-Zero GX last night after seeing two copies for $5 at the used game store. My how times have changed.

and yet, this has to be the best game ever offered in this form of money whoring.

Whoops. Looks like we've got some butthurt PC trolls.

And soon to be the sad state of PC gaming, if TF2 is any indication.
