Colosseum pack adds new skins and multiplayer arenas.
Remember Ryse, the "hot one" at the launch day ball? The game we deemed a "pleasant surprise" in the face of much partisan rancour and ballyhooing about resolution? Crytek has released an update for it, which adds two free level events to the multiplayer. There's also the Colosseum DLC, now available for $3.99.

Who can forget Ebenezer Scrooge's famous lamentation at the end of Dickens' A Christmas Carol? 'I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!'

DJ Killzown Jones of RGN writes, "Ryse : Son of Rome is a third person action/adventure game developed by Crytek and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox ONE. The game follows Roman commander Marius as he leads his armada against the invading barbarians and tells of his story to his rise to power. The game is set in Ancient Rome before the fall of the empire and the setting feels immersive so players will really feel as if they are there with the characters on-screen. Crytek really did a good job in harnessing the power of the Xbox ONE for this game. Every sound in this game (the music, the voice actors, the effects) will really boom in your sound system or speaker setups. The level of quality in this game is on par with that of a movie and will really keep you in tune with whats going on around you."

Crytek weaves some tech-magic for this Xbox One exclusive game and COG steps out of the coliseum for a bit to tell you what they think. "At E3 2013 Microsoft featured Ryse: Son of Rome as a game that would show naysayers what the Xbox One was capable of; however, the general consensus was that the game had quite a ways to go before being a must have title. Fast forward to present day, the Xbox One and Ryse are finally on store shelves and the Xbox faithful finally have a chance to see what, if any, improvements have been made since the shaky E3 showing. Having played the game in its entirety, and having played the multiplayer with a couple of friends, I have to say that although this game can be amazing at times, it's the gameplay as a whole that may have some shaking their heads."
