The sun is starting to heat up the summer, and there's no better way to cool off than with this week's hottest DLC. Turn up the AC unit and check out this week's picks for the Virtual Goods. 

Red Dead Redemption "Outlaws To the End" Co-Op Mission Pack (Xbox 360, PS3)

Ready to add a little more playtime to the best Wild West game in years? Well, saddle up with as many as three additional friends because Rockstar has rustled up six serious co-op missions in this free mission pack that will take you to on new adventures from gold mines to river banks.  

Xbox 360 - Free (Gold Member Exclusive) / PlayStation 3 - Free

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (Xbox Live Arcade)

Face it, Duke Nuke 'em Forever is never going to come out, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't go back and play some of the classics from the franchise, and trust me, Manhattan Project is a classic. Duke needs your help to save NYC, and even though this isn't an FPS, it still has all the signature Duke Nukem features; big guns, babes and things blowing up.

800 MS Points ($10)

Crackdown 2 Demo (Xbox 360)

You played the original and were surprised that you loved it; now it's time to get a taste of what to expect in a few weeks before Crackdown 2 hits. It may end up being more of the same, but when that involves jumping from rooftop to rooftop hunting bad guys and power-up orbs, sign me up again for the Agency. 

Free (Gold Member Exclusive)

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Game Add-On: Onslaught Mode (Xbox 360, PS3)

It's time to team up in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 with the addition of the co-op Onslaught Mode where you and your friends can fight your way across four enhanced multiplayer maps. Race to secure multiple points across the map, and then prove just how good you are by uploading your scores to the leaderboards and  ompete for Bad Company superiority. 

Xbox 360 - 800 MS Points /Playstation 3 - $9.99

Lost Planet 2 – Killzone 2 Helghast Assault and Scout Character (PS3)   

If you're a fan of random crossovers in video games, well this week you're in luck as Capcom adds characters from Sony's Killzone 2 and Lost Planet 2. While they have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, it sure is fun to see the Helghast's menacing look make its way to E.D.N. III. 

Free

Art Style: Rotozoa (Wii)

Anytime a WiiWare or DSiWare title is preceded by the words "Art Style" it's got to be worth a second look, and Rotozoa is no different. In what appears to be some kind of weird amalgamation of Ikaruga and Art Style Orbient, Rotozoa has you floating around in ooze as a microscopic rotozoan just trying to survive in this mixed up, crazy world. The key to the game is to increase the size of your tentacles as you float and spin through the levels.

600 Wii Points ($6)
