April News Roundup

With the hottest April on record coming to a close (at least it was here in dear old Blighty), here's what's been happening in the World of Rare during the last calendar month.

As it turns out, April was a big month for Sports fans. After the sizzling reception to our first DLC offering just before Christmas, we felt it only right to deliver another game add-on that would keep your temperature rising. The Calorie Challenge DLC was announced and released this month, so if you haven't donned your running vest and sweat bands just yet, sprint over to Xbox.com to download and get your fitness on.

Alongside this release, we've also managed to break a Guinness World Record (thanks by the way), talk to the press about the future, and get nominated for three industry awards... not too shabby with all the bank holidays we've lazily enjoyed this past month.
