It’s easy to get excited about a game before it comes out, but after you’ve finished the title what is there to look forward to? Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s DLC add-on’s for games you’ve probably already finished.

On April 22, Valve will release its first set of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, an expansion called The Passing.
