Ok so I played the demo for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and I thought it was pretty decent so I'd like to buy this game but now I see that there's a new version out called Lost Planet: Colonies Edition it's like a gold edtion with new multiplayer maps and weapons and a few other things. My first question is does the single player campaign have any different content or is it identical for both versions of the game? For the multiplayer which version of the game has more people playing or are both versions pretty much dead for online play. I know the Colonies Edition has the windows live capability to play with the xbox360 users so it looks like that's the one to get. The only problem is I usually like to buy my games off steam and I see they only have the regular version and I know that both versions aren't compatible with each other for online play. I have a gamestop a bestbuy and a walmart where I live but none of them list the PC version of the colonies edtion in stock. If I buy the regular version can I patch or update it to the colonies edition or is that not possible?


Sorry forgot to post this in the PC gaming section I'm buying for PC

I take it you mean the Colonies Edition right? all those features are new to the colonies edition from what I know. I also forgot to ask does this game have a coop mode too? There is a full story campaign mode right?
