    At 9.45 in the morning, a thunderous explosion rocks Los Angeles. City blocks are flattened and smoke and ash fill the air. Detectives Phelps and Biggs race to the site of the former Nicholson Electroplating plant to find a pile of unanswered questions. What caused the explosion? What were Nicholson's employees working on? And where are chief chemist Dr Harold McLellan and his mysterious female assistant?

    It's now available from the XBL site: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Nicholson-Electroplating-Arson-Case/ccea41ac-42b4-4f47-b672-dfc739eb0cfb for 320 points. 
    If you have the Rockstar Pass it's not yet available to download through the in-game menus. This was the case with the rest of the DLC when the pass launched, though, so it should be available within a of couple of hours. 
    EDIT: 5PM GMT - now available if you have the Rockstar Pass. 

    I'm personally looking forward to this, mainly to spend more time around Biggs. I really liked him as a partner, and it will be awesome to have him around for what is, hopefully, a nice meaty case.

    I managed to download and play through it. It's a great little case, not particularly long though

    @Lebensbaum: Easily the best part of the entire case.
     
    FInished it a few minutes ago. I LOVED the opening moments with everyone driving batshit crazy after the explosion. The little touches were great but the actual case was just decent. It's a good thing the fucking hanger was pitch black, or else I might have actually found clues at a normal pace in there.

    @Zombutler: Yeah, I agree, the opening was really great, even if the whole case was a bit on the short side. It's cool they got some more real life people/places in there. It was also neat to see Jack Conley playing Vernon Mapes. It still blows me away how many awesome character actors they crammed into this game.

    It's a good case that manage to balance itself with interrogations, clue finding, action and puzzles. And yes, the opening is excellent.

    dammit, I forgot. I'll download it tomorrow. 
     
    Does it look like it fits in with the story or is it a truly separate case.

    Was a little on the short side, but still an enjoyable ride. Biggs is definitely my favourite partner at this point, some really nice banter between him and Cole throughout. Can't wait for the "Reefer Madness" case! Really hope that it isn't the last.
