Once again this pack has its high points and its low points, though this time its high points dominate. The pack contains 4 full costumes and one ‘bald’ headpiece (Made famous for many of you by our friend Mnimmo). The pack also contains a few strange stickers that in my opinion aren’t of much use as they all relate to varying degrees to Ragdoll Kungfu.
Now I'm forever going to be known as baldy... 
I can't get out of that one now...

Killzone 2 Minipack
The Killzone minipack comes with one of the largest assemblance of stickers in a minipack I've ever seen. The stickers themselves aren't incredibly useful, but the Japanese lettering is very good for 'those final touches' on some levels. The costumes in the pack are very. The seperation of the Helghan gas mask and helmet lets you use the pieces creatizely. Furthermore, the Helghast armor looks very good as armor in MANY costumes. The Sev costume skin is good to use as a skin in many human costumes, and the mohawk is many costumes. Sev's clothing can be put to use as a soldier, and the entire costume looks GREAT coupled with the soldier helmet. I am disapointed in the lack of a Helghast skin. However, the Killzone pack is simply one of the best minipacks. The price is definitely good.
Overall 8.5/10.

Great thread.... I can see where it would be very useful for people who don't buy every piece of DLC. However, I would have to disagree with youon the materials part of the Monsters vs History review.
The materials in the history pack don't hold up too well if you want to color them, especially a solid color. The Hyroglyphs, for example, still show up, no matter what. The Materials in the Monster Pack can be colored and just look like textured materials.
I like the objects in the History Pack quite a bit more than the couple that come in the Monster Pack. (The bell, for example. I especially like that you can connect a string under the bell.)
As for the stickers. The history pack is the way to go if you're looking for architecture. (The story stickers seem to lack in this respect.) But, if characters are what you're looking for, then the Monster Pack is the way to go. (Which, up until its release, I had always lamented the lack of variety when it came to eyes, in particular.)
I, for one, would like to be able to pick and choose the items in the DLC. (Maybe being able to get just the Chesterfield material for a dollar, for example) After all, they do that with individual costumes, why not break down the kits into smaller "mini kits"?
Great thread, though... I'm looking forward to the next review!

I definitely second this. If I had to recommend a pack centered around costumes, it would certainly be the Killzone 2 Mini Pack. It's always been one of my favorite DLC packs for having two really cool looking costumes (Helghast and Sev) and quite a few useful stickers for only $2.99. While there's no Helghast skin, I always thought the costume looked perfect with ninja skin. The stickers in the Killzone 2 Mini Pack work especially well for military bases and space stations (the sign stickers can be very useful when making environments like these).
The Killzone minipack comes with a very large collection of 32 stickers. The stickers themselves aren't incredibly useful, but the Japanese lettering is very good for 'those final touches' on some levels, and in future dystopia’s, such as that that the game Killzone is set in.
The costumes in the pack, though only two, are very good. The separation of the Helghan gas mask and helmet lets you use the pieces creatively. Furthermore, the Helghast’s armour can be used as armour in a variety costumes. The ‘Sev’ costume skin is good to use as a skin in many human costumes, and the Mohawk too, especially for making a Mr.T costume. Sev's clothing can be put to use as a soldier, and the entire costume looks great coupled with the soldier helmet.
Final Note: I am disappointed in the lack of a Helghast’s skin, however, simply put the Killzone pack is one of the best minipacks around. The price is great too, at only $3.00 (£2.39)
Jaslow’s Score: 8.5/10.
