What better way to spend this Thanksgiving holiday than slaying Locusts and Lambents on some free downloadable Gears of War 3 maps?

What better way to spend this Thanksgiving holiday than slaying Locusts and Lambents on some free downloadable Gears of War 3 maps? Well, if your answer is, "There is none," you'll be happy to know that you can now download Gears 3's Versus Booster Map Pack for the low price of zilch on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The DLC, sponsored by Paramount Pictures' upcoming Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, features five new maps for the game's social matchmaking multiplayer modes. Two of them are brand new -- Bullet Marsh and Clocktower -- while the other three, which are from the previous Horde Command Pack DLC, are making their way to competitive multiplayer from Horde Mode (Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive).

But the DLC isn't the only thing happening in the Gears 3 world starting today.

Gamers who watch the Mission Imposible - Ghost Protocol trailer on Xbox Live and complete Gears 3's campaign on the "Insane" difficulty setting will unlock a weapon skin pack inspired by the Paramount flick. (Those who already have completed the campaign on "Insane" need not worry, you'll automatically get your skin pack on Dec. 31.) The task must be completed by Dec. 25.

Finally, also starting today, gamers who view the Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol trailer on Xbox Live or download the movie's free gamer pic and theme pack will be entered for a chance to win an "ultimate" home theater package along with the complete Mission Impossible Blu-ray DVD series. (Watching the trailer and downloading the theme pack will gain you two entries!) Be sure to visit the Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol Experience on Xbox Live for the contest's official rules.

So, I guess the turkey can wait. A weapon skin pack is prize enough to go through the hellish, soul-depleting experience of conquering Gears of War 3 on "Insane," am I right?

Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
