Trying to keep this slow day rollin', GameSpy has posted a review on Sony Online's PlanetSide expansion pack, Core Combat. The game walks away with a final score of 2/5 stars. Here's a blurb:

The idea behind Core Combat is that certain warp gates, called Geowarps, have mysteriously appeared and are linked to caverns that hold ancient, alien technology. The caverns connected to the Geowarps house advanced technology originally used by the Ancients to travel across the universe, and their discovery has sparked the development of new weapons. Originally, these Geowarps were discovered by the Vanu Sovereignty, but the secret of their existence was leaked by traitorous scientists. The information leak has started an all-out war for control of the caverns. All of this seems like a good idea you think would add to the gameplay experience, but it really doesn't.
