Mass Effect DLC on Live today News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft has released the Bring Down the Sky downloadable content on Xbox Live.
It costs 400 Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80) and offers-up an uncharted world to plod around. Or an asteroid station, if you want to be picky.
You see, some four-eyed Batarians (appearing for the first time) have claimed it as their base of operations for an extremist group, and plan to crash it into a nearby colony and kill millions. Unless you stop them. Or help them. Terrorist.
In total there should be around 90 minutes of fresh adventure on offer, as well as a new Achievement totalling 50 Gamerpoints.
It's also worth remembering that those of you too far advanced in the story will not be able to access this: you need full galaxy-exploration freedom to receive the quest and get to the asteroid.
The download is 253.40 MB, and is the first of many future additions to the widely acclaimed science fiction role-playing game.
Our Mass Effect gamepage has lots more information in that you can eat with your eyes.

I shall be getting this game. It was awesome first time around and it helps to have the carrot of an extra download. If we're lucky there will be some more scenes of Keith Vaz baiting alien loving.

Having been burnt by the BioShock "Brass Balls" achievement, I held off playing Mass Effect till this DLC was released, and I think that was a good move. Although now I'm knee-deep in Fable, so I may have to wait a little bit longer before I sample some alien lovin'. But I'm really looking forward to playing this one...

I was quite thorough on my first play though, but kept the asteroid exploration and side missions to a minimum the second time around (which isn't finished a might add). If the driving bugs you (me too) to the degree that you risk not bothering with the game, I would just sack it off. The main mission has only small sections of driving in it, in much more interesting and more easily navigable locations too. Its worth persisting as the bulk of the game is much more fun. |

Bugs... WTF are you talking about. I think you mean "Glitches", in my mind there is a difference. Texture pop in, and the odd audio burp does not take away from the fun you have playing this game. Bugs are when the game bombs... like in PGR after doing a cone challenge 15x and finally winning and the game crashes.... RAARRRRR That my friends is a bug!
Mass Effect is a great game! |

I found the driving to be a total pain in the arse....
...until I realised that it wasn't like Halolll's Warthogs. In fact - the vehicle just goes in whichever direction you are pushing the stick - meaning you don't have to line it up, and then push forwards. For me, this also means that it is possible to engage enemies on planets, out in the open, and do a passable imitation of a circle strafe. |

Combined with the jump jets makes short work cleaning up the bad guys/turrets/threshers. |

I wish Bio-Ware wouldn't add content that you can only play during certain progress. I've completed the game around 6 times now and don't particularly feel like finishing it again although I want to experience new content.
When they brought out the new planet for KotOR it wasn't too bad. I mean, that game is actually good enough to warrant starting a new game to experience new content, while Mass Effect isn't. |

Great...
Everybody who has finished the game has to start all over again just to be able to do the galaxy exploration, and get to this... Why couldn“t Bioware leave us the chance to explore once the main quest was over? Bad design decision, and I don't intend to restart Mass Effect everytime a new dlc gets released.... |
