Mass Effect DLC released on PC News
PC News by Robert Purchese
The PC version of Mass Effect mission pack Bring Down the Sky is now available to download.
This is completely free for those punching keys and wiggling mice, though there do seem to be some teething problems.
Members of the official Mass Effect forum point to graphical glitches with NVIDIA cards as well as various technical hiccups after installing the Bring Down the Sky content.
If you can find a "repair" option in the "configure" settings of the game launcher, the problems should be fixable. However, this "repair" appears to only be available in the US version of the game.
Bring Down the Sky is already available on Xbox 360, but sadly felt like a missed opportunity to us. Head over to our Bring Down the Sky review to find out why.
Mass Effect was released for PC in May and is the better of the two versions available, thanks to more organised inventory, hot-keys, and separable squad commands.
Catch up with our thoughts in the Mass Effect PC review.

Hmmmm. An interesting decision. Not sure how that will sit with people who have bought the 360 version.

It was supposed to be free at the launch of the game.
I finished the game a month or so ago, and it was great but I'm not sure I can be bothered to go through it again. From what I've read about the DLC that probably isn't enough to make me rethink that. Maybe I'll give it another go in a year or so. |

Well Oblivion followed the same model on all platforms when it came to purchasable content. I realise that the longer wait does perhaps mean that something else has to be bundled in to ensure gamers are happier with the wait. I guess its not really much different to a GOTY edition. |

Awesome! Now my limited edition tin is going to continue to lose value over time! I thought this crap was supposed to go up!

Rather disappointed with the DLC, not really a lot to do, and pretty pointless story wise.

It was always advertised as being free for PC users, and it was supposed to be at release as well - to entice more sales.
I've since moved on to other games now anyway, but I might check it out if I give ME another run through at some point. |
