Mass Effect News, Walkthrough, and Screenshots

Many of you may be aware that Bioware has officially announced the release of new downloadable content for Mass Effect on March 10. The DLC is called Bringing Down the Sky and will cost users 400 ms points (about $5). This is great news for those of us who beat the game a long time ago. Hopefully Bringing Down the Sky is just the first of many Mass Effect downloadable releases.

Here’s the official word from Bioware:

Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.

Bring Down the Sky contains approximately 90 minutes of heart-pounding action and a new Achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points.

I know some of you might be concerned about paying for only 90 minutes of added content, but that 90 minutes doesn’t include replay and exploration time. If you take your time and explore hidden details without just sprinting through everything, you will find added value in the download.

Bioware has said this is just the first of many downloads. I wonder if we’ll be left in a cliff hanger so they leave us wanting more?
