Bioware has announced the first piece of downloadable content for the Xbox 360 RPG of the year,
Mass Effect. The new content is titled '
Bring Down The Sky' and will go live on March 10th, costing 400 MS points ($5 or £3.40 in real money).
The pack will add about an hour and a half of new content to
Mass Effect, a game which we included in our
Top 10 of 2007.
The pack will introduce a new uncharted world to the
Mass Effect universe, one which is home to a new race called the Batarians. The new missions will center around stopping an extremist group of Batarian terrorists who have hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard solar system. The asteroid has been set on a collision course with the nearby colony of Terra Nova and it's up to players to put an end to all the foolishness.
Bioware has also confirmed in the press release that the game will add in about 50 gamerscore points for all you point-junkies.
What did you think to
Mass Effect? Is downloadable content a good way to expand a games replayability, or just a big ol' rip off? Let us know what you think in
