Today, Microsoft has announced that the first piece of DLC for Mass Effect will be released on March 10th, for 400 Points ($5). Titled “Bring Down the Sky”, Commander Shepard and crew visit a new uncharted planet, where a Batarian extremist group has hijacked an asteroid station and plans on crashing it into the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. “Bring Down the Sky” presents a new achievement worth 50 points, and supposedly will give us “90 minutes of heart-pounding action” (we’ll see how much of this is actual heart-pounding action and not exploring a desolate planet collecting minerals).

Having completed Mass Effect (it is my most favorite game) as myself, I am now currently playing through as my bitch of a commander, Charlene Shepard. Her and Ashley don’t get along (just as two attractive women on a ship wouldn’t!), but Kaiden sure digs her, and she might like Kaiden back, but wait, maybe she is mean to Ashley because she has a crush on her?! Who knows? Only time (and my perverted mind) will tell.
