BioWare recently released some spankin’ new Mass Effect DLC, but, uh, it seems like they forgot to tell everyone. Titled “Pinnacle Station,” the Mass Effect DLC made a minimal impact upon landing, mostly because there was little-to-no pre-release hype associated with its launch. Oh sure, there were some hints – a wink, a nudge, and even a leak – but not a(n official) word from Microsoft or BioWare.
You’d think it’d be in your best interest to promote a new addition to your two year-old game, seeing as how most people have probably shelved it at this point. But then, we’re not marketing experts, so what do we know?
Anyway, the DLC costs five Washingtons – or one Lincoln – and gets Shepard and co. back in shape for Mass Effect 2 with 13 brand new combat missions.
Go grab it here, if you’re interested.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about this game. Also, I am not hyped up at all about ME2.
- Repetitive missions
- Stupid space "exploration"
- Mako controls sucked
- Squad command system sucked - after half way through the game, I never issued orders, not really caring what they did.
- Bland emotions/dialouge
- there was no reason to put sex in the game (just a stupid way to sell to horny teenage boys)
- inventory sucked
I have to say - when the game shined - it really shined. Usually during heavy combat. Other than that - BLAH.
KOTOR had that "special something" that Mass Effect did not have.
