Three new achievements:

Undisputed - 50 GS
Complete Ahern's survival mission

New Sheriff in Town - 50 GS
Take first place in any combat scenario on Pinnacle Station

Best of the Best - 50 GS
Take first place in 12 combat scenarios on Pinnacle Station


This sure came out of nowhere--we knew DLC was coming but I don't remember them ever announcing what or when. I'll have to dust off ME to play this and get those last two achievements (and these three new ones)!

Wow, that's unexpected. I never got the first one since I couldn't justify 400 points for 40 minutes of semi-new gameplay, bit this looks pretty good.

Also, make your avatar look like Shepard with N7 Armor for only 320 MS Points.

Think I'll have to pass on this one.

EDIT: Lots of (pricey) ME goodies in the Avatar Marketplace. Ashley's armor, helmet, t-shirts, caps...

The fanboys on GameFAQs are not being too terribly kind to this one. Still, any reason to play more Mass Effect is fine with me. Makes you wonder how the DLC will tie ME1 into ME2.

This kind of came out of nowhere. They were talking about it months ago, then it got delayed. I was in a Mass Effect frenzy a few months ago, but now...meh...maybe I'll get it, but probably not. At least not any time soon.

They're probably just making sure that nobody forgot about Mass Effect and trying to build the hype engine for ME2.

LOL, what kind of retard would pay that much money for that shiat. $5 for the DLC, $4 for an outfit, and $1 for each piece? These are virtual doll clothes for fuck's sake, not actual clothing!

I prefer the term virtual action figures thank you.

You forgot to point out the biggest error in my post:

I should have said "any amount of money" because literally any amount of money for avatar clothing is stupid. It's not like if they reduced the prices it would make it any less retarded to buy it.

Interesting, but looks like it has some problems.

It sounds like it only affects the "Platinum Hits" version of Mass Effect on the 360.

Yeah, looks like you should be wary if you have the Platinum Hits version of Mass Effect.

How is the DLC accessed? Unfortunately, the earliest save I have for my character is beyond the point of no return on ilos, so do I have to make a new character? If so, then boo.

Wow, this looks awful. Story-free shooter trials against bots. Not the kind of expansion I'm looking for to add to a story-driven RPG.

This what we have to look forward to in ME2?

I know, EA needs a Halo killer, why not turn Mass Effect into a Halo?

Yep I attribute this solely to EA since they own them now.
