Mass Effect fans have been waiting for the Batarian based downloadable content for their favorite sci-fi epic, and it has finally arrived today. For 400 Microsoft Points, players will get to whomp-em-aliens for about 90 minutes in “Bring Down the Sky”, if the official word is to be believed.
Taking on a planet-hunting hijacked Batarian moon-rock, the crew of the Normandy will need to lay out some serious whoop-ass to the four-eyed freaks if they plan on banking the new 50 point achievement for completing the mission.
It takes approximately ten minutes to download, and is easier to access than was previously said. To access it, simply hit up your Galaxy Map in the Normandy and head down to Asteroid X57, a rock in the middle of the Asgard system in the Attican Beta cluster. Check out the official page here, or read below for more information.
I am gonna go with yeah, but that could be my inner super-sci-fi-nerd. I really hope this takes off, because the potential for totally radical DLC is limitless for Mass Effect.
