This was where I encountered my biggest disappointment. Promptly, I was thrown into the DLC and given details and co-ordinates for the mission ahead. Everyone was at their posts as expected but sadly had nothing new to say to me, not even a “Cor blimey, where the hell have you been?” and so I decided to read the new notification that had arrived at the console. Tentatively, I took my Shepard on a familiarisation tour of the Normandy.

It had been 203 days since I last guided Shepard’s hands and infiltrated the lair of the Shadow Broker, my favourite of the DLC releases, and I was eager to see what Bioware had packed into this in order to have me spamming the Mass Effect 3 pre-order button of my favourite online games retailer. Once more Shepard must do what the rest of the galactic council cannot, and stop the impending destruction of the known universe. Named simply ‘The Arrival’, the premise behind this DLC is that the Reapers are coming.

Probably to avoid getting their heads around how on earth they will import previous Shepard iterations for yet another time and keep it relevant!

Well maybe I won’t be winning any awards for my proposed Mass Effect 3 theme tune based around a remix of Ghostbusters, but that release date still seems an eternity away, doesn’t it? Bioware agrees, and so in order to ensure us fickle gamers don’t go running off and completely forgetting about our favourite game of 2010*, they have released the final DLC for Mass Effect 2.
