Dragon Age 2 and this DLC made me fear for the quality of Mass Effect 3. Very underwhelming for what should be a major point in the story.

Asset density suggests not a lot of work went into this DLC; the main team (according to Christina Norman's Twitter) is working a lmost exclusively on ME3. Arrival could have been recorded and built in an extremely short amount of time, save for the ending CGI.

It's disappointing in that I expected something as good as Lair of the Shadow Broker, but I'm not taking it as a negative indicator of ME3's likely quality.

New DLC for Mass Effect 2.  I'm downloading it now for 560 Microsoft Points (I don't know the conversion so I assume it's $300 in real money).  It should be available on PS3 and 360 with new Achievements/Trophies.  GET IT!!


Hey, I'll buy you the DLC if you give me the money to buy it :P


Nice try! I already got it for $100.  I'm no sucker.

Oh well I tried. Oh look, the volcano insurance guy is here!

hmmm so there's no pretty hammerhead parts like in overlord? 
I only got Shadow Broker (I love liara)
And Overlord (Impulse buy with Shadow Broker, but It's probably my favorite mission in Mass Effect so glad I did)

I dunno if I'll get this. I plan to play ME2 again before ME3.

Played through it and enjoyed it, not as good as the last two DLCs but ME2 is probably my favourite game of all time so it was nice to get some more of it. Bring on ME3!

I hope you are right man.
