A new DLC is "coming soon" for one of this year's major titles. Of course I am talking about Mass Effect 2. Today BioWare has announced the Overload DLC for XBox 360 and PC. When sent to investigate a Cerberus research base that's mysteriously gone silent, Shepard arrives to find Geth overrunning the base. The sole survivor Chief Scientist Archer, pains a dire picture: an experiment to fuse a human volunteer with a virtual intelligence created a hybrid “VI overlord”.

There's no real way to hide from a collector's edition. Every game is going to have one, and if you disagree - it's only because you have yet to find it.

Bioware is also saying that there will be unique in-game weapons and armor that can only be obtained by purchasing this edition. Read More...
