Mass Effect 3: Omega – Biggest Expansion In Franchise History


Posted on October 13, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Boasting to be the franchises’ biggest DLC yet, did Bioware. Stating that this DLC is “twice the size of any previous released DLC.” Instead of playing Shepard in Omega, you get to take control of Aria as she hunts down operatives of Cerberus.

From the Bioware Blog:

Soldiers of the Milky Way,

Disturbing reports from the Citadel suggest that something big is about to go down. If our Intel is accurate, Aria is on the move. This was anticipated, as we did not expect her to sit idly by while Cerberus ran roughshod over Omega. With her biotic capabilities and well-documented mean streak, what happens next won’t be pretty.

Our informants believe that Aria intends to seek out Commander Shepard for assistance. We are aware of the Commander’s ties to Aria, but are unclear about how deep they run. What we do know is that Aria will be relentless in her fight to take back Omega, and with the Commander at her side, she may very well be unstoppable.

We will be observing this situation closely as it develops. Continue to monitor this channel for further communication.

A timed exclusive for the Xbox 360, you can get Mass Effect 3: Omega on November 27th, for 1200 MSP. Hopefully it won’t become this kind of “timed exclusive.”

ToeJam & Earl Coming To Xbox Live Arcade Next Month


Posted on October 13, 2012 by Joshua Rust

As part of SEGA’s new strategy of releasing older classic games, it looks like the next one on the list to get the “Vintage Collection” is ToeJam & Earl.  The other releases under the SEGA Vintage Collection include: Alex Kidd & Co., Monster Island, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage.

Within the Vintage Collection, there will be two games: ToeJam & Earl as well as ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. For the first time both of these titles will feature co-op as well! I’m not sure how many of you have ever heard of ToeJam & Earl, but they came out on SEGA Genesis/Megadrive when I was growing up as a kid. In fact, the Genesis is still one of my most favorite consoles still.

  

SEGA Vintage Collection: ToeJam & Earl is expected to launch for 800 MSP November 7th on XBLA.
