There are two kinds of Xbox 360 gamers: those who have already played Mass Effect to death, those that will soon do so and those with a bricked console. Uhm, yes, that’s three kinds apparently. Right. Anyway. What truly matters is that you either know what a great game Bioware’s latest epic is or you should really do bother and find out. Now, in case you are already aware of this simplest of truths, you’ll be happy -nay, elated- to know that the first downloadable expansion for the game has just been announced and will be available on the 10th of this very March for a very reasonable 400 MS points. Oh, and the expansion has been given the properly epic title of Bring Down the Sky.

Bring Down the Sky will include a brand new uncharted world and introduce the notorious, nasty and appropriately ugly alien race of the Batarians. It seems, that a Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. It thus falls to the player to promptly save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly (though banal) descent and earn valuable xp while at it. If you must know, Bring Down the Sky should contain approximately 90 minutes of gameplay and even a new achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points.
