    At some point, we'll be enjoying a nice hunk of new  Mass Effect 2 content that serves as a downloadable bridge for Mass Effect 3. For now, though, we'll have to settle for smaller, self-contained DLC packs such as Overlord, which now has a release date of June 15,  according to Major Nelson.

    Don't kick yourself if you don't know what Overlord is. I didn't until I peeked at the official Mass Effect 2 website hoping for an update. According to the blurb, which was ironically added just yesterday afternoon, the DLC revolves around Shepard finding a base overrun by Geth. A sole survivor tells the Commander that the base's occupants were attempting to fuse a human with "virtual intelligence," and apparently they succeeded. The bad news is that this hybrid, named "VI Overlord," is going all Terminator on humans, attacking space installations in an attempt to free itself. So, yeah, you're going to have to stop that.  
     

    Oh, hey, this thing looks familiar. 
    Oh, hey, this thing looks familiar. 
    The DLC takes place across five levels and has two achievements. According to the website it'll be priced at 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Marketplace, while the PC version of the content will cost 560 BioWare points.

    Ready for more Mass Effect 2? I still haven't had a chance yet to try out any DLC not named Kasumi's Stolen Memory. I liked that one, but it would have been grand if Kasumi possessed meaningful dialogue outside of her James Bond-style mission. That's a moot point here, considering that this DLC won't have any new characters for you to recruit. This one appears to be a one-off sorta deal.

    BioWare has it's own currency now?  I want to buy games in Shrute bucks.  Maybe when The Office rts game comes out -- one can only hope.

    Me too. I'm not letting all that time and anguish I put into beating down those Praetorians on Insanity go to waste. 
     
    Also, BioWare has they own point pricing system now?!!?!? What has this world come to?!?!?! 
     
    (Doesn't affect me though, I have the 360 version).

    Seeing as I only have maybe an hour in ME2 so far I suppose maybe I will purchase this.  I keep getting distracted by other games though so hell, ME3 might be out by the time I get around to playing 2.

    Not touched ME2 since finishing it, saving up all this tiny DLC for my perfect playthrough just before ME3 is released. Nice to know that stockpile is getting bigger.

    I would have loved to get a GOTY version of ME2. But that means I wouldn't have been able to get the now impossible to find CE of the game. So, DLC it is then!! 
     
    I'll Just buy a 16GB USB stick and put all my DLC on there.

    DLC like this is exactly why I don't bother with S-Ranks for a lot of games :P.  I don't want to have to keep "buying" it back when the marker moves.
     
    (I'm Kasumi's DLC away from my ME2 S-Rank as it stands)

     I am a big fan of the Mass Effect series, but I couldn't give less of a fuck about the Mass Effect DLC. I already experienced the story and I'm not going to drop ten bucks here and another ten bucks there for short uninspired pieces of content six months after I already finished the game. Besides, I thought the reason I bought it new was so I could get free DLC from the Cerberus Network; not pay another $60 over the life of the game for meaningless stuffing.
