There were some rumblings in the gaming news communities about some Mass Effect 2 DLC that the folks at BioWare were planning on releasing this week…turns out they’re true because the company have put out the “Firepower Pack DLC” today for both the PC and the Xbox 360.
In this measly priced pack that will run you about $2 US or 160 MSP/BP, you can expect to see the following BFGs available when you play:
The Phalanx (heavy pistol) – Essentially a hand-cannon with a laser sight.
The Geth Plasma Shotgun (shotgun) – A triple barreled creation that has a new mechanic added to it that allows you to charge your shots like a Mega Buster.
The Mattock (semi-automatic rifle) – Acts more like a shotgun really.
Normally I’m not a fan of ‘throw-away’ DLC, but this seems like a good idea considering that BioWare has stated that they will continue to put out new DLC, and if they’re anything like Overlord, you can use all the help you can get.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
