transport
By Crutchboy
For those of you who are absorbed in Bioware's Mass Effect universe can now enjoy about 6
more hours of gameplay by downloading the expansion pack "Bring Down the Sky" from your
Xbox Live account. This is the first installment of future releases by Bioware directed at
expanding the Mass Effect world.
Mass Effect was awarded the title of "Best Role-Playing Game of 2007" by The New York
Times and continues to keep us at BusyGamer.com enthralled with it's immense depth of
playability.
Content description from BioWare
"A race of four-eyed bipeds, the batarians are a disreputable species that chose to isolate
itself from the rest of the galaxy. The Terminus Systems are infested with batarian pirate
gangs and slaving rings, fueling the stereotype of the batarian thug. It should be noted that
these criminals do not represent average citizens, who are forbidden to leave batarian space
by their omnipresent and paranoid government.
In 2171, humans began to colonize the Skyllian Verge, a region the batarians were already
actively settling. The batarians asked the Citadel Council to intervene and declare the Verge
an area of "batarian interest." When the Council refused, the batarians severed diplomatic
and economic relations, becoming an inward-looking rogue state. Money and weapons
funneled from the batarian government to criminal organizations led to many brutal raids on
human colonies in the Verge, culminating in the Skyllian Blitz of 2176.
The rest of the galaxy views the batarians as an ignorable problem. The government is still
hostile to the Systems Alliance, but beneath the notice of the powerful Council races. It is not
known what the average batarian thinks about their enforced isolation, as the Department of
Information Control ensures that only government-approved news enters or leaves batarian
space."
The new expansion package costs about 6 bucks to download and became available
yesterday morning, so call in sick and get to checking it out.
