Granted, it was powered up and he was in the open, but still, one shot to take down enemy shields and barriers and 90% of health in ONE shot.

The new assault rifle Im finding to be inadequate in combat, unless its for small groups of mercs in one of the side missions and used from far away where normal ARs would be innacurate. In that case its fun, but otherwise I prefer my LMG.

And the pistol is still awesome.

Because it's such a boring way to approach DLC. I was largely not serious in my first post, but honestly there's only so many ways to kill Collectors.

I won't scoff at a new assault rifle though, Mass Effect 2 needs more diversity in that area (though i must wonder if it's actually a worthwhile upgrade from the Geth Rifle. So accurate and powerful!

)

Speaking of ways to kill the Collectors, I have one beef with ME2: you cant replay missions. I would love to replay Tali's or Garrus's recruitment missions after I defeated the Collectors. It would be inconsequential in regards to morality points, but after you beat the game and all the assignments, you are left to start over. Which isnt a bad thing, mind you. But Id still like to replay the missions.

Really i'm surprised, i thought Microsoft was going to keep Bioware on a exclusive deal at least until the trilogy was complete. In any event, this is great news for ps3 owners

Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC trailer

Now if only my 360 worked, ha ha ha. Looks like I'll have to attempt the towel trick again.

That at least sounds like the right voice actor this time.

They will, which is why the original game will probably never make it to the PS3. Future Mass Effect and Dragon Age games will, since they're published by EA.

I have a feeling the Shadow Broker will be some kind of AI, anything else would be underwhelming considering what Sheperd did in the past.

Bioware Fail, the DLC installer for the Shadow Lair DLC is broken, so it doesn't even work.

Not only that, the entire .exe is filled with nothing but zeros (if opened with a hex editor). The corrupted file was taken down and Bioware's promised a fixed version soon. This only effects those of us with the PC version, the 360 version of the DLC seems to work fine.
