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.

I saw that.

Seriously.. a .exe just full of zeros? Mind boggling.

So it was all for naught...

The correct version is now up. I just finished downloading it, will install it and play it all night long. After all, I wont get another chance until Saturday night because of Rosh Hashanah.

The Overlord DLC was a lot of fun from start to finish, lots of nice combat with a bit of plot thrown in to give it structure. Shadow Broker has a LOT more in regards to development and I have to say it's very enjoyable. As far as DLC goes it might be bioware's best for ME2, but sadly it's lacking in difficulty. I played through with my completed shepard and blew through almost the entire thing on Hardcore. I did enjoy the boss fights however, they were very original (if easy). But I was shocked by how I missed the renegade intimidate option, I have a full bar. Maybe if you take the surgery option to remove your scars it hurts your intimidate ability?

The ending makes sense for a Renegade minded Shepard but I don't know if there's another way to end it. I didn't try forcing paragon, though the option came up quite a few times. I'll say this: Bioware needs to relax on the interrupt speed. It was WAY too fast in this DLC.

Make sure you look around the last room once you've finished the DLC for some surprises.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I too played through the new DLC, and I must say, I am extremely happy with it. Great missions (love the car chase), great dialogue, something Overlord was lacking, and great boss fights- fighting a vanguard was tough!
A must-get for any ME2 player.

Well this should make an interesting intimidate option next game "I took down a God, a 300 ft tall terminator and I beat a 500 pounds of pure muscle space ogre to death with my bare hands."
