DLC Fakeout

When I posted with news of DLC being released with Mass Effect 3, there was proof to back it up. I even called to make sure I wasn't just seeing things, but it seems a mistake was made. The pre-order option was up for a few days regarding the From Dust pack for Mass Effect 3, but it apparently was not meant to be released with the game.

Gamestop has since removed the ability to pre-order such an item with no statement or apology to speak of. Even Bioware and EA haven't officially released anything about the incident, but my curiosity is peaked. When is this DLC pack supposed to drop? And how did it get leaked in the first place? Mass Effect 3 is the most leaked game I've ever followed, and I can't imagine how it keeps happening.

Integrating Kinect compatibility and multiplayer was something we'd assumed since before E3 2011. But the entire demo was released way before it was ready in early January. Now, this DLC pack has been inexplicably revealed... are they intentional leaks? If not, a lot of people have been fired in the last few months. Either way, I'm hoping that the entire game brings me even more surprises and thrills than the hours of footage I've seen already. There are a lot of issues (plot-wise) that I'd like to be addressed in Mass Effect 3, and I'm looking to put every other game on the shelf when it comes out. Mass Effect 3 officially releases on March 6. Three weeks! But I'm not excited or anything.

2012 Wishlist: Max Payne 3

I’d like to start by saying that I’ve never played a Max Payne game before, so I can’t understand the loyalty that some fans have to the game. My dad used to play the first game, but I didn’t get why he enjoyed it either. Now that I’m older and have more experience under my belt, I can honestly say that I’m looking forward to this title.

If my readers haven’t noticed, I’m big into action, but I can’t overlook a lackluster story. To me, what’s going on in the game is just as important as the action. Max Payne 3 seems to have a great blend of action, and an interesting story that I, personally haven’t seen before in a video game. Rockstar was right to push the game back again because they are always at the top of their game. Get it? I’ll be there to pick it up, and I hope it’s everything fans say it will be. 

BREAKING NEWS: MASS EFFECT 3 DLC PRE-ORDERS BEGIN

It seems as though Mass Effect 3 will be getting some DLC on launch day. According to my source at Gamestop, and the lovely reporting over at Joystiq.com, the DLC pack labeled ‘From Dust’, is available for preorder and will be released in tandem with the game on March 6. The video game retailer seems to have a green-light on pre-sales for the content, and people are eating it up!

There aren’t many details on the content other than is runs about $10, but I’m sure EA/Bioware will give more details in time.
