As some of you may already be aware, Mass Effect 3 is getting a new multiplayer DLC pack, entitled Earth that is launching on the Xbox 360 on July 17th and a day later on PSN. Although news of this DLC was a fairly poorly kept secret EA, to their credit, have managed to keep many of the more intricate details about the DLC pack under wraps.
However, with just days to go until it’s release, more and more details are coming to light as to what is actually included so is a wrap up of all the shiny new stuff you will be able to play with for the almighty price of….. nothing. In case you did not know this pack is completely free, as the other muliplayer packs have been, on both XBL and PSN.
- 3 New Maps: Unsurprisingly, given the name of the DLC is hardly a brain racking conundrum, the 3 new maps are set on Earth and see you holding off waves of enemies in Rio De Janeiro, Vancouver and, of course, London.
- 6 New Playable Character Classes: Make your stand with one of 6 new character classes, some of the Alliance militaries fiercest operators; N7 Demolisher Engineer, N7 Destroyer Soldier, N7 Fury Adept, N7 Sentinel Paladin, N7 Shadow Infiltrator and the N7 Slayer Vanguard.
- New Upgrades: Make your weapons more deadly and personalised than ever before with 12 new weapon modifications and rally your character with a choice of 11 new, unique upgrades.
- New Difficulty: For a while, people speculated as to what the leaked ‘new mode’ with this DLC Pack would be and now we have an answer. Making a mockery of the bronze, silver and even gold challenges? Then get ready to battle the toughest of the tough on the all new Platinum difficulty level.
- New In-Mission Objective: Can you keep an AI target safe from enemy forces and escort him to extraction? Well you are going to have to with this new objective randonly occuring during waves 3, 6 and 10 during muliplayer games.
There you have it folks, whose going to be sinking their teeth into Mass Effect 3′s multiplayer next week then? I was personally considering selling it, but this new pack might just be the catalyst to get me hooked on it again.
Looks like its time to take back Earth one more time….

Gaming Fail – Final Fantasy XIII
Across every genre of entertainment there are specific titles or releases that become synonymous with failure, that in the eyes of fans and critics alike embody the worst that the genre has to offer.

Online Multiplayer Isn’t Gaming An

Amusement Arcades – How To Return
We all have our own happy memories of time spent in an arcade. When once so prevalent, they’re now confined to seaside towns, motorway service stations and the garages and basements of the congenitally nerdy. They’re a shadow of their former selves; slowly dying away under an ever increasing mound of ‘£2.00 a go’ signs [...]
