DAMN YOU XBOX EXCLUSIVES!!

You're currently sitting at a computer are you not?

Not a gming rig.

My computer had trouble playing the Sims. the original one.

It took me about 2 1/2 hours on hardcore with my soldier, so that's long enough for me. The Intel Centre that you can use afterwards is awesome. You get in-depth dossiers on your squadmates and key characters, hilarious surveillance videos and the ability to pick up extra cash by funding missions.

Just finished my Insanity run today so I finally got to around to the DLCs.

Hoping they throw something ridiculous at the end.

- Legion plays video games (including 'Code of Honour: Medal of Duty') and trolls people in an MMO
- Garrus' mother has cancer
- Miranda is sterile due to genetic engineering
- Kasumi writes haiku about Jacob
- Jack trolls forums and writes awful poetry
- Jacob has a crazy workout routine
- Zaeed wants to retire by suicide-bombing Omega
- Thane prefers snapping necks to other forms of killing,
- Grunt likes dinosaurs, sharks and action figures
- Samara has the most depressing life ever
- Mordin was in several plays
- Tali is a chronic masturbator (to Shepard, regardless of gender!)

The spoilers made me lol.

Yeah, but for what it costs I wouldn't be expecting it to last that long. If it's as well put together as Kasumi's DLC was then I'll happily take short and awesome over long and mediocre.

Given that she treated you like you were still dead... feth her.

**Cheese Elemental**

I have to say, the reunion with Liara post-DLC tugged at my heartstrings a bit. I don't think I have the heart to abandon her on my next playthrough.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for emotional storytelling.

**Vandez**

Some damned good DLC. Definitely worth the pennies,

**BrookM**

I just finished Overlord and am about to dive into Shadow Broker, but feth man was the ending of Overlord a soulcrusher.

**VikingScott**

Bad or Good?
IS Overlord worth it? (Or is any of the other ME2 DLC worht it?)

**BrookM**

Personally I found Overlord poorly done until the final act, there it got really fething good, almost as if it was something completely different. Though this might also have to do with me hating the Hammerhead stages with a furious passion.

**avantgarde**

If they just allowed you to save while in the Hammerhead it'd be fine.

Hammerhead fighting is kind of boring though, it's so easy to die attacking anything head on so 99% of the time you sit out of range or around a corner and hold down RT. I did like the platform jumping and fighting the Geth ship.

The Firepower and Aegis pack are worth it on higher difficulties since the Mattock, Phalanx and Kestrel armor crush everything else.

**metallifan**

I was having a second wind with The Sims 2, but Cheese's spoilers just forced me to plan on digging out ME2 and grabbing this DLC. I have an insane urge to see Legion trolling. Some part of me feels like I'll be incomplete until I witness that

**VikingScott**

Yes. Me too. Legion was ace, espeically him doing the robot dance.

**BrookM**

Just finished this piece of DLC, excellent, bit too predictable in the first act and the conclusion, but still great. A good and long running fire fight at the end, a not to annoying car chase and great rewards in form of those reports.

And ha at Miranda and her

The Illusive Man is a hoss.

Predictable? Did you see the

**BrookM**

Well, the stuff after the boss fight was a bit too predictable.

**Cheese Elemental**

Oh, sure,

was blatantly obvious from the start, but it was really the only good solution to begin with.

**Vandez**

So I have spare MSpoints and feel like buying some DLC - I already have the missions but are any of the equipment sets worth it? Thinking of starting a new playthrough.
