Robert Haefner writes "If you have read some of my previous DLC reviews, then you may be familiar with how much I don't care for companies who sell three to four hour long content for the same price as what could be considered full price for add on content. It makes no sense that you could purchase an add-on that would give you ten to fifteen hours of game play for the same price as the three to four hour DLC. Bioware has gone and hopped on this greedy band wagon with Mass Effect 2: Arrival. At four hours tops, Arrival is the shortest DLC created for one of the greatest games to ever bless our consoles. However, Arrival is different than most unbelievably short add-ons. According to the promotional material that came with Arrival; "Mass Effect 2: Arrival bridges the gap between Mass Effect 2 and, the highly anticipated, Mass Effect 3 which is due out later this year". By promoting this DLC as being so important, supposedly, Bioware has ensured Arrival's sale to all true fans of the series. With a lack of normal team play and a rushed story line, this DLC content can be compared to a "take it or leave it" kind of situation. The only thing is this is more of Mass Effect 2!"
From explosive action sequences to quieter character moments, the Mass Effect series is full of memorable moments. What makes the cut in our definitive top ten from the original trilogy?
There are moments where you can't be a nice guy. You gotta be a jerk, and we've got eleven moments where your true jerk shines.
I like infamous second son evil ending where you powerbomb the native american grandma's house.
What about all the stuff in Fable, like what you can do with Rosie the Bear?

Yeah if you are stuck on a 360 that is the best value for $5 you can get. Just keep in mind Half-Life 2 is 10 years old, and Halo 2, is also 10 years old, and a better game. If at all possible throw that $5 towards an X1 and The Master Chief Collection.
LOL, where can you get a XB1 and the Halo MCC for $10? I'll buy 10 more!
Am I being really dumb and missing something?
Anywho I bought the Orange Box, Last time I played it was on Steam years back, Portal is always a joy!
combo pack for me1-2 on xbox360 and pc with all the add on content before me3 release more like a goty editions.
ps3's version of me2 already has all the bonus content if i am not wrong.
i heard arrival is short in time like an hour so i may give this a try a little later in the year when we are closer to me3 release date
"i heard arrival is short in time like an hour so i may give this a try a little later in the year when we are closer to me3 release date "
yeh its an hour+, fighting 5 waves of enemies was fun. The whole story about the alpha relay was a little dull. Wish there was more info, why the relay was the alpha one or at least where they got the reaper artifact from.
Lair of the shadow broker is probably the best one(paid-dlc) that got the most benefits the player can reap from. Credits, squad-member resets, minerals and even item-upgrade.
i think the B-, is being quite generous, its not bad DLC, but its not real good either, lol....a "C" would be more honest.
