Mass Effect 2 DLC Firewalker Review
Let's get this out of the way, the Firewalker DLC is free so the only thing you are spending on it is your time, therefore this review will be more of a summary of the pack's content that you can use to judge if it's a worthwhile way to spend the hour or so of your time it takes to play through. Firewalker is broadly speaking five side-missions all focused around a vehicle called the Hammerhead. Upon returning to your command deck, Kelly will inform you that there is unread mail which usually means she is just confused or lying, but there is actually new mail this time. I was able to start the mission using a save made after finishing the main story which is an improvement over the original Mass Effect's DLC.

Mass Effect 2 DLC Firewalker Released
Just a quick heads up. Firewalker is out right now on the Cerberus network. For some reason it's not showing up in the Xbox Marketplace on the console, or on the web version of the marketplace. It's totally there if you go to the store in game though. The pack is free as announced, and is 353.67 MB.

Mass Effect 2: Cerberus Network - Suit Yourself
The shocking regularity of the Bioware production line will continue tomorrow with the 'Alternative Appearance Pack' hitting the virtual shelves, much to the delight of Mass Effect 2 enthusiasts. Featuring a heavy metal Geordi laForge look for Jack, a Matrix makeover for Thane and a good wash behind the ears for Garrus, the costumes will surprisingly not fall under the umbrella of the Cerberus Network. This means that those with their hearts set on a new set of glad rags will have to fork out 160 Microsoft Points for the Xbox 360 or 160 Bioware Points for the PC, translating to approximately £1.36 ~ $2.00.

Thankless Answers: Statement 19
Dragon Age: Awakenings is a strange one. Containing too many new quests to be offered as downloadable content but lacking the scope to be released as a full sequel, Bioware's latest instalment of role playing action is probably best described as an expansion pack. Providing owners of Dragon Age: Origins with a host of new specialisations, spells and talents, players will again venture into the world of Tedas in order to aid with the revival of the Grey Wardens and their investigation into why the Darkspawn weren't on the first bus home.
Regardless of whether you are a PC devotee, a Xbox 360 aficionado or a PlayStation 3 fanatic, any true Dragon Age stalwarts will be interested in the subject matter of today's Thankless Answer as it's a topic close to everyone's heart. Money money money.

Dear Diary: 16th March 2010
Dear Diary,
Despite getting too comfortable with World Of Warcraft, future prospects look pale in comparison.
Coping with World of Warcraft using only the default interface has proved to be much less of a chore than I would have predicted. Now over a week into my renaissance with the game I've found that actually, you don't need a myriad of add-ons pumping statistics out of every orifice to function efficiently. Of course, there are a select few interface upgrades that would undoubtedly allow me shave seconds off more complex functions, but in my current frame of mind, I'm more than happy to trade perfection for the tedium of setting up the add-ons. As long as I can follow my Hunter shot priorities well enough to pull my weight in groups, I'm happy with my virgin setup.

Dear Diary,
I've forgiven Mass Effect 2 for the events of last week.
It's truly amazing the difference a couple of days can make. After my well documented disappointment with Bioware's crew member selection system for the finale of Mass Effect 2 last week, not to mention the associated rage quitting that took place, I picked the game up again, sat through the cut scenes, made some more educated choices and finally got through the first section of the mission without anyone dying.
