Mass Effect Pinnacle Station DLC/Avatar Clothing Live

Submitted by on August 25, 2009 – 2:20 pm5 Comments

ashley-armorToday, Bioware and Electronic Arts pulled a sneaky move out of the bag and released new DLC for Mass Effect on both the PC and the 360. 

As had been hinted at via achievements, the Pinnacle Station DLC adds three new achievements, and 2-3 hours of challengeing gameplay.  It appears that Pinnacle Station is an Alliance training facility, and the new DLC will have Commander Shepard going through the training exercises.  You have to have become a SPECTRE before you can access the DLC, and it will set you back 400 Microsoft points.

Also new to the marketplace to tie into the release of the DLC are new avatar clothing items for Mass Effect.  There are uniforms, armor, hats t-shirts and even helmets.  Unfortunately, there are no remote controlled Makos, but then again, it would be uncontrollable, and constantly crashing into something.  If you are interested in the avatar clothing choices, follow this link.

If you have the PC version of Mass Effect, you do not get the DLC free this time.  After a patch is applied, it appears you can install the DLC.  However, you have to purchase it from the EA Store and it will set you back $5.34.  No word on whether the DLC will be available on the Steam Marketplace, and there are words of mixed results downloading this version and installing it on the Steam client.

    I've already got 1050 Mass Effect achievements, so it looks like I'm gonna have to give up 400 Moon Bucks. I am determined not to buy any avatar clothing, though.

    Yeah, I have to admit that I would love to have one of the ME t-shirts, but I would then be a huge hypocrite after the downtalk I gave friends that bought items for their avatars. I will wait for unlockable items via Mass Effect 2.

    I know! Games better start implementing the avatar rewards feature. I want unlockable avatar clothes.
