BioWare just kinda throws new Mass Effect 2 DLC out there, don’t they? We’ve known about the Lair of the Shadow Broker for a while now, but they never really hinted at when the thing would come out. But now we have a trailer, and at the end of that trailer is a release date. Which is Tuesday. Like, six days from now.

But that trailer, man. I mean, man. How cool is that? And what’s up with the reaper voice at the beginning? Oh wait, I haven’t shown you the trailer yet. Here you go:

Holy s**t, am I right? I’m right. That’s coming Tuesday on both 360 and PC, and it’ll probably be 560 MS points, because that’s what the other story DLC packs have cost. I’m no longer excited about PAX, because I just want to get to Tuesday immediately.
