Doesnt get much more to the point than that.

Mass Effect project director Casey Hudson and lead designer Preston Watamaniuk both described the second Mass Effect DLC in some detail.

We wanted to give people something that's much more combat-oriented [and] a little bit lighter story kind of experience. You can go to a kind of a casino-gaming fight club space station.

Sounds cool-- but I finally blew money of Fable's DLC. I don't think I'm ready to drop more on Mass Effect's. At least not for awhile.

[applauds] Woo-hoo! But damn, it took you awhile to get it. Of course, I lost mine, so I can't talk.

Edit: Also, Tali is awesome. You get extra credit for the sig.
