You know what they say, "there's no rest for the weary." In this case, "rest" means "stopping making downloadable content for Mass Effect 2," and "weary" means BioWare. Tomorrow will see the release of the Equalizer Pack, adding a number of new tools to Shepard's disposal. For a 160 asking price, gamers will find the Capacitor Helmet, Archon Visor, and Inferno Armor in Shepard's armor locker. Beyond making Shepard look like X-Men's Cyclops, it also grants him new upgrades, which are detailed below.

Cerberus doesn't just need a hero - they need a one-man army. That's why the Equalizer Pack adds the Capacitor Helmet, Archon Visor, and Inferno Armor to Shepard's armor locker. The Capacitor Helmet stores power for kinetic barriers, allowing Shepard's shields to recharge faster. The Archon Visor manages omni-tools and biotic amps, reducing the recharge time of Shepard's powers. The powered Inferno Armor speeds up Shepard's movements and increases his tech and biotic power damage, additionally stress analysis software even gives him an edge in negotiations outside of combat. The Equalizer -- when the armor goes on, the gloves come off.

It's hard to wrap my head around how bad BioWare is at knowing what kind of downloadable content fans want. They make such good games, and then think it wise to push out a handful of items for their AAA game for a few dollars. It's not a huge asking price, there's no doubt about that, it's just that they seem to be nickle and diming their community. At least the last DLC pack added in a new character. This, on the other hand, is only mildly better than horse armor. Someone from Bethesda needs to drive up to BioWare's offices and sit them down for some Fallout 3 downloadable content. That's how they should be doing it. This... isn't.

Also, I'm totally buying it.
