New Mass Effect 3 ending available for download on Xbox

Posted in: Today's Chili

I never really understood all the uproar centering on the ending of Mass Effect 3. Dead, is never really dead in a science fiction video game. I’m sure if the developers wanted to bring Shepherd and crew back for a fourth installment, they could figure out some way to make that inconvenient death go away. Still, there were lots of people that were very angry at the ending of the video game.

EA and BioWare promised a while back that a new ending that expanded on the original ending would be offered. If you play Mass Effect 3 on the Xbox 360, that expanded ending is now available for download. The download content is free and is available right now. Be prepared to wait a while, the download is 1.85 GB.

The teaser page for the new ending offers very little detail of what you’re going to see. It simply says the download is an expanded ending for Mass Effect 3. The ending has additional scenes and an extended epilogue to show the impact of Shepherd’s choices on the future of the galaxy.

Licensed Portal 2 Turret replica to arrive later this year, leave bullets at home

If an enthusiast-built Portal 2 turret piques your interest, Gaming Heads’ Valve-licensed miniature replica may very well force your wallet open. Modeled using Portal 2‘s in-game assets and cast in “high quality poly-stone,” these mini-turrets aim to intimidate intruders with a motion activated light-up eye. In addition to the stoically silent basic model, the company’s offering an exclusive edition, which plays sounds and voice samples from the game. Only 1,100 of these hand painted facsimiles will be produced (350 with sound, 750 without), but the company notes that other figures based on the adorable death machines are in the works. Pre-orders have already begun, so collectors will want to act fast — provided they’re ready to pony up $300-325, of course.
