Mass Effect 2 Demo, DLC, and Trailers

This actually surprised me, but a demo has been released for Mass Effect 2. Weighing in at about 2 GB, Xbox 360 gamers can download it here and PC gamers can go to the main page here.

The demo features the game's beginning escape from the Cerberus station where Shepard is revived and then jumps ahead to the mission aboard Purgatory where players need to recruit Jack. Once you're done the demo, you can actually import your character into the full game if you decide to purchase it, and the retail game has seen a price drop on both platforms as well!

With the launch of the demo, EA and BioWare have released a new trailer summarizing the story of the Mass Effect universe leading into the sequel.



We also saw the release of the latest Mass Effect 2 DLC this week. Entitled "Overlord," Commander Shepard and crew must stop a deadly VI that has taken control of numerous Geth. Available for 560 Microsoft Points or BioWare points, you can also view a promo trailer below.
