What's Up In Gaming? 8/3/12

Electronic Arts has announced new story DLC for Mass Effect 3. Named Leviathan, this DLC will focus on the origins of the Reapers along with the mysterious Leviathan, a Reaper who turned against his cuttlefish brethren. For reasons unknown, this Reaper could be an ally or an awesome, side-mission battle that adds nothing to the endgame. Details are scarce as of right now as the rumor has now been confirmed, but the pack will be $10 (800 MS points). Will you be getting the Leviathan DLC? Comment below!

More rumors were confirmed the other day as the next game Viceral Games has been revealed. Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel will use DICE’s Frostbite 2 Engine, and will focus on new characters instead of Salem and Rios. Starting out in Mexico, it is said that drug cartels will play a big part in the game’s plot as you find out what happened to previous main character, Salem and Rios. The rumor that the game will feature four-player co-op has yet to be confirmed, but keep your eyes glued to the screen for more.

Star Wars: The Old Republic will be free to play, but there has been no date as to when this will take hold. The $14.99 subscription still stands, giving subscribers more in the way of credits to buy items and gear, those items and gear will be available for free subscribers, as well. The restrictions for free members have not been announced yet, but stay tuned for that.
