Mass Effect download content leaked and new update patch released

'Pinnacle Station' wil apparently take place on a top-secret space station, offering players 13 battle scenarios and two to three hours extra gameplay. The 237MB file will cost 400 Microsoft Points, but a mooted release date was absent. With BioWare and EA ready to reignite interest in the franchise ahead of the release of Mass Effect 2 on Xbox 360 and PC early next year, we'll be surprised if an offical announcement isn't forthcoming.

BioWare has also launched a new patch for the PC version of the game – 1.02 – which solves a host of technical issues, and can be downloaded direct from the developer. It's been over a year since the game was released on PC, and the update could suggest that 'Pinnacle Station' is also headed for the PC.
