Sounds like Arrival is Shepard on a solo mission. I watched a gameplay video and it looks good.
I also decided to finally check out all of the Shadow Broker's files. If it's canon, this may be a pretty big part of ME3's story. I enjoyed reading that Jack joined an online poker club and was booted out hours later.

Launch trailer and article about it (with mild spoilers) are up on IGN. I'm too lazy to go find them. And yeah, it's a solo mission. Can't wait to let my soldier get out there and kick some more ass.

Arrival is probably the least interesting DLC to date. The story is the only thing it has going for it and even that is kind of blah. $7 isn't bad, but it would have been really disappointed at $10.

I enjoyed some parts of the DLC, and am considering going back to work on some of the achievements. I already figured out the twist to the mission about half way through. Though it was still fun to see the big ass Reaper thingy and have Shepard be all like, "Oh shit, I've been here before." And the last section of the mission reminded me so much of using biotic powers at the Citadel at the end of the first one. Those poor bastards didn't stand a chance.
It was enjoyable, but very short. The cinematic at the very end was powerful and badass, though. Boom, baby!

Started up a new Soldier (I like being able to shoot just about anything) and went through Arrival. Real linear, but I guess it does it's job of being a bridge between 2 and 3. Not great, but still it's a couple of hours of shoot em up, so it works for me.

No multiplayer. Thank God.

I don't know, the Isaac Newton "Deadliest Son of a Bitch In Space" shirt is pretty awesome.

ME3 delayed until early 2012
Not the worst news in the world as it won't get lost in the glut of holiday releases.

Furthermore, should we make a new thread for Mass Effect 3 since their website has launched?

I just started playing this a couple days ago and I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the overhauled combat system, at least on PS3. I played through ME1 quickly on the 360 and really enjoyed combat on there (I'm not a huge FPS guy) and so it's been a bit of a grind without the combat scanner, better shields, etc. I'm glad the Mako exploring is gone, and it's interesting meeting all these new characters, though I was sort of attached to a lot of the old crew.

Took a hiatus for a couple months and finally got around to finishing it over my little Christmas break this past week. I figured everyone here's played it already so I'll not bother with spoiler tags.
I made it out with everyone alive and breezed through the final mission. That final battle was a hell of a lot easier than I was expecting. I'm a total completionist because I don't like playing through the game over and over (although I'll likely replay the final battle tonight because I made the decision to hand over the station to the Illusive Man, which I regretted after I saw everyone's reaction- think I want to go back and blow it up) because I have a lot of other games I want to play through. Overall, I think I liked the first Mass Effect a bit more, I liked how combat worked in that one but I agree that taking out the mako exploration aspects as well as having the ginormous inventory of weapons and shit and replacing them with mineral scanning and simplified weapons load-outs made it a lot easier. I spent way too much in the first game equipping people with the best stuff and selling off like 100 outdated weapons and upgrades. ME2 was a huge upgrade in that regard, and the classes are way different. Still, I sort of liked my crew and the Normandy and all that a lot more in the first one than I did in this one.
Also ended up sexing up Miranda, but I'm hoping I can get back with Ashley in ME3. Hooking up with Tali just seems weird- you don't know what's under that mask, man! And Yeoman Kelly was way too easy.
