Expansion Pack 103

Postby Born2beSlicker on Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:34 pm

Welcome to the Expansion Pack, the Britxbox podcast. Released every Thursday, we banter on Xbox news, what's hot within the BXB community, and the games we've been playing: from the latest releases, demos and XBLA games, to bargain bin oldies. With Jasper "Spiiike" Kashap, Mark "Born2beSlicker" Lawson, and Arnold "DogEyedBoy" Cook. This week we discuss:

Mass Effect 3 ending DLC announced
Halo 4 Spartan Ops
Resident Evil 6
Max Payne 3 multiplayer

As always, feel free to post your comments or questions you have for the crew in the forums, and we'll maybe read your questions on air. Also don't forget to rate us on iTunes and follow us on Twitter or @Born2beSlicker.

Spike didn't like Garrus? Pfft, what a disappointment. I bet he had Jack like there was no tomorrow though.

I never said I didn't like him. I just meant that in ME3 Garrus talks as if he and Shepard had all these amazing adventures together when in fact I left Garrus on the Normandy for the majority of ME1 and ME2 - it kinda breaks the immersion for me.

Garrus is a broski.

It's a decent point, but don't Bioware have stats that show who did what in their playthroughs? Garrus is arguably the most popular NPC in the whole series, so it made sense to pay a lot of attention to him. Personally, Garrus has always been my 'space-bro' so it was totally immersive for me. :)

I agree that Bioware made the right move by catering to the masses there. I can't see any other way around it.
