Bioware is pumping out the content for Mass Effect 2 - a trend that looks to continue when they release a new character and personal quest to the mix. So what's so special about this potential new squad member?

"One of the main attractions of the download is Kasumi, a stealthy female fighter who you can meet up with in the Citadel. After getting her attention and talking to her about the task she wants you to do, she'll become a member of your party. So after you're all done, she'll take up residence on your ship. You can walk into her room, examine all the cool paintings she has on the wall, and fix yourself a drink at the bar. Like Zaeed, another added character through downloadable content, you can't actually engage in full conversation with her, she just talks at you as you wander around her room.

With a dark hook, black eyes, and a cloaking ability, Kasumi is an intimidating character. In battle, she can also pull off the Mass Effect equivalent of a rogue backstab, as she cloaks, moves behind a target, then reappears and whacks the foe in the back of its head with your omni-tool. She'll also offer the ability to toss out flashbangs as a loyalty bonus, and during the mission you'll get a fancy new gun."

Do I dare dream that Dragon Age will be getting a sequel come this February? I love the franchise and cant wait until I get my hands on Awakening next week, but beyond the game, reports are that within the expansion is a card using the same Blood Dragon type design, and that it's promoting the date of 2-1-2011. Could this be the first official sequel's release date?

Here is hoping it is a sequel and it carries over your characters and choices much like in Mass Effect.

My favorite band of all-time is Green Day and Dookie was the first CD I ever bought. Though I've kind of fallen out of love with the rhythm genre of games, I'm such a big fan of the band that it's goig to be a must buy for me when the game releases on June 8th.

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes was a very fun RPG meets puzzle game for the DS, which had an excellent system and was quite difficult at times. For those who didn't experience the DS game, you'll soon be able to play the game on the Xbox Live Arcade or Playstation Network. It's the same great game, but with HD graphics. Check it out.

I main El Fuerte, but after seeing some of the new characters, I'm definitely going to be giving them all a shot. Out of all the ones announced, however, I think I'm going to have to go with the recently revealed Hakan. The idea of kicking Daigo's ass with Hakan's crazy moves is just too much to pass up.

Portal 2 was just announced and already we're getting info on story details and gameplay based on Game Informer's upcoming cover story.

"Portal 2 will, reportedly, take place hundreds of years after the first Portal, resulting in the Aperture Science labs looking like "a jungle." Despite this significant time shift, Portal 2 will still somehow once again star Chell, the first game's protagonist, as the playable character in the single-player game. GlaDOS returns as well, with the (Portal 1 spoiler warning) personality cores you seemingly destroyed at the end of the first game having taken over different areas of the lab.

Meanwhile, as previously revealed, the co-op campaign will be a stand-alone story...that apparently stars two bi-pedal robots. Gameplay-wise, physics will play a bigger role in the puzzles, with one example being using a portal to suck air from a vent in one area into another. There will also be "reflection cubes" that'll be used for laser-redirection puzzles. Game Informer's cover story also confirms that Portal 2 will indeed be a full-fledged game, with Valve comparatively calling Portal 1 a "test bed."

LucasArts' remake/special edition of the original Monkey Island apparently did so well for the company that the news on the street is that they're going to be announcing sometime soon a similar remake/special edition for Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, which will reportedly be on the Xbox 360 Xbox Live Arcade, PC, and iPhone.

Hot on the heels of the recent Portal patch and all its crazy hidden messages, it turns out that the game now has a new ending! Is that Dog from Half-Life 2? Will the next game be a Portal/Half-Life 2 hybrid since the games share the same universe?

The first game footage of Halo: Reach has been released and it looks mighty fine and exciting. It's only of the multiplayer beta, but it looks great nonetheless. There are some surprising additions in this game based on the video: some cool assassination kills, a dodge roll, flying jetpacks, and what looks to be a massive invasion mode. Definitely check the video out!
