[DLC] Mass Effect 2: Kasumi’s Stolen Memory رزمة إضافية جديدة للعبة “ماس إفكت الثانية”

Bioware recently announced their latest DLC for Mass Effect 2 called Kasumi’s Stolen Memory. The new downloadable content provides the latest, and final, character you can recruit for the ’suicide mission’ called Kasumi. She’s a human Thief who can be found on The Citadel.

Kasumi’s loyalty mission involves her and Shepard go on an undercover mission, posed as a couple, for an exclusive party hosted by some art collector. While there, Kasumi has to look for a safe which contains a special box containing some secret data on her previous partner. As movies have taught us, such operations never go down without a hitch, and Shepard gets into a tough spot as usual.

The DLC will be out on April 6th, with no pricing announced at the moment.

Splinter Cell Conviction demo coming soon قريباً: نسخة ديمو من لعبة “سبلنتر سل كونفكشن”

In a recent interview covering a Q&A session for fans, the Creative Director for Splinter Cell: Conviction, Maxime Béland, revealed that a demo for the game will be out.

“Yes, there will be one. I can’t tell you what map or when it’s going to be released yet. My lips are sealed.”

From the quote above, one can guess that it will be a multiplayer demo, or at least have some aspects of it, going by the mention, or lack thereof, of the”map” coming out with the demo. The game is out on April 16th, and given the multiplayer maps are usually out well before a game’s release to stress test online servers, I’d say the demo will be out late this month of early April at the latest.
