Get your hands on Two New Maps and New Classes on April 10th.
Hot on the heels of Bioware's announcement of the free Extended Cut DLC addressing fans' problems with the controversial ending comes more free DLC, this time in the form of extra multiplayer content.

Free DLC to provide closure to the controversial ending.
Those angered by the endings of Mass Effect 3 may finally get the closure they desire. Bioware has announced that this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC will be released to give fans “clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and insight on how your personal journey concludes.”
The update includes minor usability and UI improvements.
With the Vita now in the hands of gamers worldwide, Sony will be rolling out firmware v1.65 "soon" to address some player usability and UI complaints. Leading the pack is a new power setting that will prevent the system from going to sleep at such a rapid pace. Currently during long loading times or even while the credits roll on a game, the system will go to sleep due to a lack of player input. Players can now force the system to only sleep after ten minutes of inactivity.
THQ shifting to a single-player focus, over 100 employees laid off.
Financial woes at THQ have brought many titles being developed for the publisher under scrutiny. While some titles have been scrapped altogether, other titles, such as the planned MMO Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium, have been “refocused” – changed to fit into their evolving new strategy of serving the hardcore gamer.
The announcement was made over Twitter.
Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward's creative strategist, has resigned from Activision. He made the announcement yesterday over Twitter. "Today, I resign from my position as Creative Strategist of Call of Duty, as a lead of Infinity Ward, and as an employee of Activision," he said.
I never expected to find so much innovation in this deceivingly deep shooter.
This squad-based action title will immediately remind you of Gears of War, but it does a terrific job differentiating itself through its story, memorable characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics.
Another retooling of the Armored Core franchise might have enough new ideas to draw in players who have resisted all of these years.
If you dream of controlling fully customized, walking machines of death around a battlefield, you are probably Japanese. If you actually aren’t Japanese and this concept has some appeal to you, then you are part of the niche of Western gamers that Armored Core V is courting. Even though mech piloting sounds like a lot of fun to almost everyone, most of us in the West just don’t get around to doing it in our spare time. All indications are that we should clear our schedules to try out Armored Core V.
So, it has come to this.
Five years ago BioWare released Mass Effect to the world. The first game in an epic RPG trilogy with the ambitious goal of having your character’s actions and accompanying consequences carry over from game to game; creating an ever more complex and living world quite literally shaped by the player. As a result, Mass Effect 3 is forced to undergo scrutiny for not only how it handles as a standalone game, but as a conclusion to BioWare’s half-decade efforts as well.
EA's big shooter for this year will come out this fall.
