Weekend Confirmed 101 - American Nightmare, Darkness 2, games that make us curse
by Garnett Lee, Feb 24, 2012 11:00am PSTThe second century of Weekend Confirmed begins with a corker. Coin-op TV's Rob "Pennyman" Welkner joins Jeff, Ariel, and Garnett for episode 101. They've been playing games like Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Syndicate, and the Darkeness 2. With countless hours invested in Skylanders, Rob helps shed some light on how this unlikely game became a breakout hit for kids of all ages. Discussions also take a look at why we play games that make us curse at the screen, whether Mass Effect 3's day-one DLC is a must-have for the "complete" experience, and Sony's explanation and apology for not offering the PSP UMD "Passport" transfer service to Vita owners outside Japan. All that and more before Finishing Moves puts the exclamation point on the show.

Did he play Mass Effect 2? Those two bonus characters added some fun mission content and virtually NOTHING as far as actual character or story development.
I get the irritation that they spoiled the return of the Protheans with the revelation that this character is part of that race, but a) anybody with a hint of narrative forethought saw that revelation coming and b) there's a 99.9% chance you're going to SEE other Protheans in the game, so it's not like this is going to be the only option for interacting with this new race.
This content is like the bonus scenes available on the special edition of a Blu-Ray or DVD. I pre-ordered the CE of the game, so I'm getting it with that. All of those who were terrified that the CE DLC wouldn't be available to the public should be HAPPY that this day one DLC is available IF they want the extra side-story.
