Bioware's November 27-bound Mass Effect 3 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/action/12770/mass-effect-3/) DLC revisits one of the series' most dangerously exotic locations - the lawless space city of Omega. Embedded deep in the metallic husk of a hollowed-out asteroid - spires of industrial buildings reaching out from its centre - Omega's been described as "the dark, twisted counterpart to the Citadel."

Her defining personality traits - whip-smart and jealously dominant - didn't fair too well when her role as top dog was threatened in one of Mass Effect 2 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/pc/action/11284/mass-effect-2/)'s most memorable subplots, and now she's got a new job opportunity for the commander. The mission? Reclaim her throne (well, her favourite haunt on the top floor of nightclub Afterlife). This time, however, it's a galactic-wide paramilitary network Cerberus who need booting out of the city, and they won't be silenced as easily as a few rogue Krogan.
