Review: Mass Effect 2

February 28, 2010

Well I promised my initial thoughts on this quite a while ago, but given the amount of time I was dedicating to playing it, I thought I may as well wait until I finished it, and so I did, then started playing other things, and before I know it, nearly a month has passed – apologies!  However, thankfully, in around 30 hours spread across 6 days I have once again saved the galaxy from certain annihilation.  Go me!

Commander Shepard returns and in the beginning all is well – you and your crew are aboard the Normandy, happily floating around in space and then BAM! A big ass ship starts tearing through yours!  You have to save Joker (well, who wouldn’t?!) and then, in a cut scene, you are hurled off into space and certain death.  I’ll be honest, this left me a little baffled, I thought I’d messed up the mission already and hadn’t saved Joker quickly enough or something, but no, it was all part of the plan…  Your body is recovered, your physical being restored, and you are able to head out and save the galaxy once more.  There’s just one catch – you’ve got the evil self-serving Cerberus to thank for it…

Read on to see how, sometimes, working for the bad guy’s the right thing to do…

The best of the best

November 24, 2009

So I arrived home from work today and checked my post, and sure enough sitting there, in my mailbox, was the latest issue of Game Informer – the 200th issue no less.  In honour of their 200th issue, the team over at Game Informer decided to publish their list of the top 200 games of all time, so I thought I’d share some of the results with you.

Don’t panic, I’m not going to list all 200 with their reasoning, you’ll need to buy the magazine if you want that, but I thought I’d pull out a couple of highlights…

So, let’s begin at the beginning…  The top game of all time, the ultimate in gaming, the best there ever was?  Read on to find out…

**NEWS** A little taster of greatness to come **NEWS**

November 8, 2009

I found this while perusing 1up.com earlier, and reading the story of one lucky guy who played a brief demo (hey, a demo’s a demo!) – I’d be seething with jealousy if I wasn’t so damn excited by the article, which you can read in full here (along with 2 other videos!)

Overdue Review: Mass Effect

November 1, 2009

mass-effect-643

Wow.I may struggle to be coherent in this review, since I still feel slightly blown away since finishing the game yesterday, but if all else fails, and you give up reading my ramblings, remember one thing – this may, quite possibly, be the best game I’ve ever played.

I bought this game ages ago, and kept meaning to get to it, but never quite got there.  Until Tuesday that is…  I thought I’d give it a go in preparation for Mass Effect 2′s upcoming release, and around 55hours of gameplay later, I am well and truly sold on the Mass Effect franchise.  In a nutshell, it’s ace.
