Hot Heart

Launch trailer

But how will he ride Red Ha...OK, not gonna go there.

I think the production of Road to Perdition really lifted the overall film above its 'weaker' points. Well, I mean more personally-speaking, in that the story was a tad predictable. The look and sound were brilliant.

Not sure how accurate this is (seems OK from a brief look), but thought it might make for an interesting read. http://www.1up.com/features/philosophers-mass-effect-2

Not read the spoilers but I think I can guess the jist of it.

I have to wait until the FRIDAY when the game is released. Although, fingers crossed it arrives a little earlier and Origin doesn't prevent you installing/playing it (fucking Steamworks).

Nice to see how immature some people can be.

I believe the Brute is a mix of Krogan and Turian. The Tyrant reminds me of an Elcor in some respects... It would seem silly, but I figured it'd be like 'banking' your character, then you get a chance to respec them and try a different playstyle possibly.

Matt Embree of Rx Bandits fame collaborating with some friends who apparently play jazz. Really digging it.

OMG, that Ravager looks...gross. Even for a Reaper creation. Nice spelling of 'Harvester' they got going there.

Years and years of testing and games can still have that problem anyway. If you can't eradicate it completely, at least give people the option to skip it.

http://www.g4tv.com/videos/57547/mass-effect-3-multiplayer-preview/ Hmm, interesting, and that's not how I envisioned it working. Not sure what 'prestiging' is, as I've never played CoD multiplayer. Does it mean resetting your unlocks and such (or powers in this case) and starting over? Or just a fancy word for the process of saying 'this character is all ready as a war asset'?

If you looked at the control menu in the demo, you might've seen this. Or maybe you know already. It's not a story spoiler but a video from IGN of a gameplay thing linked to an achievement, so I'll spoiler it just in case.

"There's a war going on. I've had enough of your snide insinutations." *punch*

Not a great album all told, but something about this song wormed its way inside my head. Probably just the repetitive, pounding sound of it.

Well, it seems that war assets links into everything in the game. Do a mission, help some guys, they count as a war asset.

Yeah, I hear you. I was never into Blink-182 because of "ugh, that voice" (plus, I never really found them that funny). Having said that, I thought Blink's bassist was OK and he did a song with them that I liked. A song about being a stalker isn't exactly ground-breaking comedy material, but I love the sincere sound to it. Plus, the drums on MxPx have a real tight, punchy sound. It's not an uncommon thing but it goes really well here.

I used to love MxPx when I was a teenager. Learnt bass to a lot of their songs. Used to be able to play the Middlename 'solo' with my hand in the 'finger-tapping position'. I still give them a listen every now and then, and I seem to recall that their last album (Secret Weapon?) was pretty good. For the type of music anyway.

I'd say as much. If they've lost the confidence of Nintendo and EA, that's a big share of their games gone.

Uncharted 1 and 2, had a cool 'unlockable store' that included such cheats. Not really saying I'd choose it over having skipping as an option too, but it was a great little feature. It's a goddamn shame that 3 appeared to have scrapped that.

Oh, I don't even remember it being like that. It sounds like BioWare might have fixed that oversight though. And, thanks, Dean pointed it out in the Games You've Bought thread (and the rest of the internet seems to have exploded with it) so I'm all sorted now. Some long dissertation thing on Mass Effect, if you like reading that sort of thing. http://nothing-is-irreversible.com/category/gaming/mass-effect/page/5/

Wasn't that how it worked in ME1? You purchase/unlock a licence and then you can buy anything they have for sale, unlocking it immediately. This time it's an interface, not a person, is all.

http://uk.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-3/Normandy Sounds like some interesting new things. And they've actually got that Requisitions Officer thing back, allowing to shop from there without traipsing around the galaxy every time...which is nice.
