Mass Effect 2 PS3 Hands-On: BioWare, Beautiful & Brilliant

Posted on December 19, 2010 by geelw

PS3 owners may have missed out on the original Mass Effect, but the stellar sequel plus four DLC chapters and a little something extra (plus a LOT of something extra under the hood) is headed your way in a great standard edition pack that's bound to fly off store shelves faster than the new Normandy hits light speed. I had the opportunity to play a demo version of Mass Effect 2 and was immediately floored by the visual upgrade (thanks to what was recently revealed as the Mass Effect 3 engine), the tweaked puzzles and a few other niceties BioWare has seen fit to add. I'd have to safely say this is going to be the definitive console version of the game and even if you've played the Xbox 360 version, you might want to snap up a copy of this one, provided you also have a PS3 in the house.

Mass Effect 2 Headed to PS3, Bioware Says…

Posted on August 18, 2010 by geelw

Well, that’s just supremely grand and excellently peachy, I say (glaring at his non-functioning RROD 360). As the first game isn’t (boo, hiss!), I’m hoping PS3 owners get some sort of brief recap or even a bit of new content, but we shall see, no? That is all. You may now resume your present activities.

EA & BioWare Reveal Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station Content Pack

Posted on August 27, 2009 by geelw

EA and BioWare continue to generate Mass Interest in the upcoming Mass Effect 2 by adding more download content to the original game (which in turn, gives folks like me yet another fine reason to hop back into the boots of Commander Shepard for a few more hours). Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station, the latest add-on for the original game is now available as a downloadable pack for the Xbox 360 for 400 Microsoft points via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The PC version of the content pack will set you back $5 and can be purchased through EA’s online store. By the way, the 1.02 patch for Mass Effect is required for the installation of Pinnacle Station and is available over at BioWare’s web site. First things first and all that…

So what’s in the pack? Glad you asked – let’s go to the press release…

Mass Effect 2 Cover Art, New Screens, Story Info Revealed

Posted on August 19, 2009 by geelw

Hmph. Maybe I shoulda gone to Cologne after all. Anyway, here’s the cover art to Mass Effect 2 (fantastic), along with five new screenshots (even more fantastic) and plot points (presented in press release format because I love that yellow type I’m now using for PR stuff). The first thing that sprung to mind when seeing the newly revealed cover art was of any number of dynamic movie posters and comic covers I’ve seen over the years. It’s definitely striking, and gets the sense of wonder flowing, that’s for damn sure. “Attention alien scum – Commander Shepard and company are coming to kick your asses back to where you came from!”
