Mass Effect 2 – Oh yes, there was that whole saving the galaxy thing.

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last played Mass Effect 2 and yet it feels much longer. I don’t really have any valid excuses either, though there was the annoyance of losing two hours of gameplay when my housemate picked up the game to “I’m not doing anything, just walking around talking [...]

Mass Effect 2 – “Who observes the Observers?”

Continuing from where I last left the game I decided to finally complete one of the Liara missions.

Mass Effect 2 – “Oh no, here comes disc 2″

As soon as I started carrying on from where I left the game earlier I was prompted to change discs. Even though I know that Mass Effect 2 only uses the second disc for it’s middle section, or at least that’s what I remember reading, it’s still a sign that I’ve made considerable progress and [...]

Mass Effect 2 – Some more thoughts

As I’ve mentioned in my last post I met Garrus and the conversation has been brilliant. Upon returning to the Normandy, Shepard smiled which is one of the first times Shepard has smiled all together and it was quite nice seeing it reflected what I was thinking, too. It is nice to see Garrus and [...]

Mass Effect 2 – First Impressions

I finally started playing Mass Effect 2 Saturday evening and so far I am loving every second of it!
Just over two hours in and I am in love with #masseffect2. I already don’t want it to end!

So far I’ve done very little fighting and a lot of exploration. The following are some of my thoughts [...]

It’s time for Mass Effect 2!

Knights of the Old Republic is the game that got me into gaming. I remember playing it at work [in Spanish!] not understanding a word and not really knowing what was going on. All I remember is walking around in a beautiful environment talking to people and completing missions. Shortly after its release I bought [...]

Links I’ve been meaning to blog about for too long [Part 2]

Just like my previous post I’ve again reached the point where my Firefox is slowing down due to the high number of open tabs with things I’ve been meaning to blog about in ages! Most of these are gaming related this time.
In no particular order:
iPhone Sleep Cycle: my nights with a strange bedfellow [...]

Things I’d like to see improved in Mass Effect 2

It’s only eight days to go until Mass Effect 2 is released and due to it including a character import I’m playing through the first one again to create the ‘perfect’ save. Ideally I want my character to be a female level 60 soldier with paragon alignment and all sidemissions [bar the planetary collection ones, [...]

Dragon Age: Alistair

BioWare’s writing has always been brilliant and Dragon Age is no exception. In addition the voice cast is the most divers and almost best out of all their games. It would have been the best if Raphael Sbarge [Carth Onasi, Kaiden Alenko] had a part, but I digress..
Apart from the well written main quest and [...]

Thanks to @gamedigital!!

Some time ago @gamedigital, otherwise known as the retailer GAME, asked their Twitter followers to vote on a charity they were considering to support promising a £100 giftvoucher drawn randomly to those replying.
Well, as it turned out several weeks later, I was the one winning the voucher and it finally arrived this week plus it’s [...]
