Review: Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage
Original at Eurogamer

Don’t take it the wrong way I love Mass Effect, it just wasn’t the 60 hour-long, incredibly detailed and customisable experience that I want from an RPG. Mass Effect was a “My first RPG’ experi...
Overdue Review: Mass Effect
Original at tiamatini.com
• Sun, Nov 1
By Tiamatini So, to summarise the story, without giving too much away, you are an Alliance agent in the future (2183 if I remember correctly) and ultimately you have to save the known universe. The developing storyline is one of the best things about the game, so I don’t want to say too much, but essentia...
Mass Effect: "Game"

By karmuno If Mass Effect does nothing else (and it does plenty), it shows the importance of solid gameplay.
