Mass Effect Xbox 360 Graphics: A true gem of Mass Effect. Every time you play you’ll notice little extras which make the game a whole lot more fun. Sound: Some good music, but not enough. Fantastic voice acting adds to overall experience.

Opinion: Alpha Protocol - Mass Effect For The Solo Spy Set

18 Jul 2008 07:20:00 PDT

Written by Mike Fahey
All of these similarities are simply coincidence though, as the folks at Obsidian - who have worked closely with BioWare in the past - assured me that they had started work on Alpha Protocol before Mass Effect was being developed. Whatever the case may be, AP looks like it is shaping up nicel...

I put about 16 hours into the game and really enjoyed it, despite my constant annoyance with navigating RPG menus usi...

Kind of a Review & Some Random Thoughts about ME 2

29 Mar 2008 00:40:37 PDT

Written by Cynthia
My gaming background consists mostly of RPGs. Prior to Mass Effect I hadn't played any FPS games for more than an hour or two. (I think the only other FPS game I'd played was Lost Planet and I only played that for a few hours). I'd played Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 and the expansion packs but I've ne...

Takahashi apologizes for Mass Effect review

02 Jan 2008 07:40:00 PST

Written by Alexander Sliwinski
Mercury News reporter Dead Takahashi has quite publicly apologized for his negative and unfair review of Mass Effect. Takahashi's mea culpa reveals that he rushed into (and through) the early levels of the game without taking the time to learn the rules. BioWare can also be faulted for its...

Dean Takahashi Apologizes For 'Bad Mass Effect Review'

02 Jan 2008 06:16:44 PST

When Dean Takahashi's game review for the Xbox 360's Mass Effect surfaced about a week ago, I was definitely surprised by the bold "Mass Defect" labeling and harsh criticism of the title. Just as the RPG/action game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had been poorly criticized by some early re...

Takahashi Amends Mass Effect Review [Oopsies]

01 Jan 2008 23:30:22 PST

Written by Mark Wilson
It takes a big person to admit a mistake. And it takes an even bigger reviewer to do the same thing. Dean Takahashi wrote a fairly harsh review of Mass Effect...going as far as calling it "Mass Defect" (and making it cry all night and pass out over a half-eaten box of bonbons). And now, he's taking muc...
