The style of the actoion took me a while to get used to and some charcters are way less interesting than others (I think that Wrex is much a fascinating character than Ashley, for example, while Kaidan and Shperd himself look like stereotypes), but that might have been ruined by the horrendous dubbing of my version (couldnt get rid of it).


I would like to see more of those type of cinematic/atmospheric games, whatever the type of game is, on PC. It seems that the more epic stuff only comes out on ps3 or xbox (like Uncharted).

It's lovely isn't it? I like that even the architecture is thought out. I had to change Shepard, way too generic otherwise (now a lady!)

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out. Just got Klonoa 2 and Gitaroo Man today.

Isn't it just? It feels like what GTA 3 would have been if it stayed 2D, the DS version is impressive and the PSP one looks even better.

Well I feel silly.

75% off King's Bounty: Gold Edition (King's Bounty + Armored Princess) £8.75

King's Bounty on it's own is £2.49
Armored Princess on it's own is £7.49

If you don't buy King's Bounty for less than a cup of coffee, you are broken.

The fifth (?) episode of the Strong Bad game is free for the day.

Dragon Age Origins on PC and Demon's Souls on PS3 but i'm gearing up for Mass Effect 2.
Has anyone played Demon's Souls? (its probably been brought up but i don't want to sort though the 290+ pages) Its such an awesome call back to the old hardcore action RPGs

I'm desperate for Demon's Souls to come out in the UK, I saw a Co-Op episode on it and it looks like a interesting, punishing game.

Anyone interested in / playing Star Trek Online?
I generally dislike everything about MMO's. The only one I actually played was City of Heroes. Incredibly tedious and boring. I'm a big Star Trek fan though, so I'm wondering how this one turned out.

I steer clear of MMOs too but I think it's going to get harder soon with Star Trek, Old Republic, Torchlight and APB coming (yes, I know APB says it isn't one but it's massive, it's multiplayer and it's online) .

Star Trek's space combat and mission generation sound fantastic but i'm unsure on the ground stuff with the away team.

I received Far Cry 2 yesterday (via Playswitch) and played like 30 minutes of it. That game seems inaccessible, yet awesome. Sort of like Fallout 3. I look forward to sinking 50 hours into it.

I found a site with quite a few keys left if you want to try it out.
