VG247 Writes:
BioWare boss Ray Muzyka, speaking in Cologne today, has told VG247 that the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is to include introductory content to provide a “seamless introduction” to the IP’s universe, as well as confirming the inclusion of DLC and access to the Cerburus Network.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

Nice. So, the problem of "what about ME1?" has been addressed. Sure, play ME1 if you can because it's a great game, but for PS3 gamers who did not play the first game, this is a great solution.
And Cerberus Network support?
Man, this plus Dead Space 2 to start off 2011. Daaaang!
hours and hours of bonus content............ deliciousness
I was hoping they'd do an introduction..
Cool, sounds like the lack of ME1 won't be much of a problem at all, story-wise.
"bu bu butt teh M4sszzZZ EffexxTtt 1!!" - No. Just. No.
This sounds good. Bonus content, the DLC, plus special introductory for the PS3 SKU. Sounds like an awsome package to me. I'll be picking this up in January 2011. Will be a good way to start the year!
