You're playing Mass Effect 3 this week. Don't lie. As much as you love the Game Ranter Banter, you can't resist the call to defeat the Reapers, save Earth, and romance alien species. We're doing that too so we can forgive you, but only if you read this week's Banter.
We'll be covering a wide variety of topics this week. As always, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 are on our writers' minds, but we also have some insights on Operation Raccoon City's 360 exclusive nemesis DLC, Street Fighter X Tekken's gratuitous amount of DLC, and Peter Molyneux's departure from Lionhead.
Let's begin.
An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.
Michael 'BrolyLegs' Begum, beloved Street Fighter icon, has passed at 35, leaving behind a legacy of courage and inspiration.
Damn, this guy was amazing and very courageous. It was unbelieveable how good he was at Street Fighter. Playing the game basically with his mouth. RIP.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
