Game Informer Review: Mass Effect
192
From Game Informer Review "Mass Effect is one of videogames greatest treasures. It's an adventure that is so captivating that you'll be counting the days for the sequel. It takes interactive storytelling to new heights, and brings the player closer to content than ever before. It's easily one of the year's best titles, and one of the most impressive games to date."

HELL yeah!! Great review and I guess the little bit about the combat is kind of a bummer that it seems to be easy than super hard, but eh oh well they say it's fun which is what matters. What an amazing few months though from Bioshock, Halo 3 and now Mass Effect, plus PGR4 is scoring well, COD4 is going to be unbelievable, Rock band, GH3, AC...this christmas for the 360 is going to be an insane one. Oh yeah lemme know if you guys want any other reviews scanned from Game informer from this month for any system... \
edit:: who the HELL keeps disagreeing with me!? What in gods name in my comment has anything you could possibly disagree with!?
edit edit:: I posted a story with all of the previews and Reviews and it was approved and than failed, maybe it's against rules or illegal? lol I dunna...anyways anyone looking for the reviews or previews that I posted below, here is the link to my story, it might not be posted but it sure as hell isn't deleted.

"who the HELL keeps disagreeing with me!? What in gods name in my comment has anything you could possibly disagree with!?"
I believe it's because you said... "this christmas FOR THE 360 is going to be an insane one.". Sony Boys didn't like that. I found out first hand, if you show ANY favor to one system, even if you love both systems, you get a disagree. :P Btw: I'm not one of the dudes who disagreed with you.
@Evil_Angel
"this is my holiday line up... i will be very very poor"
Amen to that bro. Many benefits to owning both systems, but one major flaw, it can empty your wallet fast.
@sak500 1.8: now be fair bro. Boxers do the same thing. However, I'm not positive, but I believe this site has more PS fans than 360 fans. So Boxers tend to get more disagrees than Players. But both of my bros from the 360 and PS3 camps do the exact same things to each other. BTW, I'm not into the whole name calling terms ya'll call each other. But I thought Boxers were lemmings and Players were Droids. Ah well, I don't wanna get in the middle of that. :P

1.10 - This Review ===> Definite Hyperbole
I'm sorry but this review sounds like hype to the extreme. Who the hell wants to play a damn geek soap opera set in space anyways? And I heard in this game you fall in love with another guy...give me a f-ing break.
The only people who are going to buy this are uber-Xbox 360 geeks (the ones who get hard-ons just thinking about achievements). The Xbox 360 doing its thing, only catering to hardcore gamers. When will MS get a clue? You can't expand your userbase that way.
Bioshock and Mass Effect....who outside of the Xbox 360 geek (and occasional PC geek) cares about these games? I doubt the mass market does. And if Halo 3 didn't have such a big marketing push, it would fall in the same category.

4.1 - My best friend, he bought the new Halo3 edition console and it's ser.# matched that of the 65 nm chip.
It has the chip and runs super cool, only slightly warm after 6 hrs. of game play yesterday, also it's has the newer HD drive and is super quiet, best I've heard yet in any console or computer.
I was very impressed.
EDIT: Crimson Wolf, Sorry your wrong, your hearing how ps3 version looked better 3 months ago as that version was 3 weeks ahead in design of the Xbox 360 version. Nope, the ps3 version wont look as good when release comes. Go with the Xbox 360 version as textures and lighting and obviously online game play will rule all.

If you want COD4 I suggest picking PC or PS3 one.
Why? Free online and better texturing and lighting.

You dont have to wait for a die-size change. The Xbox 360 heat issues have already been fixed, and we already were told. And we've been seeing the improved hardware for months now.
Motherboard Version 1.1. This Motherboard has fewer components, smaller components, new layout, and a new CPU/GPU mounting methodology.
Look at this:
http://www.mainstageclothin...
"Having identified a number of factors which can cause general hardware failures indicated by three red flashing lights on the console, Microsoft has made improvements to the console and is enhancing its Xbox 360 warranty policy for existing and new customers."
from
http://www.microsoft.com/Pr...
Microsoft later said at the Tokyo Game Show 07:
"We have made all the improvements in our manufacturing process, All the consoles on the market have those improvements.
http://www.gamepro.com/news...
Go buy one today without worry -- you'll never regret it.

wow..."Bioware's epic also has the richly detailed environments of Gears of War, the deep exploration of Oblivion, and a fictional universe almost as compelling as Star Wars." -WOW "One of the most memorable and unique soundtracks in gaming. It's inspired by 80's sci-fi, yet sounds like nothing you've heard before." Game Informer also says it sets a new benchmark in video game storytelling...day 1 purchase...

It's true, but Mass Effect remains an Xbox 360 exclusive as it's being published by Microsoft. ME2 and ME3 might become multiplatform games, but that issue remains to be resolved.
EDIT: @TheExecutive
It does. ME2 and ME3 might go multiplatform, but they don't necessarily have to. It depends on the arrangement Microsoft makes with BioWare and EA.

Whatever... For a game like Mass Effect, the second and third games might tie in to the same story line. Do you think the sequels would come to PS3 where people haven't played the beginning of the story? Doesn't make sense to me.

If you ask me Mass Effect is an exclusive for the 360. As for ME2 and ME3 well that will be on the 720 and PS4 since it takes about what 2 years to do a decent game of this size and late 2010 sounds right for the next xbox. Even if it is who cares enjoy the games now and worry about the future when it comes. Looking forward too far ahead is something only sony bots do (well xbots do it too, I wont discriminate).

Am i the only person reading between the lines of that review? Combat sounds dodgy, problematic AI, we knew the story would be good but i'm now fearing that the more serious gaming press are going to inform us of a game with gameplay not quite as perfect as previews have promised.
Hope i'm wrong because i've been pinning my hopes on playing an amazing rpg over xmas!

Well, major game review sites will likely look at this game from a positive viewpoint. I find that to be the case with a lot of xbox games. As such, others will probably say something like 'combat is broken, but cool story. 10/10.'

I might have to get this game. I know everyone is raving about it, and it deserves it, but for some reason I don't want to like this game. Just like I didn't want to like Kingdom Hearts for mixing disney and final fantasy, but with all these good things being said I'll have to give it a try. I'll probable end up loving it.
