Eh, what are you basing that on? Not that I personally understand why anyone other than the most dusty sci-fi bookworm with a thing for mannequins would be excited about it, but the world is a crazy place and there does seem to be plenty of excitement around the title.
I'll read the Mass Effect review in a second. It's a few pages.
I do feel obliged to say, for my own sanity, that I take great enjoyment out of the people who need EGM to vindicate their $600 purchase. If you were at all satisfied with it, you wouldn't need someone else to tell you that you didn't waste your money. But, apparently, you do. My opinion of PS3 CONFIRMED! by people who already own it! Success!

If that's what you think this is about, then you're kind of a dumb person.
They don't go into specifics about which classes in Mass Effect are unbalanced. Most of the written review focus on the storytelling and dialogue branches. Two of the people played as Vanguard, though, and it doesn't seem like they cared as much about who they had in their party. Jennifer played as a Sentinel, and it seems like she put more thought into the characters she included in her party. BUT, that could just be my perception based on HOW they played the game, that is, to get the most out of strategically optimizing your party. They say that the dialogue and story are well-written, and the last few hours are EPIC and gorgeous and stunning and shit, but that the dialogue branching system isn't as revoluationary as Bioware originally promised/indicated/whatever they said about it. The third reviewer, Bryan, who gave it a 9.0, complained that it's hard to get into, because it doesn't tell you HOW to do anything, but once you figure it out, it's incredibly satisfying.

Which system are you getting it for? I'll be getting this one for sure, assuming I don't get double vision after being carved up.

If that includes vs with online players, it could be badass. I love sports trivia.Oni Link 666 said:
Hopefully they would expand that into other categories of trivia as well.
The thing is, sleazy people with fast fingers and Google could ruin the whole thing.

Boring rumors.
Can someone who's read the reviews for uncharted tell me a couple things.
1) What's the spilt like between combat (shooting specificallly) and running around platforming/puzzle solving/etc?
2) Does the combat feel fps-ish or does the game handle a lot of the aiming issues?
3) What's the structure of the game like? Just solve the puzzles to get around or are there etxras and secrets? Do you collect stuff, like J&D?
4) Is it fun?

I was hoping for higher scores to justify my purchase. Now I'm right back to "potential purchase."
Enjoyed the demo, but we all know how insigificant that can be after Assassin's Cree7.0.

Just reading through what Jennifer says, you can pause the action to que up attacks and give commands to your team and work together. She gives the example of having someone lift an enemy, then she overloads their weapon, then someone else can shoot them. Doesn't sound like GOW exactly.

Not impressed with the graphics or sound? They made it sound like no matter what Gears was going to get the scores it did for it's graphics and sound, doesn't apply here though. Ooh, the "not much original here" comment that could be tagged to 95% of games!
Did we get The Good - The Bad for Mass Effect and CoD4 yet? Or did I miss it in here amongst the fake impressions that were thrown around?
