| | Would you pay for a new Mass Effect 3 ending? | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 19th, 2012 | To say that Mass Effect 3’s endings have caused an uproar is an exercise in understatement. The internet is filled with the vitriolic rage of thousands of gamers who believe that Bioware fudged up the ending - making 3 games’ worth of player decisions pointless. There’ve been petitions, charity events and even an FTC complaint asking for said endings to be changed.
Bioware has previously defended the endings, saying they were crafted to get people talking. To that end; mission accomplished - pity that what most people are saying isn’t very nice. Bioware seems to be listening - and has now said it’s actively considering ... [»] |

| Fan-made Wing Commander sequel gets the green light from EA | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 19th, 2012 | If there is one genre that I miss in gaming today, it has to be a dedicated space-fighter flight sim. I’m talking games such as Freelancer, Starlancer, Descent and of course, Wing Commander. Hell, I still happen to own a rather bulky PC version box from yesteryear, complete with multiple CD-Roms, manuals and extras of Wing Commander Prophecy. I ... [»] |

| Mass Effect 3 review – I’m Commander Shepard and…oh just buy this game already! | 
Garth Holden - March 16th, 2012 | If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have played Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and most of the DLC content already. If not, stop reading now and go buy ME1. Due to the nature of the trilogy, some spoilers from ME2 will sneak into this review. You have been warned. *waves stick at unbelievers*
For the rest, I am probably preaching to the choir: You have either ... [»] |

| There was a multiplayer Mass Effect First Person shooter? | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 16th, 2012 | Mass Effect 3 has a multiplayer component. I can’t say I’ve even looked at it yet. I’m told it’s similar to Gears of War’s Horde mode and that it’s actually pretty damned good, but I’m still busy with the single player game - which is what’s always been most important to me.
The multiplayer, apparently, ... [»] |

| Lazygamer TV – The highlights of the Mweb Mass Effect 3 launch party | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 15th, 2012 | Pizza! LCD TV Screens! Prizes! An Mweb employee in a crash helmet! These were just a few of the sights that greeted me as I journalisted my way inside, as Mweb and Gamezone prepared to kick off Mass Effect 3 in a grand style.
Alongside several dozen lucky participants, we entered the Mweb M-cave for a night of food and fun, dipping our feet into the co-op gameplay of Mass Effect 3, while marvelling at how ... [»] |

| There’s just no pleasing Mass Effect fans; players petition for film grain | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 13th, 2012 | The first Mass Effect - at the time exclusive to the Xbox 360 - had an odd film grain, an overlay on the visuals that Bioware said was to make the game cinematic, though we really know it was there to cover up some poor textures. It was optional, and I turned it off pretty much immediately. It was present in Mass Effect 2 as well, but Bioware’s prowess with engine had progressed sufficiently ... [»] |

| Battlefield 3 on consoles getting custom servers | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 8th, 2012 | Those of you who’ve played EA and DICE’s fighting-for-the-shooter-crown Battlefield 3 on consoles and Pc would know that besides the obvious difference; better graphics, bigger multiplayer maps and mouse and keyboard support; there’s another element that makes playing multiplayer games on the PC a better experience; custom servers. Well, they’re coming to consoles. “All active players out ... [»] |

| I’m Commander Shepard, and 10 is my favourite review score in the Galaxy | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 6th, 2012 | Mass Effect 3’s launched in the US - meaning our American friends (and those dastardly pirates who aren’t our friends) are already doing what they can to take Earth back from the Reaper menace. Of course, that also means that reviews have started trickling through - and it looks like Mass Effect 3 has more than made up for Dragon Age II! The game’s been racking up close-to-perfect ... [»] |

| Army of Four is on the way…bro | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 5th, 2012 | Despite what certain senior staff members here think, Army of two: The 40th day will always hold a special, underrated spot in my heart, and not just because we got to indulge in a shootout inside one of our local embassies.
Sure, it may have had some generic gameplay, and it may have abused the word “bro” so much, that it almost killed the word, but the previous Army ... [»] |

| Prepare yourself for pirates and real estate in the upcoming Kingdoms of Amalur DLC | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 1st, 2012 | Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has proven to be a smash hit with gamers so far, and despite a few bugs and issues here and there, it’s been an addictive and engrossing experience that has elevated RPG Fantasy combat from a mere numbers game of hacking and slashing, into a fun gameplay system that rewards skill and ingenuity.
It’s also a massive game to play, but that doesn’t mean that isn’t room for more content. Which is just what KOA is getting, in the ... [»] |

| Everything you ever wanted to know about the Sims 3 Stuff Packs | 
Abigail Holden - February 29th, 2012 | As explained in my expansion pack article, a Sims ‘Stuff Pack’ merely contains a collection of items to add to your game. No real gameplay is added, unless it specifically revolves around interaction with said items. There is generally a mix of Build and Buy items to spruce up your home or town, as well as ... [»] |

| A Mass Effect MMO? Sounds interesting, says Bioware | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 28th, 2012 | Bioware has had a busy year so far, wrapping up production the latest Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, while also putting the finshing touches on Mass Effect 3. And while everyone knows that this will not be the final game to come out of the Mass Effect universe, no one knows exactly what the future holds exactly for the popular ... [»] |
