Mass Effect 2

It’s been a very long time since this site was last updated. So this might be a good time to show some pretty pictures of the much-anticipated sequel to Mass Effect. Mass Effect 2 is an action RPG currently being developed by the fine folks of BioWare. The plan is to release Mass Effect 2 near the end of January in the US and EU, so not in time for Christmas. BioWare is promising more detailed characters, both graphically and technically. Time for some pretty pictures :

We are looking forward to an experience as good, or even better, as the first Mass Effect.

Fallout 3 : The Pitt

Ignoring some of the nasty bugs (software bugs, that is), Fallout 3 was a pleasure to play. The graphics were good, lots of interesting characters, and above all a big world to explore as you wish. Developer Bethesda released their first Fallout 3 expansion a few months ago. Operation Anchorage is more of a first person shooter than the hybrid RPG/FPS Fallout 3 is. The Pitt add-on is more similar to the original game. You get to explore Pittsburgh, a city that has not been affected by nuclear fallout as much as the cities in Fallout 3. IGN has posted a review on their site, including video footage. Take a look here.

I’m afraid The Pitt is a bit buggy, hopefully Bethesda will be releasing a patch soon.

EA Delays The Sims 3 Release

The Sims 3

The release of the latest addition to the hugely successful Sims franchise has been delayed. Fans of the series would have been able to start designing new houses and people at the end of this month without the delay. The release date is pushed back to June 2 of this year.

The Sims 3

The reason for the delay was given by Russell Arons, Vice President of Marketing at Electronic Arts : “The June launch combined with the break-through game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3.” Seems like quite a strange reason, for The Sims series is one of the most well known games in the world.

The game uses Valve’s Counter-Strike Source Engine, so expect pretty pictures and interesting physics. The game is basically cut up into 4 movie-campaigns. The humour in this game is definitely one of its stronger points. The characters you can play/meet all have their unique characteristics.
