Mass Effect Review.

Ok guys, it has been long since I wrote my last review, but I couldn.t let pass the oportunity to share with you the great experience that was playing an incredible game such as Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is the last product from Bioware, same company who developed games as KOTOR and Jade Empire, both for the previous Xbox, and if you played those games before, then you can imagine how great Mass Effect can be.

Mass Effect is about the future of humanity, and how they are discovered by other alien civilazations that were rulling the galaxy already, they are the newbies in the Galactic Council, nobody really like the Humans, you might even think that they are kind of scared of them somehow.

All this was possible due some ancient ruins the humans discovered in Mars, those ruins belonged to an ancient culture called the Protheans, who left some sort of technology behind and with it, humans where able to travel through the whole galaxy.

You are Commander Shepard, the local hero, the man or woman, whatever you choose, that will be in charge of changing the history of the whole galaxy, and to do so you will have to take desicions, none of them easy, and all of them will affect your surroundings and how people react to you, so with this in mind, you will have to think about the outcomes on every desicion you take or make.

Mass Effect has this special feature which is taking you into the game, into the character, into the story, the writers of Bioware are just amazing and they created this incredibly epic story and put you on it as the starring character, I don't want to tell you anything else about the story of the game, because is to good to spoil it, so i will tell you about the gameplay.

The gameplay in Mass Effect is really good, it could be a little difficult at the beginning, trying to find the best way to engage your enemy, what will be your strategy to follow and where are you going to position your crew members so they can help you better.

Bioware took out the turn based battles to a free based one, which allows you to take cover and run if you are in a situation surrounded by enemies, but you can as well access the abilities menu and then the game will enter to some sort of pause mode that will allow you to choose the ability and the target you want. When you have mastered this method of fighting, the game starts to get so fun and addictive, because you will start to make your choices bewteen your biotic powers or gun based powers and the very helpfull tech powers.

As exploration, Mass Effect gives you an entire galaxy to explore, you have several sidequests that will take you through different planets inside the clusters available to explore, you will be driving an special vehicle called the Maco, which is very entertaining, sometimes is alittle hard to get to some spots like at the top of some montains but still very fun to do.

The value of this game is really high, because actually you will have to at least play through it three times in order to get most of the achievements, I already got the 1000 points of this game and it was a great experience, the achievements really make you want to try it one more time, not to mention that if you go for most of the sidequests and the main quest it will take you at least 30 to 40 hours to complete the game.

Unfortunately, due to the technical issues with the UE 3, Mass effect has some problems while loading the textures, they pop up after one second or two, but that is actually not an issue that interfires with the gameplay or the experience at all, the framerate is actually good, there might be some framerate problems, maybe one or two during the whole game, so, it is not actually a big issue as well, actually the graphics are really impressive and the sound is perfect as well, the conversations the storyline everything in Mass Effect is so immersive and amazing.

I haven't enjoyed so much a game for so long, Mass Effect is a great action RPG, is a really great oportunity to know the work of bioware if you haven't, is a really great experience and belive me that you won't be dissapointed, this is a game that you should give it a try, you'll find yourself involved with your character and the story, you will take a couple of minutes before you take your desicion, knowing that it will take an effect in the conclusion of your story, and if you have the blood of a true hero or the reckleness of a mercenary.

Mass Effect...hands down, one of the best games available for the XBOX 360 right now. Go and get it!!!!!! :D

Gears of War

Hi poeple...

Well, I'm kind of dissapointed because my DVD of Gears of War got a strange crack and it doesn't play correctly anymore :?, I won't be able to play with all you until, of course, I get a new copy, in the mean timeI will be playing some Forza and I rented the game Overlord, I thought it was good to rent it before thinking in buying it.

Anyway, have a nice day and keep the good games coming !!!! :D

See you Next Time !!! :arrow:

Coming Soon !!!

Wait for a new blog Era, an entirely new way in blog posting....

Nahhh, I'm just kidding, is just that I still don't have any idea right now, but soon I will come up with something. :D

See Ya !!!!!
