OK, this is mainly about Microsoft. First I am unfortunately not getting a xbox 360 like I said I may before. Financial issue, I am poor.
Mass Effect, this game looks like a crazy hybrid Third-person-shooter action Role-playing-game. The setting, plot and story intrigue me a lot. I am reading Mass Effect Revelation, a prequel to the game; it is one of the best Sci-fi books I have ever read. I have read a lot of Sci-fi stuff and trust me, I know whats good and bad. I highly suggest reading this as it is a good read, also if your planning on getting Mass Effect why not read the prequel?
However mass Effect will not make me buy a 360. The gameplay doesn't look that interesting to me, the combat I have seen so far looks a bit dull. The conversation interupting mechanic and other new gameplay additions looks really cool though. But the game looks absolutely gorgeous graphically, and sound wise it seems pretty great. Well maybe down the line if I get a 360 I will pick up Mass Effect.
edit: i finished ME:R, best character was Saren, turian spectre was just ruthless, efficient and totally machiavellen. also he was damn cool and badass.
I still have not finished The Count of Monte Cristo yet either! I stopped reading it recently because I have been busy but it is a great classic.
Continueing my yardwork endeavors I have finally managed to remove 99% of the poisin ivy in my front yard!
Lastly I leave you with something funny. Enjoy. Its a hip-hop zelda song! WARNING: heavy amounts of profanity and mature themes.
