March 2012 saw the release of Mass Effect 3, one of the most eagerly awaited video games in recent history. The high levels of anticipation should come as no surprise when you consider the hundreds of hours the average Mass Effect fan has invested into the series. Its unique save feature, which allows players to transfer their progress from one instalment to the next, encouraged multiple playthroughs to discover what impact the decisions you make have on the story at large. Hype for the game was through the roof, which was both a good and bad thing. Excellent sales figures were a certainty, but when expectations are so high is it feasible to live up to them? It's a tough  Read the complete review

If you've paid any attention to the realm of video games recently, you'll know that Mass Effect is one of the most respected and enjoyable series around. The original title offered a fantastic role-playing experience, while the sequel had a bigger focus on action but was still excellent. The pressure was on developer Bioware, then, to make a third title that offered a mix of both exciting action and role-playing elements which fans of the original requested. There's been a lot of complaining from fans for various absurd reasons, but there's no question that Mass Effect 3 is a brilliant and epic conclusion to the series. It surpasses both of its predecessors in nearly ...  Read the complete review

Onwards and sidewards =================== Mass effect was a fun game with a fair amount of repetition, that felt like repetition. It also had some dodgy graphics (on the PC) and some poor design choices in terms of levelling and gameplay. All this, set off by a good, solid script. Mass effect 2 came along awhile later, and blew us all away. It was, in many ways, the perfect CRPG. The levelling was smart. There was a good variety of classes and powers. The weaponry was satisfying. Your companions were extremely detailed, thought out people. They had loyalty quests which were not only worth doing, but scripted as beautifully as the main game ...  Read the complete review

It's Massive! It's Effective! It's... pretty clear I've got no idea how to start this review. Nevertheless, Mass Effect 3 is upon us, after being pushed back a good six months to the disappointment of many fans. But was it worth the wait? Yes, if you don't count the ending.. but more on that later. Mass Effect 3 takes place in a universe populated by a variety of alien species and, somewhat surprisingly, doesn't rip off Star Wars or Star Trek. While both Mass Effect 1 and 2 had their own storylines, the trilogy's overarching plot involves 'The Reapers', a race of gigantic sentient machines who apparently purge the galaxy of life every 30,000 years or so. And wouldn't ...  Read the complete review

When I bought the Game? I pre ordered the game as soon as I was able to Pre order as I had really enjoyed the 2nd game so had high hopes for the third game. What were my expectations? I was expecting a game with a similar story to the second game, maybe even a better story. Where my expectations met? My expectations were met in some ways but not in others, I enjoyed the story, the character interaction. I thought the ending was okay but a bit lacking in certain aspect such as the choices I made in the first two games and the fact that the endings were pretty much the same apart from the colour of the beam fired ...  Read the complete review
