    Jimquisition: The Creepy Cull of Female Protagonists

    I first became aware of this little fiasco (and, incidentally, of Remember Me's existence) via Monday's episode of Checkpoint, LRR's gaming news show over on PATV. So, first of all: thanks you, news scandal, for alerting me to the existence of a game that looks totally fucking awesome. Got my...

    Movie Trailers: Cockneys vs Zombies - Trailer

    Nailed it. Still looks amazing, though.

    Knightfail

    I largely agree with Bob's assessment here, but I've got something else to add. While The Dark Knight Rises was, by and large, quite a good movie, what it didn't feel like was a good Batman movie. None of the themes or execution thereof felt like the character being Batman, as opposed to some...

    Mass Effect 3 - WHAT Was Your Favourite Weapon?

    Has to be a New Game+. You'll start with all your old stuff, and the first time you find a weapon, it'll upgrade it three levels. You have to buy the last two from the console in the shuttle bay.

    Mass Effect 3 - WHAT Was Your Favourite Weapon?

    Oh, and in my Vanguard playthrough, the N7 Crusader is approximately the best thing ever. Seems like it fires a slug rather than pellets. Preposterously good at taking out Guardians.

    Mass Effect 3 - WHAT Was Your Favourite Weapon?

    Not the only one; I thought it was a great balance between weight and power. As for assault rifles, though, I actually really liked the Avenger; it's lightweight, high fire rate, OK damage, and accurate as hell if you mod it properly. Oh, and the Falcon. Scaled-down version of the M-100 that...

    What I dislike about ME 3 (other than the ending)

    Actually, if you find the SSV Leipzig, you'll get this little tidbit under "Alliance First Fleet" in your War Assets:

    Oh Lord, I'd forgotten about that. So effing funny.

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 1

    Yep, exactly the same. Like I said, all that's different is that Shepard doesn't break the sword. And I had a similar reaction [https://twitter.com/#!/smike117/status/178246267095367680].

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 1

    Wait, you can actually watch those? I thought it was just some joke about there being a Blasto 6, not that it was actually interactive, like how in ME2 you can buy the first two Mass Effect novels on the Citadel, but can't actually read them. I will have to check those out. Actually, that...

    ME3 First Impressions *Spoiler Free*

    The only choice you'll get to make is which human crew member died on Virmire. Otherwise, here's a handy guide on what the default New Game looks like. [http://www.gamefront.com/mass-effect-3-psa-what-to-expect-if-you-dont-import-from-me2/] My thoughts during that moment: "That can't be...

    ME3...What RPG Elements Got Cut Exactly?

    Lack of weapons? Hell no. I think I have at least 3 different options for each weapon type at this point, and I've only been playing for about 15 hours. You can't carry heavy weapons anymore, though; now they're "find them, use them, throw them away" affairs, like any of the guns in Mirror's...

    Take the "Which Mass Effect Species Are You?" Personality Quiz!

    It's exactly that armor, actually.

    Take the "Which Mass Effect Species Are You?" Personality Quiz!

    Why oh why is the "human" picture Shepard in medium Phoenix armor? Seriously, you couldn't have used ME2 Shepard in the N7 armor? Or ME3 Kaidan? Sorry, not exactly the biggest deal, I know, but . . .
