    Trailers: Assassin's Creed III Story Trailer

    Not crazy about the voice actor or the stereotypical "burn down a village but leave one child alive who takes a level in badass and seeks his revenge" story. Still excited as I think the setting is great (very underused in movies and games) and I enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood.

    Why does everybody hate Superman?

    One theory I like is that when kids were growing up in the 40's death was a much likelier possibility, with diseases like polio still uncured and their parents off fighting in wars and the such. Nowadays kids don't relate to/fantasise about an invincible superhero as much. They pretty much...

    5 Game Endings that are worse than Mass Effect 3

    Crysis had a crappy cliffhanger, also Rainbow 6 Vegas. They were both particularly annoying as you feel they were just missing the last act of their (already quite boring) stories, and didn't need sequels.

    Good space exploration/combat/colonising games

    If you're a trekkie there's also Birth of the Federation.

    ME3 ending spoilers...So, the Reaper cycle?

    Yeah yeah, I know, another ME3 thread. Disregarding everything else that people dislike about the ending, it has occurred to me that no matter which colour is picked the Cycle will continue, so activating the catalyst at all is pointless. Let me elaborate. Red: The Catalyst even states...

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

    I enjoyed reading about my War Assets, but none of it paid off in the ending, I wanted to see Krogans riding dinosaurs and a fat little Volus bomber smashing into a Reaper just like Porkins in Star Wars :) Also hated the lack of feedback on those side quests. Never could tell if I had...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 2

    I don't know if anyone will see this post, I feel like I've been posting non stop about this game for a week now, but there is a wonderfully eloquent article up at pixelatedgeek.com. My favorite bit, "The crux of complaints is that the ending is nonsensical and rigged; a betrayal not only...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 2

    I just really don't like the endings. The catalyst is introduced last minute and raises more questions than answers, you shouldn't be adding to your plot at this stage, you should be winding down the tension. I don't like any of the choices you make. Synthesis is just silly, too far of a...

    Mass Effect 3 Petition Raises Funds For Charity

    I don't believe all of the fans feel they are (ugh starting to hate this word) entitled to a better ending. My overwhelming feeling is that people are asking for a new ending, and are using the wrong word to do so (demand). Change 'demand a new ending' to 'request a new ending' and my...

    Mass Effect 3 ending SPOILERS!

    How about this one for you then? If the catalyst created the reapers, and the created will always destroy the creator, then why haven't the reapers destroyed the catalyst?
