Mass Effect 2 - Fight for the Lost

I’m a huge fan of Sci-Fi RPG’s. When Mass Effect 1 1^st came out to PC and Xbox 360, I was pretty much excited.. I got even more crazed out when I heard the Bioware was developing the game. Bioware is known for making Top-Class RPG’s such as Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. When I heard About Mass Effect 2 last year, I got excited more than I felt on Mass Effect 1 last 2008. Then Last January, Mass Effect 2 were on the store shelves on every game store and I immediately bought the game eventhough we are on a tight budget.

The Illusive Man

Mass Effect 2’s story features the events after Saren and the Reapers were defeated. You still play as Commander Shepard, the fearless leader of Normandy and you have a new breed of enemy known as the Collectors. You’ll be recruited by the Illusive Man leader of Cereberus, a new somewhat corrupted organization who’s after the Collectors. *Spoiler Alert! You need to play this game instead of reading it! Trust me.

Wage war against the Collectors

Graphics,  Gameplay and Sounds:

Mass Effect 2 uses state-of-the-art Unreal Engine 3, the same engine used on Gears of War and Mass Effect 1 although Mass Effect 2 has more updates than the old ones. It still plays like Mass Effect 1, Real-Time Shooter with lots of fire power. Although, this time your weapons don’t rely and Cooling time… instead, your weapon uses ammo/bullets so expect more adrenaline action throughout the game, reloading makes the game more exciting. You’ll have tons of quests which you can earn hundreds of Achievement Points. NPC’s and people around the system are so life-like and very busy plus galaxies and planetary structures are so detailed. Sounds and Musical Scores are superb and Voice acting are Hollywood Driven.

Mass Effect 2 is a must have for your Xbox 360 *nuff said.

Mass Effect for Xbox 360

Are you into Sci-Fi games? Do you like the TV series Battlestar Galactica? Well, Mass Effect is for you. Bioware’s Mass Effect is an Open World Space Science Fiction RPG. Forget click and slash RPG elements, in Mass Effect you get to play it in Real Time Combat. Instead of pausing the game and planning your attack, you get to use, aim and shoot your gun to kill your enemies.

Graphics are superb, 3D rendering and level terrain textures are well polished although sometimes some objects tends to be a little bit too shiny. Lighting and explosions are well fitted for a Sci-Fi game, character models and other objects are well textured as well.

Sounds are excellent. Gunshots and grenades will make your room like a real time battlefield. Mass Effect is known for excellent sound and music arrangements mixed with good voice acting.

The Story is no doubt the best part of the game. Like I said before, this is a Sci Fi game, if you liked Battlestar Galactica, you will love Mass Effect even more. The story revolves around the protagonist John Shepard and the traitor Saren. You will have to go explore the whole universe, eliminate Saren and save all species. In your journey, you will also find excellent crew members and get to play each of their stories as well.

Mass Effect is Bioware’s Masterpiece and one of 2008’s Top Games for the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows. Mass Effect 2 is coming on Q1 2010, be sure to play and finish this game first.
