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.

Gears of War 2

Marcus Fenix and company returns to the Smash Hit sequel Gears of War 2. Gears of War 2 features a more tolerable story than the first game, well it still have many unresolved plots but it has more sense than the first Gears of War. The story evolves around the Locusts aliens and world invasion plus add-on stories such as Finding Maria – Dominic Santiago’s Wife and more.

One Dead.... Grub??!!

The gameplay is still a Tactical-Shooter like the first game with new weapons, vehicles, Chainsaw match and the Brumak. Multi-player is incredibly addictive too but if you’re not into online game or don’t have an internet connection to your Xbox 360, you can play the very addictive Horde mode. It gives a Multiplayer feel and at the same time you’ll unlock massive achievement points.

Gears of War 2 was my first reason why I bought my Xbox 360. With it’s gripping, intense and rewarding gameplay, GOW2 is highly recommended for everyone with an Xbox 360 unit.
