Setting traps usually implies a slower, more cautious pace than usual. Is this a stealth combat game?

The ship needs a crew to operate. On top of that, it has a shackled AI running it. I'm not sure how you could expect to eliminate the crew and AI and still somehow make off with it. Plot-wise, the bases seem to be covered here. It's the second part of a trilogy. Typically, not a point for...

I invested in both Shadowrun and Wasteland 2. Michael Stackpole has a way of inspiring confidence. What watch are you guys talking about? The Pebble?

Wow. This actually happened. So happy. The movie did not kill the franchise. Not sure well it works to have to the avatar be more mature and more accomplished at bending than Aang. She's not gonna have as far to go. Maybe it'll only be one season. Oh well. I'll take what I can get.

What gives? I thought this was gonna be free? Oh, only free-to-play.

If you enoyed that, might want to check out Dan Simmons' "Hyperion". Pretty safe bet that it influenced ME to some degree. It wasn't??? Oh, I see what you mean. There was also a green button and blue button as well. They all pretty much do the same thing, you know. :)

I assure you I meant "dull quantoid" in the nicest possible way. Here's the IGN ME3 spoliercast. Covers a lot of the yin and yang about the ending controversy, as well as the popular unofficial theory ("it's all a dream!). It's pretty long, so get settled in. <object...

One of the game's more humorous moments is Tali getting drunk in the ship's lounge, obviously pining for Shepard. Proceeding down to engineering, I found her harassing Javik over the intercom, accusing him of being a big softy inside (which, of course, he is not).

Always bugs me a little that we consider ME to have "romance" when for the most part all that really happens in 1 and 2 is Shepard gets laid and then goes about his/her business. Anyways, I snogged Ashley in 1, mostly for lack of other good options (Liara is a dull quantoid, and Tali looks like...

True, Mordin's swan song was wrenching. And I suppose you're right about Thane. I mean, if you're gonna die anyway, might as well go out fighting. Guess he wanted to be available for his son.

As with Wrexe, Mordin, Legion, Jacob, the Rachni queen, and so forth, you get a placeholder NPC if the primary character perished at some point. I don't think the placeholder Grunt fares as well as the original (nor should he). I agree with Kzach that Legion's sacrifice seems contrived. OTOH...

Well, the one I'm talking about has a few extra seconds at the end where Shepard is shown alive, and he takes a breath. Since the Citadel is quite clearly shown to be obliterated during the cutscene, I think most reasonable folks would find that to be a little jarring. But, suit yourself. The...

It's not a failure of imagination. It's simply not very plausible given the circumstances and time frame that the characters on earth would have the opportunity to rendezvous with the Normandy, which is supposedly supporting the space battle. Although given the number of inconsistencies with...

If I had to pick one game as most-beloved, it would be a three-way tie. There's X-Com, there's Road Rash, and then there's Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis. That was the spring break where I didn't go on vacation; rather I spent every waking hour roaming Seattle. It was a rare thing for its time...

Definitely noticed this. Partially it's because 3 is much roomier. Long hallways allow you to pick enemies off before they can mount an offense. In 1 & 2, they were often zerging in right on top of you. Plus, there were more enemies like geth stalkers and Krogans that were extra-dangrous up...

Interesting. Garrus is actually pretty fragile. Ashley is sort of medium toughness at best. But if you buy up their class power quickly, they have around +150% damage with rifles. As an infiltrator, I'd say Garrus's Overload and Armor-Piercing ammo are super-cool assets. Definitely welcome...

So, we can chalk those down to moot decisions?

Looks like EDI is a very popular lady. I have nothing but regrets about choosing Ashley over Kaiden. While Ashley's just some boring gunner, his tech/biotic powers look interesting (at least going from the ME wiki). Wish I could've taken them for a spin. Come to think of it, I only had one...

Well, maybe it allowed the Citadel to put up stronger resistance to its takeover, kill off a few more marauders before they died. Was I the only one half-expecting that when Shepard got to the Citadel, that Keeper would turn around with a cigarette holder in one of its claws and say something...

In the interest of comparing notes, here's a little questionaire: 1) What class(es) did you play as? 2) Who was your most used squadmate? 3) Who was your least used squadmate? 4) What was your favorite power that you unlocked from a squadate? My answers: 1) Infiltrator 2) Probably EDI...
