    reckless_x's Mass Effect 3 (Xbox 360) review

    Mass Respect.

    Oh, Mass Effect, I just want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the ridicule and adjustment you've had to go through over the last year. I wish it weren't the case. Maybe I was given ample time to prepare myself for an underwhelming ending, or maybe it just wasn't that bad. I DON'T KNOW. What I can say is that I truly took no issue in it. Would I have wanted the game to end with a bit more clarity? Maybe. But this doesn't detract from the wonderful time we spent together. I think a lot of the jadedness for the latest installment can be compared to the rise and fall of any romantic relationship. You begin with all this tinging possibility, share intimate moments with another, build this foundation, and then BAM, she's not who you thought she was, bro. Bitterness activated! I must say I certainly feel as though Mass Effect 2 was the pinnacle of the franchise, but by no means was Mass Effect 3 a bad game. I actually REALLY enjoyed it - hence why it's up here! I'm a sucker for the lore - I love the Mass Effect universe and I love being in it. Javik (though DLC content) added so much more to this story that I couldn't get enough of. So I was more than happy to skirt around the galaxy patching up rivalries and whatnot all to build this majestic Crucible. For what it's worth, I spent a lot more time on multiplayer than I thought I ever would. Realistically speaking, I think I sunk more time in this multiplayer than any other game on the 360. GOOD TIMES WERE HAD, and there's nothing you can do to take that away from me. I love you, Mordin.

      I would say I’ve been salivating over the arrival of this game since I finished Mass Effect 2, but that would be false. In truth I’ve been clamoring for the epic conclusion of Commander Shepard’s journey ever since I first took down Saren and Sovereign in the first Mass Effect back in 2007. To say that Mass Effect 3 has big shoes to fill would be an understatement seeing as the shoes have become as large as BioWare’s ambition was back when they first set-out to make an epic sci-fi stor...

      Mass Effect 3 Review: Fight or Die 0

      Mass Effect 3 faces the impossible task of wrapping up a truly epic story arc, improving core gameplay mechanics and satisfying all the fan groups of the series, but it has a damn good go at doing just that. The game has a huge amount of considerations to make, and I do not envy Bioware having to develop this colossus, but the final product is one that has many nervous of the quality that the game can provide. Has Mass Effect fallen into a mainstream design that abandons its roots or has Bioware...
