I have been playing through Beyond Good & Evil for the first time and am very near the end of the game. I am in the last chapter; preparing to go to the moon. However, I do not have enough Pearls to buy the stellar engine and have already connected the Beluga to the hovercraft by installing the Flight Stabilizers. Is it possible to disconnect the Beluga from the hovercraft? It would help me greatly, as I could do several hovercraft focused Pearl challenges. Thanks.

I have logged in and out several times in an attempt to jump-start the content, to no avail. When I went to the Bioware website to check my characters and DLC it only showed the first character I ever made and have long since deleted. I fear for my City Elf who had just made it to the Landsmeet!

 - Possessed Connor with Desire demon
- Arl's Wife died in blood ritual
- Killed Jowan   
- Cleared the path for the pilgrims to get to Andraste's Ashes
- Sided with the Werewolves; Killed elves
- Destroyed the Anvil of the Void  
- Made Harrowmont king
- Opened Chantry in Orzammar
- Alistair killed Loghain
- Made Alistair king; Anora locked in keep 
- Flemeth alive; Never did Morrigan companion quest
- Alistair knocked up Morrigan with an Elder God soul
- Emancipated Mage's from Chantry/Templar control
 
Of these decisions I think the most devastating effect I had on the world was the possession of Connor. Lady Redcliffe dided, leaving the Arl without a wife. In the epilogue it is said that Connor was sent to the Circle Tower to learn magic properly. Adding to this I emancipated the Circle Tower so there should no longer be Templar's there, leaving the Desire demon the perfect opportunity to fully embody Connor and wreak havoc on the now defenseless magi.
 
On top of this there is there exists in my world a being with the blood of a king and a soul of a god...I'm sure Bioware wouldn't pass on the chance to use that.

So I've been playing a lot of DA:O recently, trying to finish a few additional characters I started, but all of a sudden I cannot access my save games. When I hit resume on the main menu I receive a message that says my account does not have access to the Feral Wolf Charm, Memory Band, or other Collector's Edition content I have had since day one. The real problem stems from the fact that my saved games have that content in them, but seeing that my EA/Bioware profile no longer recognizes them I cannot access those saves, essentially locking me out of my characters. I played the game just last night and today when I logged on this issue occurred. Does anyone know what caused this and how it could be fixed? Thanks.

If I played Dragon Age: Origins for the PC with a retail disc copy would my saves transfer to a Steam copy of Dragon Age 2? 
 
I pose the same question to transferring content from a disc of Dragon Age: Origins to a Steam copy of Awakening.
 
I have also considered purchasing the Steam version of the Ultimate Edition as I have not played Awakening yet and would like to replay the game anyway.

I would recommend you do the Mage Tower first. This is because you acquire Wynne during this quest who is the game's designated Healer. Unless you're playing a mage yourself, it is nice to get a healer as soon as possible.

KOTOR's plot twist is one of the reasons why it is my favorite game. I must admit, I never once considered that I was Revan. I can still remember the night I played that section of the game. As soon as Malak revealed the truth to me my parents said that dinner was ready. I left the game running, went to the table and hardly ate anything. I was emotionally devastated. As I was playing the game as a Sith it was a somewhat satisfying character moment. But I was so connected with my character I myself began to question who I was and how I could forget my past. It was one of the best character moments I have ever had in a game.

After weeks of anticipation, replaying the original Dead Space, and sitting through about 4 of those God awful minigames in Ignition I finally started playing Dead Space 2 last night. This, to my horror and shame, ended very early on as I got stuck in the first chapter. 
 
I am in the Triage Room with the stasis beds before even collecting Isaac's proper armor. This room has both the Hacking and Stasis tutorials in it. After hacking a computer terminal in the Triage Room a large Necromorph falls from the ceiling into a malfunctioning stasis unit. This necoromorph has killed me dozens of times, forcing me to continually suffer both the Hacking segment and the inevitable death. I have shot this thing in the neck, arm and hip joints repeatedly but every time it kills me in one hit. I have full health upon entering this room. I have only succeeded in getting behind the necromorph once, but by then it has exited stasis, turns around and immediately kills me. 
 
What is most upsetting is the amount of time Isaac takes getting out of his Hacking animation. As I watch the monster run towards me, barreling ever closer, Isaac slowly and methodically removes his hand from the computer, grips his hand and then, after the beast is right on him, I receive control of Isaac. Am I missing something? 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this room is completely preventing my continued enjoyment of the game. Thanks.

While I have owned my PS3 for several years now and have enjoyed many of the systems exclusive titles I frequently buy multi-platform games on my Xbox 360. I do this for several reasons ranging from my larger friends list on 360 to my general preference of the 360 controller. However, this year Sony has, through good ol' fashion business marketing synergy, enticed me to buy three multi-platform games on the PS3. 
 
At last year's E3 press conference Sony unveiled two of these titles. The first being Dead Space 2. With each copy of Dead Space 2, a game whose predecessor I played on 360, came with a copy of Dead Space: Extraction. So, for no additional cost I would be given a second game. And one that I had been interested in playing on the Wii several years prior. In actuality I had played Extraction previously for a short period of time. I thought the game was atrociously slow for a "guided first person experience," but none the less a free game is a free game. That is unless you count the $50 Playstation Move controller I will need to buy if I wish to play this now, supposedly free, game. So, to reiterate, Sony has gotten me to purchase a game I was planning on buying for 360, for a game I didn't even like, that I must buy a $50 controller for.
 
Also announced at last year's presser was the news that Portal 2 would be coming to the PS3, ending the long silence between Valve and Sony that came in the wake of the third-party ported, and completely broken, Orange Box for PS3. Along with this announcement came the news of a revolutionary cloud support system via Steam for the PS3 edition of Portal 2. This did, though, not entirely concern me as I still planned on purchasing Portal 2 on what many would assume be its lead-platform, the PC. But last week, in a crazy pants announcement by Valve, it was revealed that anyone who bought a PS3 copy of "Portal 2" and connected it with a Steam account would receive a free copy of the game on the PC. So, while I will still own Portal 2 on the PC, as originally planned, Sony has insured that I will still be laying down another $60 on a PS3 game. Whatever backroom business shenanigans Sony had to agree to with Valve to produce this amazing offer will be stuff of legends!
 
Last is a game that I have toyed with buying in the past, Tiger Woods PGA Tour [Insert Year]. I have only bought one of these games in the past, and while I am not a fan or player of "meat space" golf, I poured hours into it. The time I spent with Tiger 05 for the Xbox led to some of the most fun I have ever had with a sports game and I have for the past few years attempted to recapture that with the series more recent entries. Tiger 09 for the Wii implemented Motion Plus, which nearly hooked me back into the experience. But the Wii's lackluster processing power failed to provide the graphical quality I had come to expect from a modern title. This year the PS3 edition of Tiger will feature Move support out of the box. Furthermore, the PS3 will have an exclusive collector's edition with five additional courses. So, not only has Sony gotten me to buy the PS3 copy of Tiger 12, I will be spending an additional $10 on the collector's edition, a modest increase at $2 per additional course. And let's not forget this further incentivises my purchase of the Playstation Move controller.
 
So, Sony, bravo. You have brilliantly marketed your system and new motion controller into $190 worth of games that I would have otherwise given to your competitors. Now please support the Move better than Nintendo did with the Motion Plus.

Last year I toyed with the idea of buying Tiger '11 because of Move support. This year's refined, out-of-the-box Move support and the inclusion of The Masters is enough to get me to buy this. I will most likely get the PS3 Collector's Edition.
