With an average score of 96 on Metacritic, one would be justified in believing Mass Effect 2 has little room for improvement. An overwhelming majority of so-called game critics have weighed-in, predictably showering Bioware’s latest RPG with roses and garlands.


Bioware is one of a select number of game companies that receives a +3 modifier in review scores. So take an average game that would normally receive a 7, add Bioware’s name to the box, and oila! Instant 10. While this may be great for Bioware’s bottom-line, it’s actually a grave disservice to the company and gamers, not to mention a glowing example of everything that is wrong in game journalism; criticism specifically.

Having played and finished Mass Effect 2, I can safely say, without reservation or hesitation, that Bioware’s latest RPG is a complete mess, from top-to-bottom and not a product worthy of Bioware’s heritage. 

 
Co-founder of Bio Ware Ray Muzyka said :" It's nice to receive nice words and congratulations, but I'm more interested in how we drive success in the future. how we make our next games even better than Mass Effect." 
 
 Well Ray, if you want to know how to improve your franchise then I highly recommend you don’t read any actual reviews, because my brethren in the journalism community are rabid fanboys who unfortunately have bylines. You also won’t find much at Metacritic because they de-list any site that has review scores that are not within some arbitrary average, which defeats the entire purpose of aggregate reviews when you remove low scores.

James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar may have sunk Titanic to become the most successful film of all time in terms of the amount of money it has taken worldwide. However, it still has some way to go in order to become the most popular movie of all time with cinemagoers - according to these statistics.

Avatar’s success is a staggering feat considering it’s not a sequel or a remake, but its 'most money ever' box office triumph can be largely attributed to inflation, rising ticket prices and the fact most cinemas are charging extra for 3D movies, thanks to the additional cost of 3D technology and handing out 3D glasses.

If you ignore how much money a film has made, and base its popularity on the number of tickets sold, then Avatar is actually still a long way off number 1. These figures below (based on US cinema attendance) show it's actually the 26th biggest film of all time so far, having sold 76,421,000 tickets.

Take a look at the Top 20 movies of all time according to the number of tickets sold, as ranked by US website Hollywood Reporter.

1 Gone With the Wind - 202,044,600

2 Star Wars -178,119,600

3 The Sound of Music -142,415,400

4 ET: The Extra-Terrestrial -141,854,300

5 The Ten Commandments - 131,000,000

6 Titanic - 128,345,900

7 Jaws - 128,078,800

8 Doctor Zhivago  -124,135,500

9 The Exorcist - 110,568,700

10 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 109,000,000

11 101 Dalmatians - 99,917,300

12 The Empire Strikes Back - 98,180,600

13 Ben-Hur - 98,000,000

14 Return of the Jedi -94,059,400

15 The Sting - 89,142,900

16 Raiders of the Lost Ark - 88,141,900

17 Jurassic Park - 86,205,800

18 The Graduate - 85,571,400

19 Star Wars: Episode I - 84,825,800

20 Fantasia - 83,043,500

Hi there, this has nothing to do with games but it's very important for you to know. Especially for people from Central/Western Europe,UK and US who like me thought they knew about things that were happening in Serbian southern province of Kosovo. We were led to believe by US and British (NATO) governments via big news agencies and tv stations like BBC and CNN that Serbians attacked albanians in Kosovo for no good reason, just because they were on their land. Well, the real truth could not be more different. For me, it was shocking!  I'll let you see for your selfs.
