<smug>I bought it before the endurance run because of destructoid</smug>
 
But seriously though, this game has enough weird stuff in side missions and in stuff you probably won't see on the endurance run that it's worth a buy. Plus some of the side missions give you rewards like different suits and weapons that break the game.

The only games I really enjoyed out of the launch titles were the konami games. I'd go for most of those since they were all really good and something you normally don't see re-released a billion times like the atari games, and the intellivision games just have emulation issues. Although Astrosmash is still good through the weird intellivision emulation..
 
But narrowing down the konami titles, the ones I would get would be shao-lin's road, scramble, finalizer, jungler, and battlantis. Scramble's the same game as Super Cobra so those games are really more about which one you prefer, I just prefer scramble.

Ok after playing it I noticed that the game has a new translation.
 
And one of the things I noticed about the new translation is that balrog doesn't say huzzah anymore. Should I be ticked off at this?

" I bet that 90% of the people that are trashing him and his review haven't even played the game. 50% of you probably didn't even read the review. "
I also bet that the people saying that Jim Sterling is an attention whore probably didn't read his "Assassins Creed 2" review or his "Heavy Rain" review either. Funny then that they feel the need to use those two reviews in their argument even though they have no idea what they're talking about.

" X360 exclusive?! This is bullshit! "

The Japanese version of the game is out for the PS3, it's region free, and it's in english. The only difference is that it's called "Red Seeds Profile" instead. And it also costs 79 bucks for an import...

B. I didn't play my game trying to be full paragon... but come on!  Me throwing that guy out of the window and not saying anything to the quarians about war is one thing, but I'm not giving extremely dangerous technology to a terrorist group. 
 
Look I was fine with killing the council in the first game (the fleet needed to take their shots at sovereign, I wasn't going to put them in danger to save the lives of a the few). But this... this is just too damn risky.

Well Bioware themselves have said that they know what quarians look like. So obviously they have a set look for quarians. So they may possibly show them. "
 Oh I'm sure there was a time in the early stages of creating the first mass effect where the quarians didn't wear protective suits and there's concept art of what they look like, it just won't ever show up in the games.
 
You're talking about an entire alien species whose immune system is shot to hell. I mean hell, bioware even retconned their immune systems in the second game to make them even more prone to disease. It's just not going to happen.

@deaux: From what steam says, it's actually 10 bucks cheaper than empire.
 
Unless you go with the imperial edition which is throwing in Medieval II as a pre-order bonus and a whole bunch of elite units which will probably be sold separately after the game's released.

What's even crazier than mods getting achievement points is that red orchestra was originally a mod of unreal tournament 2004. 
 
So we have achievements for a mod of yet another mod. Freaky.
