Ranged/stealth characters are best off with a mage companion or Jenassa/Aela the Huntress. Strangely enough, with my current melee character Lydia sticks to her bow the entire time.

In my experience, Lydia has the worst AI of them all. Never had any issues with other companions' pathfinding and lagging behind twenty miles like with her.

Sarcastic female Hawke was so much better a protagonist than that dull grunt Shepard.

Multiplayer might make ME3 BioWare's top seller, but there seems to be a lot of raeg about the Prothean DLC as well, so who knows.

True to themselves, Bethesda of course found a way to break something as inconsequential and tacked on as the marriage feature. There are two expert trainers and two master trainers in the Companions; if you marry one of them, you can get free training.

Romance in Skyrim is the same as in any BioWare game, just with all the excess fluff removed, i.e. fifty conversations agreeing with romancable NPC and/or solving daddy issues. Bare-bones ego-stroking with everyone being interested because your character is so totally awesome as the mighty Dragonborn. Of course, the NPCs I actually wanted to marry weren't available. Bethesdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Replaying ME2 after ME1, I was surprised how bland and uninspired Jennifer Hale's voice-over suddenly became. No emotion or passion whatsoever, while she was pretty amazing in Bulletstorm. Maybe the BioWare voice direction wore her out.

Funny thing about Bulletstorm (and Arkham City, for that matter). I was thinking about replaying it, but then realized this would mean I'd have Steam, Games for windows live and Origin on the same computer... thanks but no thanks.

I'm replaying Mass Effect 2 and somehow I find myself loaded with all loyalty missions of my recruits and I haven't even been to Illium yet. I don't remember the game rushing me this much when I played it two years ago.

Now let's wait and see if I have succesfully summoned obyknven.

Piranha Bytes game in name only. There appear to be more than five women in the game.

Bah. Sorry Mr Putin, but Russia is all but irrelevant today. But, by all means, keep using that Security Council veto and invade some more small Caucasus countries with your 24-year old tanks.

America is truly the land of opportunity, with utter idiots like Palin & Bachmann able to make it to the political top and raving lunatics like Santorum getting away with pure lies and slander.

Not everything on eBay is automatically "used". But naked women aside, I prefer to have a boxed copy of all my computer games.

Bethesda would be better off with scrapping guilds in TES, but the fanbase demands. Best content in Skyrim is made up by the unmarked quests, like Frostflow lighthouse and the Pale Lady. Little setpieces in certain dungeons. Bethesda is at their best when they let the world tell the story.

Any word on whether the Prothean is romancable? Last of his (her?) race, 50000 years old... there's a lot of potential here for fixing another tortured soul.

I can get a DS3 Limited edition on eBay. What's the difference between this and the normal edition?

Classics were stopped being made in 2003.

The Prothean party member, while delightfully absurd, does not impress me all that much. Nothing is every going to top Anachronox, where you got a planet as party member. But yeah, Anachronox blows Mass Effect away in pretty much every regard. Come to think of it, the way space travel works and the Ancient Evil

*cough* Lair of the Shadow Broker *cough* Arrival *cough*

Every ounce of intelligence the Reapers may ever have possessed completely went down the drain with ME2.

The little girl looked like Rapunzel from that Disney movie.

Might as well wait for Beyond good & evil 2.
