Don't tell me Miranda's buzzooms have hooked even you, Will.

Kills the Council Kills Wrex Kills the Rachni Queen Has nothing to do with Conrad Virmires your same sex squadmate Thanks Maria. That's a little too much killing for tastes ...but I really don't have it in me to replay ME, side-quests and all, right now. Default it is!

Crap! I lost my Shepard. I really didn't want to have to replay ME again. Any word on what decisions default Shep goes off?

GameSpot revealed Chesty Jefferson earlier today. Bosoms aside, she seems interesting enough.

Silly question but does anyone know if the Xbox Originals range come with wide-screen HD support? I'm considering buying Psychonauts but I may as well download from GOG if it looks like junk on the 360.

YES! My Dreamcast done broke long time ago but my girlfriend eBay'd me an almost new one (only eleven previous owners) for Christmas. Cool beans! I'm having trouble progressing in Dragon Age but only because I've gamers OCD and everything my PC says or does has to be exactly right or else I restart.

Well of course you don't care! ...judging by the negative feedback, it's a deal breaker to some howevers. Seriously, you'd think Mass Effect were a Japanese dating sim from all attention it's romances get. Why not go play Do You Like Horny Bunnies? instead?

Uh oh! Trouble a brewin'. Casey Hudson confirms the obvious, Mass Effect's romanceables will not return as recruitable squadmates.

I'm still holding out for that high school RPG MCA promised.

Nice to know it's optional at least. How's everyone finding the difficulty? I've read a couple of complaints that it's too steep.

Too true, dude. There's a degree of titillation that feels kinda really superficial and ...I dunno, maybe a little bit cynical? Actually I'm trying to think of a in-game romance done well and I'm coming up spare. Jaheira maybe? She'll always have a special place in my geekish heart.

Gaider. Dave Gaider! *sigh* Yeah, I prefer his work with Nirvana.

Which Dave are we talking about here? Dave Grohl?

What do you think so far, Mus? Same deal with Lost Odyssey. I've played only till Grand Staff but it's slow going, for sure.

Completed Tales of Vesperia ...finally! The end was a long time coming, I must've sank sixty plus hours into playing this stupid game! I don't think I have it in me to do that any more. Still, much fun. I've some beef with the amount of extraneous dialogue, some of it a real slog, but the emptiness I feel in my belly and the shooting pains through my arm tell me I really enjoyed it. ...I'm gonna go lie down.

How could I forget The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Last Day especially. The weirdest (and best!) Zelda game, I think.

Worzel Gummidge's son? Cool.

Like awesome looking trees? Lots of games use speedtree but to date I've never seen anyone do it better than Oblivion. It's truly the greatest hiking sim ever. I sense new downloadable content. Daedric Cagoule + Thermos of Holding, five bucks for the pair.

I can't think of one fantasy game where the dwarves had more attractive faces. Now the *bodies*... I think it's more my artistic skill to be honest. All I'm good for is making Moe Szyslaks. I'm actually quite excited to play this now... s'weird.

Hmm, there's some real pug uglies alright. I know dwarf commoners aren't supposed to be the beauty queen type but c'mon! It's not Oblivion bad at least. BTW, is the experienced elf soundset Mark Meer?

Anyone played Mirror's Edge? I hear it's a mixed bag but it is going cheap these days.

Oh no. Weird bodies, really? They're not Fallout 3 weird are they? I'll wait for the fan mod + nudity patch, thank you very much.

I bought SHOGO: MAD for nostalgia. I love you, Monolith.

Tales of Vesperia still. It's all kinds of ballsy. How often does a JRPG protagonist . I understand Yuri's reasoning but I'm actually a little shocked, especially by which was genuinely unsettling, probably because Liam O'Brien is so ace.

Bruce Willis' weave creeps me out some. I'm sure in the context of the film it works ...sure and simple way to distinguish between his character and his character's surrogate, but c'mon! They couldn't find a better rug than that?! Elton John's piece looks more convincing. Right. Of the relatively few films I've seen this year ...Moon, District 9, Inglourious Basterds, Adventureland and Star Trek have been among the best. A fine year for sci-fi.
