Mass Effect 3

Well I CANNOT WAIT for Friday , as this is Mass Effect 3 day one of the happiest days of this gaming year . Mass Effect 2 is for me the greatest gaming achievement on any console from any era the conversation wheel enables you to give such varied responses that any 2 play throughs are ever the same with so many different ways to go down your chosen route be that the Good guy (Paragon) or the evil dude (Renegade) . I do always try and play with the choices I would make in the real world thus making me always go down the Paragon path.

The interactions with the members of your crew are another marvel that no other game has come close to achieving , one wrong word and you will shut down a whole story arc with that particular character so you cant just skip through the dialogue with the supporting cast every response counts.

If ME3 can take these 2 particular parts of the previous games and expand on them i will be so happy i may actually explode from gaming goodness . If you haven't pre ordered it already go do it now its pretty much a standard price £37.99 across the board from all your favourite online retailers.

Mass Effect The Movie

So it was a fairly well known secret that a mass effect movie would be being made and it seems that  Legendary Pictures  has picked up the rights to make a movie on the Mass Effect franchise, with BioWare co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka serving as executive producers along with the game franchise's executive producer Casey Hudson. The film is still in the very early stages, and Mark Protosevich (Thor, I Am Legend) has been approached to write the movie.


With its myriad worlds and alien races, Mass Effect would be a challenge to bring to the silver screen, but the strong Commander Shepard would also be an easy character to center on , for me though here lies the problem , with Commander Shepard being fully customisable everyone who played the games would probably have had a different looking main character i went for the pretty basic bald space marine look that is fairly standard to the game but i messed around with face shape and beard types etc while my friend Dave went for a Wesley Snipes (simon from demolition man) look a like  as seen in the pic below.

Personally i think you couldnt go far wrong with Sam Worthington he of Avatar , Terminator salvation fame for the standard Sheppard look .
