Our Mass Effect 3 Review!
Xplay - S2012 - E20
The original Mass Effect was an excellent game. Sequel Mass Effect 2 went on to win our 2010 Game of the Year award. Now, the epic space trilogy concludes with the arrival of the highly anticipated Mass Effect 3, and we'll have a big two-part review and discussion of what this series has meant to gaming. Mass Effect 3 adds 4-player co-op into the mix, something that when done right can make for a great time. We'll run down the games that have done it the best. Not knowing what you're doing will get you killed in a hurry in Gears of War 3, but pro gamer Tsquared will have the tips you need for dominating online play. For the tidy sum of ,000, the Blue Tiger Motion Simulator controller promises to bring all the high-speed action of videogame racing to real life. We'll go hands-on for a closer look.
