Thanks to my parents I have Guitar Hero 3 from HMV @ £60. I traded in Dead Rising, GRAW2 and Splinter Cell for £25 + card points and I got Ace Combat 6 for nearly free so I only had to pay for Mass Effect really. Only hit me on the way home that I don't have time now to really play them.

I got my copy of Mass Effect and GH3 through, and I love the Mass Effect LE box, lovely and shiny. 4pm needs to get here quicker so I can go home and start my birthday weekend in style!

Tell your boss its 4pm somewhere and walk off

Wow Mass Effect is gripping stuff. It does feel like KOTR. I'm going around as a guy who escaped the gangs on Earth by joining the military. While on a mission I saw everyone get killed and I was the only survivor. I'm a bit of a lose canon, a heartless guy who doesn't have time for pleasantries. For the most part I'll play by the rules. Though there are times when I just won't care and I will kill for fun. The way the game works with the options you've chosen really add to the whole character effect. People have heard of me, people have heard of the incidents that shaped my character. Theres so much voice acting too. Its great not to have to read bits of text for unimportant NPCs. Its a really engrossing game. However, the frame rate does drop often. There's a lot of tearing and texture popups. It does feel like they didn't have time to finish up coding it, like its a preview release. Its a darn shame because this is the sort of game you want to get caught up in and these bugs break the illusion.

I've heard about the tearing which is a shame. Perhaps they'll get a bug out asap and fix all that so the experience can be enjoyed infull.

petemc · 24-11-2007, 12:39

I hope so. It feels like I'm playing on a PC and my drivers need updating.

For someone who, for some reason, didn't get on with KOTOR would I get on with Mass Effect? I really want to play it but not 100% sure I'll like it. It's tempting to get it regardless though.

Does anyone have KOTOR I could borrow?
