Mass Effect 3, Fall of Earth, Trailer



Here is an awesome trailer for the end of my favorite game series, Mass Effect! - Mass Effect 3 is about stopping the invasion of the terrible race called the Reapers: strange robotic/organic beings that have come to wipe out all sentient life, repeating an ancient cycle started long ago.

This trailer is called Fall of Earth because the Reapers have finally started their full invasion; the Reapers have reached Earth and commander Shepard, the main character (whom you create yourself - male or female), has to stop them before they can kill everyone in the known galaxy!

Shooting and fighting in general looks like a super-improved version of Mass Effect 2, but it still seems about the same in a lot of ways; there are some new additions to the system, but they aren't that big: a new heavy class, a few new powers, etc. Still, the trailer is awesome and the game is sure to be better than anything imaginable!

360 update causes discs to not work - PS3s update causes overheating



Microsoft's Xbox 360 recently had some troubles that caused retail discs to not work in some Xbox 360s and Sony's recent update seems to be causing overheating for people's consoles. Sony is, of course, having the worst time of all (because they're having way more troubles, like with their network, the natural disasters, etc...), but it's surprising to see 360 have an error like this at the same time.

I guess just don't update your systems for a while, until they've patched out these strange errors; Microsoft says to contact them if your 360 doesn't read discs after the update.

NGP - Sony's next portable system that's comparable to a PS3 - Not affected by quake?!



Sony originally thought that the NGP - the PSP2, if you will - would be affected by the earthquake in Japan, but it seems as if they may have been wrong. They think it will make it out on time, after all, I guess. This is probably going to be the first portable system I'll buy since the Gameboy Advance... LOL!

Tokyo Game Show - Unaffected by Earthquake in Japan! :D



The Earthquake caused a lot of problems for Japan - including tsunamis, nuclear reactor problems, tons of damage and many problems with Japanese companies and their affiliates - however, it won't be a problem for the Tokyo Game Show!

This is a good thing - the Japanese game industry has suffered slightly from the quake, but now this will help bring it back up! I think, anyway..
