New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Was two better then 3? Do you have to play them in order? Are they RPG?

I personally started out with 2 after it came out and PS3 and then went back to 1 when I got a chance to borrow a 360 for a couple of weeks. ME3 doesn't come out until 3/6/12.

If you get the chance I would recommend playing them in order but in all honesty the first one can get pretty boring at times, plus the graphics make it look a little dated but if you stick with it it's a very satisfying game and even despite it's drops in action at certain points not to hard to get through unlike a game like Fallout.

Second one is easier to get into as it's much more streamlined then the first and it has a very good story.

The game gives you the option to import your character from the previous version or select the choices you made in previous games via a comic that activates before you customize your character.

Another thing I like about it is the difficulty allows people like me who care more about the story to breeze through the combat while giving hardcore players the option to make it challenging.

And the best selling point for Mass Effect......side boob.

I played the first one and felt like it was really hard to target and shoot people; like almost painful to do so

lol I go both ways. :P

I'm with mredskins.

Dirtbag, it's amazing how many dumbasses are allowed to debate things they know nothing about.

Yeah, like a lot of early 360 games the gameplay was unpolished. The second is a lot more streamlined and action oriented.

Is Mass Effect a RPG? I try the first one it was boring and hard to play.

The series has become a nice combination of RPG and 3rd person shooter and the Kinect voice controls are amazing. Finally yelling at my tv has a purpose.

Just bought UFC 3 Undisputed. Haven't gotten a chance to play yet but I'm gonna really open it up tonight.

Also waiting for MLB 12: The Show.

Also waiting on I am Alive, that comes out at the end of March. That trailer though has me excited for what the game is gonna be all about.

The show is on of the best exclusives that always gets forgotten about. You getting I am Alive for PS3 or Xbox? It's crazy that game looks as good as it does and is only an arcade title, but I've already bought my code for it from work so when that comes out on the 7th I'll be ready.

Mass Effect 3 is amazing. Enough said. First midnight release I've been to in a while where the game actually surpassed expectations.

I thought the multiplayer was just gonna feel tacked on but its freaking fun as hell. Already got 12+ hours into the game via both multiplayer and the single player.
