I put up a post a bit ago about some of the things we can expect from ME3: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.299335-10-Must-Know-facts-for-Mass-Effect-3#11891902 Some may ruin, some may not? But your "benevolent Reapers" made me laugh.

Not terribly spoilerific, but they'll be addressing things that you won't really have a context for until you at least start Mass Effect 2...

If you're like me, you don't necessarily grab up novels and comics set in the universe of a game franchise that you like. More often than not, they come across like bad fan-fic or needlessly explain away things you loved in the games. And they rarely tie in with the actual continuity of a...

I, too, am a house-arranging pack rat in Bethesda games who has lost hours to making sure THIS sword goes just so on the shelf and THAT helmet is properly displayed amongst the others...glad to know I'm not alone in wanting that mechanic to be tweaked a little.

If a movie is so bad the reviewer walks out, that's certainly a review. Same for a game. A game that isn't sufficiently interesting or compelling to make someone want to play it has only itself (and its dev team) to blame. I think it's fair to expect a reviewer to give a game enough of a...

The game could completely suck, it's true, but piles of win to the parties involved in the trailer. As a stand-alone short piece, it's pretty spectacular.

I couldn't believe that yesterday was the first I'd heard of this game. I love the idea of zombie survival in a sandbox; warms my heart. Regardless of how good the game itself is, this may be the best trailer I've seen in a long time, certainly for a game. The complex and emotional...

In games where you can design your character, I usually start with one that looks like me. On my next playthrough, assuming the game warrants a second go, I usually make a character that is as exactly unlike me as the first one was my twin. Being a white man, my opposite usually ends up...

Rats - in trying to figure out who was pictured after Johnny 5 (who IS that, by the by?), I stumbled across a clue that solved the puzzle for me. Still, an amazing adventure, and hats off to the devious minds behind it! Also (except for today's dead giveaway), many thanks to everyone for...

What gives with 4-2? I think I have the final location correct (I had a meltdown getting there), but now I can't track down the associated game title. Google makes it seem pretty obvious, but when I enter it, I'm wrong. Am I missing something? EDIT: NVM, I got it. Silly of me to try...

There are 2 different Matalas in Angola - go for the southern one, not the northern one (near Bicuar National Park)

Jebus. Today's was hard. Got 1 right off the bat and thought it was gonna be easier! Could not have succeeded without helpful nudging from this thread. Hats off to the designers and the clever brains that unravel their mysteries!

1,3, and 5 made sense to me, but 2 and 4 took some tiiiiiiime. And facepalms.

We all complain about the prices of things when we have the luxury of some degree of disposable income. A better use of our time might be to be grateful that we can afford to have high-end electronics for leisure purposes and don't have to worry about, say, if we're going to eat this week or...
