There are a lot more issues with that game beyond a poor ending though.

There's that, the fact that they throw that assassin guy for no reason but to promote their IOS game, Udina betraying all of the citadel for no reason whatsoever, the fact that the people are asking us to help themselves with random problems so I can... save them from the world ending. Yeah, that's the best way to keep yourself alive, pointlessly make the guy that's trying to save you do random work for you and then think about supporting you. Then there's the fact that they send that Rico(That was his name? Your first squad member)character out of no where, the stupid war assets idea that forces you to make specific decisions over the ones you want, or play multiplayer(which not everyone can thanks to Xbox Gold memberships) unless you want an ending where your squad mates die or earth gets screwed over, they literally start hinting at a Joker + EDI... thing going on(and make it ok if you choose synthesis), you only get two new squadmates, one of which sucks, the other is EDI, so you basically get nothing but the squad mates from the first game, and a middle finger if you romanced anybody from the second(I didn't, but that's still an issue).

Yeah, there's a lot more than just an ending, ME2 is still my favorite in the series.

I mentioned Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, right? Lot of fun. Except the minigame things. They get way too hard way too fast. But otherwise the only real problem I have is the lack of save points. Shouldn't a game made for a portable system have a lot of save points? But hey ho, forest for the trees.

Well I finally got past the stupid "summon 3 different bosses in a closed in space, and then make you do it all over again until you beat them all" retarded bit of KH:3D, so I can finally get to playing it without going "oh right, I can't do anything until I get past this thing", so that again.

Thanks to my friend getting a PlayStation 3 free with a new mobile phone contract (with the benefit of a far cheaper contract) I'm now able to expand my game playing options. So far I've played a fair bit of Gran Turismo 5, and will play a lot more of it in the future (I love the series, have played every major version and put hundreds of hours into each). Also giving Heavy Rain a try now.

Currently playing through the English translation of Pendulo's Hollywood Monsters.

It's pretty wacky, and awfully hard. Part of the difficulty is how open the game is. Yeesh.

I'm playing this one, as I never played The Next Big Thing (despite owning it), and I want to play the first before the second (even if The Next Big Thing is both a sequel and a remake)

The game truly won me over as soon as I kicked that damn spoiled brat into the creek. Good times.

Great work at your speeches Dashing. You might say your speeches can be quite dashing .

This game rocks.

There is a reason why i hardly ever post in this thread because i usually just decide what game i'm going to play while i look through my PS3 games but i am going to post the games i think i'm going to play for a while:

Team Fortress 2 PS3 version (The PC version is too laggy)
Uncharted 3
Jak & Daxter trilogy
Ratchet & Clank Trilogy (Replaying for trophies)
Call Of Duty Black Ops (I like playing zombie mode )

Just completed Mass Effect with the "Bring down the Sky" DLC. I started a bit of part 2 just to see what the beginning stats were. Been granted three levels, 330000 credits and 55000 units of each resource.

Still, I could not bring myself to do things much different this second ME run through. It's still a female Shep, she still likes Liara and goes for the ultimate Paragon route. So much for seeing all the new stuff!

There only is FemShep. BroShep is a sick joke.
Also: Liara is the only true love interest. There are no choices in those points. Well maybe there are but they are wrong.

But FemShep doesn't go with Jack!!

Well I really enjoyed playing Heavy Rain, fantastic story. Will be playing through it again soon.

For now I've finally got started playing Gemini Rue and have been loving it. Could hardly stop last night, eventually did after 2am when tiredness got the better of me. I'm not a huge fan of combat sections in adventure games but I've seen it done worse than what it's like here.

Just played The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead. It's the best game in the series so far. I'm really enjoying this season, and I hope that Telltale keeps the two month schedule between releases for future games. It's a whole lot more polished and bug-free, and best of all fun, than the other post-2010 Telltale releases.

Wall-E (it was buried on my rental list but they sent it anyway, alright?). ATM, it's looking at a 6/10.

It's playable, sure, but the camera's a bitch, the level design's not great, there's visual effect problems (one part of the first level got obscured by a nice big light effect until I died, and the sandstorm effect was basically a wall of grey), controls are unrefined and it bears all the hallmarks of a game that needed another week just to polish it off.

I like that you can replay levels though, that's a nice touch.

Well Gemini Rue was great. Now to find something else to play. Have been thinking about replaying the Assassin's Creed series (from the 2nd game onward anyway) to build up for the release of ACIII, but I've also got Rage & Dragon Age: Origins on my to play soon list. Decisions, decisions...
