Haven't even heard of it, I thought Bioware was pretty much doing Mass Effect 2. Anyway, sounds interesting.

Ok, took a look, and there's not even any form of DRM (like online activation). So yeah, I guess time to buy.

Ok, looks this is very much made for PC:

And doesn't suffer from the usual console-dumbing-down.

Just placed order on play.com, probably will be finding it in my mailbox when I get back.

And what do you know: I have to wait another 2 weeks for it!!

Ah, if it is as you guys say tough I might have to actually buy the
downloadable pc version too... *grin*

Yeah, so it seems!
The statement made at the end of the article Zarhan
posted really got to me:
"After spending time with both versions of the game,
I don't necessarily regret playing through the PS3 version first.
I still had a damn good time playing. It's just now that I've seen
how the game runs on the PC, I long to see the events of my
first character unfolding with the clarity of that one."

So alltough my wallet is going to cry about it, I think I'll have
to take a look at both.

Why do you have to put all these must have games here? Trying to avoid from buying any new ones but I fail again.

Hahaha!! You sure? It does look a bit fishy... *grin*

Bah, I'm totally hooked tough.
Especially the care that they've taken with the dialogues
between just random npc's.
The mages in the "mage guild" were hillarious! *grin*
