Gaming: Mass Effect 2 dated

One of the most anticipated PC games of next year has finally been dated by Bioware. Mass Effect 2 will be coming out in North America on the 26th of January 2010. Europe will be getting it 3 days later (29th). Hopefully, it reaches the shores of my country somewhere in between that. I can't wait to play Mass Effect 2, continuing the adventures of Shepard from Mass Effect 1. Hopefully, Dragon Age will keep me entertained until then.

Blurb: Mass Effect: Redemption comic by Dark Horse

So apparently as part of their marketing for their next installment into the Mass Effect Universe, Dark Horse is making a comic to prepare players for Mass Effect 2. So they have a preview up, which you can check it out >HERE<.

I read the seven page preview and it looks nice. I think the art goes well with the sci fi type of visuals that is needed from the Mass Effect universe. Question is, will I buy it? The game, a definite yes but the comic ... I'll think about it.

Mass Effect BDtS is out and Space Siege demo is out!

Mass Effect on PC fans can rejoice because the Bring Down the Sky downloadable content is out with the latest patch. So be sure to log on to the main website >HERE< and get your download on. However, judging from the massE PC forums, there is a particular problem that have cropped up. The lava textures on the planet of Therum seems to be missing and a Bioware spokesperson has replied on a fix. All you have to do is go into the config tool and use the 'repair' section and select the "Delete Local Shader Cache Files". That should fix it automatically.

Space Siege which is the spiritual successor to Dungeon Siege will be released next month and the demo is out! The demo weighs around 900++mb and will give you a taste on what the game is about. You can grab it >HERE<. If you ran into some loopy resolution problem with the demo, inputting this line "fullscreen=false" into one of the ini files (I am assuming) would fix it.
