Oh, So Mass Effect Forces Me To Kill An Innocent Salarian
8.6.2021
As a series, Mass Effect is predicated almost entirely on choice. Paragon or renegade? Red, blue, or green? To bang or not to bang? But Mass Effect occasionally appears to restrict your agency. For instance, at one point in the first game, you’re presented with a series of choices, and no matter...
Knockout City Doesn’t Show Your Overall Stats, Which Is A Bummer
5.6.2021
Last week, Kotaku’s Zack Zweizen and I teamed up for a few rounds of Knockout City. I played fairly well. Zack, on the other hand, crushed it, even ending one match with a jaw-dropping positive-15 KD. Sadly, save for the screenshots we both snapped in shock after the fact, there’s no way...

Many Need For Speed Games Are About To Be Erased From Reality
31.5.2021

Musings Of A Mass Effect 1 Newcomer
28.5.2021
Mass Effect Legendary Edition has given me a chance I missed the first time around. Though I’ve played through the other games of BioWare’s long-running space opera—3, Andromeda, and, years later, 2, in that order—’m tackling the first Mass Effect for the first time ever.Read more
Apex Legends Adds Penalty For Leaving Arena Games Early
25.5.2021
Apex Legends introduced a new 3v3 Arena mode with Season 9 in early May, and I’ve been enjoying it for the handful of times when I’ve been able to play out a full match. Most of the time, a player will bail after a few bad rounds, leaving me at a severe disadvantage or giving me a victory that...

Here's Everything Coming To And Leaving Game Pass Soon
18.5.2021
The back half of May will see a whole bunch of additions to the Game Pass library, anchored by Knockout City. I have lost many, many games of dodgeball IRL, so I’m looking forward to continuing that trend in an interesting-looking game that may or may not fizzle out immediately. Always impossible...
Mass Effect Remake Fixes A Character's Race

For over 13 years, there has been a character in the original Mass Effect who was, well, the wrong race. An oversight the series’ new remasters has finally been able to fix.Read more
How To Get Infinite Paragon/Renegade Points In Mass Effect Legendary Edition
17.5.2021
Playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition has been a nostalgic, and for the most part, pleasant experience. I’ve been making my way through the first remastered game and it’s a faithful recreation of the original Mass Effect, up to and including its archaic dialogue system, which frustratingly locks...
