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...
Knockout City Is Actually Pretty Damn Fun
24.5.2021
Dodgeball sucks. I recall, during some school recess years ago, getting beaned in the face with a dodgeball. Blood, everywhere.

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.

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...
BioWare Sounds Open To Restoring Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer In Legendary Edition
17.5.2021
When it was announced last year that the original Mass Effect trilogy would get a proper remaster, it was mostly good news. However, EA and BioWare sadly explained that the new release would omit Mass Effect 3’s co-op multiplayer mode. Now, Legendary Edition’s project director, Mac Walters, says...
New Mass Effect Changes Tali's Face
17.5.2021
It wasn’t the biggest of Mass Effect 3's missteps, so you’d be forgiven for having forgotten all about it, but BioWare’s trilogy did us all dirty when it spent 2.9 games building up the mystery of what Tali the Quarian looked like only to reveal...she looked like stock art of a sexy human...

Don’t Worry, You Can Still Make-o The Mako Horrible In Mass Effect Legendary Edition
7.5.2021
If there’s one universal truth about the original Mass Effect, it’s that the Mako is the worst. Or the best? I don’t know, I’ve never played the first Mass Effect, so I will think whatever you want me to think—which puts me in lockstep with developer BioWare. In the upcoming remaster, you’ll...
