Mass Effect 2 Off To Blockbuster Start, Sells Two Million Units (To Retailers)

It's been impossible to avoid the massive marketing campaign Electronic Arts and BioWare rolled out for the launch of Mass Effect 2, but it appears to be paying off. The two companies announced this morning Mass Effect 2 has already "sold-in" more than two million units. Cue the money hats. "Sold-in" does not mean sold to...

Sessler's Soapbox: Mass Effect 2: Making January Awesome

It's a bit unorthodox for a highly anticipated game to be released in January. We're all used to the deluge of big titles coming out in the holiday shopping season, but what are we supposed to play the rest of the year?

Don't Have A Mass Effect Save? If You're On A PC, That's No Problem

Not everyone played through the original Mass Effect, which is why I spent my Friday afternoon putting together a brief story summary of the game. If you didn't play through Mass Effect, however, that means you don't have a save with personalized decisions for Mass Effect 2. Luckily, there's an option that doesn't involve rushing through the...

Mass Effect 3 Already Rolling Into Pre-Production

We're just a few weeks out from Mass Effect 2, but at CES last week, BioWare was already chatting up plans for the third entry in the currently-proposed Mass Effect trilogy to IGN.

Yes, Even Your Romantic Decisions Carry Over Into Mass Effect 2

BioWare wants you to take decisions seriously in Mass Effect. Even though the relationship building (and eventual sex scenes) were a bit goofy in Mass Effect, they will play into the sequel. Whether you thought about it or not, at a San Francisco hands-on event for Mass Effect 2, BioWare co-founder and CEO Ray Muzyka told me those romances will...

How Mass Effect 2 Determines What Happened In Mass Effect 1 Without A Save

It's likely that many gamers who pick up Mass Effect 2 in January will have played the original Mass Effect and still have a save file on their hard drive. Some of them will choose to import that save, bringing their decisions (and consequences) from Mass Effect into the sequel -- but you don't have to. You can start fresh in Mass Effect 2. But...

Working in the E! and Style Network offices is a daily reminder that us G4 folk are of different stock. We like stories about wizards and aliens and space dragons and what-have-you, while the affairs of the Miley Lohans and Heidi Jonases of this world only register when the police become involved, or when highly inappropriate Photoshops can be...

Why Did BioWare Spoil A Mass Effect 2 Ending At E3? Ray Muzyka Answers

(Note: If you don't want to know anything about Mass Effect 2's story, don't read this). The Mass Effect 2 demonstration at E3 was phenomenally impressive, largely because BioWare decided to not only reveal the player's actions in Mass Effect 2 could result in the death of Shepard and his crew but BioWare showed it, too. Upon reflection,...

Sessler's Soapbox: Delays Are A Good Thing!

By now you're all used to hearing that the game you can't wait to play has been delayed, and the release date is now 3-6 months after when your pre-order says it will be in your grubby little hands. Well last week's Comic Con saw a short list of big video games get the delay treatment, and that's not necessarily a bad thing! Take the time to...
