Mass Effect 2 Complete

kek | February 15, 2010

I just finished Mass Effect 2.  All I have to say is “Wow…”  The only other game in recent memory that made me sad when it ended was Uncharted 2.  Sequels get really bad reputations, but Mass Effect 2 took the great parts of the original such as engaging story, deep characters, and interesting plot twists to keep the players happy and engrossed while taking Shepard from death to impending doom.

Where to get Halo 3: ODST without paying full price

kek | September 22, 2009

Video game software sales must be hurting if retail stores are willing to offer these deals.  Below are the top two deals.  Thanks to slickdeals and CAG on consolidating.

Toys R Us, in stores only, has the game + $20 gift card + action figure for $60.
