Sorry about the title, it just came to me and I couldn’t resist.

Anyway, Game Informer got an exclusive early review on the highly anticipated action/adventure/RPG game Mass Effect. Score one for old school printed publications. In their review they rave about pretty much everything this game offers, from the epic, compelling story to the expansive, gorgeous, and deep universe. Ben of Game Informer said, the game has

“the richly detailed environments of Gear of War, the deep exploration of Oblivion, and a fictional universe almost as compelling as Star Wars.”

They gave the game an overall score of 9.75 (same score they gave Halo 3 and The Orange Box), Noting that the graphics, sound, and replay value were all top notch. The only real complaint they had was with some of the combat balancing. Saying some combinations of weapons and “force” like powers were almost too powerful, making some enemies and battles too easy. That said, the game will still last you between 18 and 30 hours.

Thanks to Game Informer for the early heads up. I was already looking forward to this one, now can’t wait. The game comes out exclusively for Xbox 360 on November 20th.

Boom!

Star Wars fanboys have something new to buy. Sony has just release it’s new Darth Vader themed PSP. If you’re thinking of waiting on this, think again, it’s a limited edition unit. I comes as part of a $199 bundle, and only in a the bundle, which includes the new Star Wars Battlefront game, Renegade Squadron.

Boom!

This maybe the coolest thing i’ve ever seen.  A life sized X-wing.  Its 21 feet long with a 19 foot wingspan.  On Oct 10 they are gonna launch this baby to a galaxy far far away!!!  It will be launched like a normal model rocket but……….. wait for it………….. it has a motor on it that will make the wings go into attack position.  They are hoping to be able to recover this thing after it lands softly thanks to 4 parachutes.  Can’t wait to see the videos from this.

OMG never mind don’t strap me to this. What a sad ending to such an amazing feat of Star Wars geekyness.
