    Tell me about it, I've only played about an hour of Mario Galaxy because Call of Duty 4 is sucking up my time. And now you're telling me Mass Effect is coming out Tuesday?..........

    It's a paradox, great games coming out now is great, but it is horrible that they are coming out....now. All at the same time.

    Somewhat hate to tell you, but Kane and Lynch is not looking very good. The reviews I have heard about it say that the targetting system is pretty bad among other problems. On the other side of that, the "Heist" mode looks highly intriguing and fun. We will see as a few more reviews start rolling out about it.

    Heard that the co-op mode is quite fun, but that the game does seem a little rushed...thats just sad...

    This game has me drooling. I just got my 360 last friday. I also bought Gears of War Guitar heroes 1 & 2, and last night Assassins Creed.

    Because of me going out of control already with the gaming budget I'll have to wait a little bit to get this game though.

    Oddly enough this is probably the one I'm most excited about, but I went for the instant gratification rather than wait on this game. Now I'll have to wait even longer on this game.

    Can you just go explore in Mass effect anywhere kind of like an open-world RPG?

    Not yet, but Im not that far in.

    OK, guys...I could post the pics I just took, but it wouldnt do the game justice because apparently my digital camera isnt as good as I thought it was. Cant get a single picture not to come out blurry or dark. If anyone has any tips (other than buying a new camera), feel free.

    Otherwise, Im just going to have to get you to take my word for it that the graphics are gorgeous.

    I am glad someone started a thread on this game I was about to if one was not created already. It is the best game coming out this year IMO. Anyone that likes RPG games need to pick this game up.

    Some early review scores

    Game Informer- 9.75
    OXM- 10/10
    EGM- 9/9/9.5

    I have had this game reserved for a long time and I cannot wait untill Tuesday.

    i havnt made up my mind about this game. i was looking forward to it when i 1st found about it and then i saw the gameplay and changed my mind for some reason. i never thought it could be like knight of the old republic but that one statement might turn me back the other way. i loved those games...

    :confused:
    ;)

    I want to hear more about this game...Im getting screwed with all these games getting released.

    If you guys had to get one, which would it be: Assassins Creed or Mass Effect.

    Since finals are coming up, nows not a good time for me to get another game, so I will get one in about 3 weeks...and then get the other some time later. Any opinions?

    i've watched some mass effect demos and it looks like the action is consistently interrupted by menus. it just looks tedious and boring. is that a feature of the genre that some people just like, or am i just wrong?

    Umm, not yet. But I have heard that the game was banned in some country overseas because of a female on female sex scene. Dont know the validity of that yet...

    Guess it really depends what kind of game you like. These two really arent in the same genre. Myself, I would go with Mass Effect. It will probaly last you longer and I imagine the replay value is pretty strong being that the story changes wheter you decide to be a good little military boy or a renegade (Much like Light and darkside on Knights of the old Republic).

    But in its defense, I havent really played but about 3 hours into Assassins Creed.

    Its an option to do it that way. I dont. You can queue up all your teams combat moves, or just give them commands like flank left or right, fall back, advance, etc. without going into a menu.

    The sucky part is that I'm going to get it tomorrow after work...but then on Wednesday I have to leave it at home and make my way to Houston to partake in family/thanksgiving activities! Two days without Mass Effect! Torture!
