As a passionate lover of the Mass Effect Universe, I will try my best to keep this review short and sweet. Easier said than done but I will do it damn it, so help me! Anyway, Mass Effect 2 takes up where the original Mass Effect left off and sends Commander Shepard into a new adventure with a new crew and a new boss calling the shots. Of all the great enhancements, fixes and changes made to the game engine, graphics and playstyle, my absolute favorite... 

Tali’Zorah nar Rayya – The Veiled Beauty Although she is not a love interest in Mass Effect, Tali’Zorah na Rayya gets an honorable mention due to the deep chemistry she develops with Commander Shepard. She too is rescued by the Commander and turns out to be somewhat of a princess from the Quarian race. A mechanical gearhead of sorts, Tali, like most of her people, is a genius when it comes to keeping a ship running. Upon entering the Normandy... 

I am really impressed with Bioware, I mean really, really impressed. Not because they make memorable, replayable role playing games but  because their team gets it. While other companies still buy into the stereotype that only immature, perverted boys play videogames, Bioware makes their characters realistic, even anatomically and it has made for an acceptance that even your non gameplaying girlfriend can appreciate.

Their length of life and curiosity with experimentation has led to nasty rumors of promiscuity and relative ease in having sex with them. When Shepard lands... 

Ashley Madeline Williams – The Jarhead Remember Helena Vasquez from Ridley Scott’s Aliens? Well maybe not, but I am sure you remember Trudy Chacon, the tough as nails pilot on James Cameron’s Avatar? Well in terms of action, this is Ashley but there is something more to her than being a die-hard Space Marine. Ashley is the most complex character in Mass Effect and her relationship with Shepard starts after being rescued (she is... 

Bioware has done it again, keeping in tune with their reputation as great storytellers and game makers. Dragon Age Origins easily stole hours away from my life from initial purchase till finishing credits. Craving the world of Ferelden, my love for the sorceress Morrigan and the quest, made me steal precious hours away from my busy life in order to push my character along. Dragon Age is a tale of a Blight (host of demons) being unleashed upon the...
