While the return to Omega was a nice trip down memory lane, I found the relative length and mediocrity of this DLC “Omega” to be a bit disappointing. For the fans of Mass Effect lore and those who liked the gangster queen Aria T’Loak in ME2 – getting an entire DLC to spend some one on one with the Asari badass is beyond appealing. After all Aria disallows any of your crew to join you on her trip to usurp Omega’s... 

Hmm so when it starts I think to myself “cool” because the lead appears to be a black woman (which based on our gallery is the rarest form of video game character to date) but then she started talking, and grimacing, and pouting and she became instantly unattractive. This is fine – the leading lady doesn’t have to have Lara Croft’s charisma… maybe the game itself will make me want to know more about her… Then... 

As we know, movie studios love to take liberties with our comic book stories in order to make them palatable. We’ve seen the hack job they did with the X-Men, we’ve laughed at the Fantastic Four, and we have seen the worst of the worst in Daredevil and Elektra. To say that fans were fed up with the failures is an understatement and as gamers we know all too well what it means to see a story you love get changed into ruin on... 

Resident Evil Afterlife picks up where the last one ended with Alice taking the fight to the Umbrella Corporation, complete with her newly discovered Jedi powers. I will admit that I only went to see this movie to see the big zombie’s axe spiral at me in threeeeeee deeeeeee but by the time the credits came up at the end I was actually excited for the next installment. Here’s the thing gamers, for those of you who have played... 

Dear EIDOS, it has come to my attention that you have not yet given up your quest to push Lara on the gaming community as an action hero and not just some pinup idol. I am probably one of Tomb Raider’s biggest fans and have waited patiently for 7+ games for you to match the experience of the first two installments. I have become a loyalist to the hot pants and tight tube top… I actually enjoyed Tomb Raider Underground... 

Do you remember Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7? Of course you do, after-all she was the original Final Fantasy “girlfriend” way before Rinoa, Garnet and Yuna. For you gamers who are clueless to who the suspender wearing femme fatale is, well she was the partner and love interest to Cloud Strife in Squaresoft’s most famous Final Fantasy game. Tifa used her hands and feet brawler-style to thwart her enemies instead... 

Mai Shiranui of Fatal Fury fame is one of the original fighting game femmes to impact the genre. Normally put up against Capcom’s heroine Chun-Li in many pictures, Mai’s moves are dramatically different as she relies on quick attacks and projectiles instead of the leg barrage that Chun wields. Mai is descended from her grandfather – master Ninja Hanzou Shiranui, and she is madly in love with Hanzou’s top...
