So I spent the last week playing Dark Void, because I'm reviewing it for Gamer Limit, and let me just warn you all NOT to play it. It would truly be a complete waste of your money. It's got some really interesting ideas, but has extremely poor execution, disgusting graphics, major sound issues, and a story that was written my a 5th grader. If you need a more in-depth explanation for why I disliked the game so much, you can read my review which should be posted in 24 to 48 hours. Trust me though, it sucks!

Now that I'm done with Dark Void, I can dedicate the next couple weeks to playing my most anticipated game of 2010, MASS EFFECT 2. You know it's kind of sad that the game I'm most looking forward to this year comes out only 3 weeks into it. That kind of makes the rest of the year seem like a huge let down now that I think of it. Oh well, it won't matter. If all the reviews I've read are correct, I'll probably end up replaying this game 2 or 3 times over the course of the year. I can't wait.

So I need to know if anyone else is as excited about Mass Effect 2 as I am. Anyone at all? I'm actually thinking about going to GameStop at midnight to pick it up and just staying up all night until I fall asleep with my controller in my hand. Sucks that I have to be at work the next day at 8AM, but it would be worth it.

Well enough about me going ga ga over Mass Effect 2. GO BUY IT! Time for your regularly scheduled weekend cblog recaps.

So does that mean you have a copy of Dark Void you don't want? As someone who enjoys third person shooters, including Bionic Commando, I would give it a shot. I don't know if I'll buy it though.

I bought Bionic Commando. I felt so bad for those guys, I had to. It was twenty dollars and I just felt so sad about what happened. The game was actually fun for me.

Also, no not cocks, but I really was trying to rush out a new article before you posted this. :*( I wanted to have a new blog everyday and now I'm all sad and bothered. Because obviously (to everyone except me) posting more than one makes everyone something something.

Thats too bad about Dark Void. I'll still pick it up when it hits bargin bins. The rocketeer fan in me won't allow me to miss this game.

What exactly does "disgusting graphics" entail, exactly? I played the demo and the graphics were serviceable. Describing the graphics as such seems like something about them insulted you in some way, Shawn.

Why not use the ol' standby that most reviewers use when they want to shit on a game and say "the graphics are sub par and barely PS2 or N64 quality", lol.

... yeah I do seem to luck into interesting blog titles! (what else could that one have been called! LOL!)
Thanks for the recaps... and thanks for the warning on Dark Void. I liked the flying in the demo but suspected that the story sucked (about as much as the A.I. did!)
