[THUNDERDUCK]

Playin' Overlord.  Using Legion and Kasumi in my team

[Tuffty]

I haven't even got all the characters yet, only started the mission to acquire Thane, but my current line up is Mordin (cause I want that achievement to incinerate so many people's armor, I thought my incinerate ammo was sufficient) and Jack (again, to do that achievement where you combine biotic powers on enemies). Though I keep rotating the party around to keep it fresh. Does anyone use Jacob? Seems like me and him are bros for life as he keeps giving me a hug and we have nothing else to talk about so I tend not to use him. I want to use Grunt and Garrus though. I think I should get Tali and Garrus onto the Citadel and reminisce.

Also I thought Liara's voice sounded familar so I looked it up, and sure enough I was right. The same voice actress does the voice for Lightning in FFXIII.

After completing the game, I discovered you can call Miranda to your quarters for a make out session.  There's an intercom next to your pc in your office.  I usually have her sit on my lap on the couch or do some snuggling on the bed.

Seems like F11 worked for screencaps ^___^

Here's my fierce Spectre Lucy Shepard:



With her royal hooked nose!

I also finally got Liara

Review: Mass Effect 2 DLC: Overlord

When your entire game builds to a final, bombastic mission as in Mass Effect 2, it's hard for any downloadable content set after that point to not feel like an afterthought, and that's certainly true of the "Overlord" DLC from a structural standpoint. But when even your afterthoughts pack more fun and emotional resonance into a couple of hours than many games manage in their entirety, who's complaining?
When Commander Shepard and his crew were first called in to investigate a powerful virtual intelligence that had gone rogue, I was worried that "Overlord" would suffer from the same tacked-on feeling as did its predecessor, "Kasumi's Stolen Memory." Maybe you didn't hear, but I recently saved the galaxy -- why am I suddenly thrust into the role of interstellar IT guy?

I needn't have worried. While "Overlord" has little bearing on the whole of ME2, it's far more self-contained than "Kasumi," with its own arc and own emotional wallop. It's a fitting end to a game head-and-shoulders-and-most-of-torso above others in its class in terms of storytelling.

Sadly, this is the last Mass Effect 2 DLC, but BIoWare has taken the opportunity to throw a little bit of everything in and see what sticks. Want full-bore action? You got it. Want to solve tile-shifting floor puzzles? No problem. Want to do some light vehicle-based platforming? Well, you probably didn't know you wanted to do that, but it's here nonetheless. You won't be bored, let's put it that way.

Overlord doesn't jam new characters into your game or add a load of new weapons, but it more than makes up for that with a haunting little story of family, betrayal and sacrifice. Note to other game developers: If you're able to pack that into two hours, you'll always have my seven bucks.

OK I took some really crappy web cam shots of my dudes. 

First is MacGyver Shepard
-level 30
-Sentinel
-Weapon of choice- Pistols/M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon
-Does what he wants, gets the job done
-Tried to make him as rugged as possible

(enjoying some downtime)


Next up codename S.N.S.D. Shepard

A ME game for the iPod, iPad, and iPod Touch

[Yuna]

I played Overlord this weekend and I gotta say it is indeed a blast!
In every review they were saying the ending was this and that, and it sure is surprising!

Now I'm in the ME2 mood all over again, I'll probably play it again with a female Sheppard.

BioWare has released a new downloadable content pack for role-playing shooter Mass Effect 2.

The Aegis Pack includes the M-29 Incisor sniper rifle, described as a burst-fire weapon that excels in destroying enemy shields, and the Kestrel armour set, which comes in five pieces.

Once downloaded, the pack will land in Shepard's armour locker, and will cost you 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and 160 BioWare Points on PC.

Broke down during the Steam sale and bought ME2. Been playing pretty much non-stop. The combat took a whole lot of getting used to, especially after it was so ez-mode in ME. I rolled a vanguard at first, but it was so bad that I decided to import my ME Shepard and continue with her as an Infiltrator. It's so much better playing with her again. I've become so attached.

[Tuffty]

Oh ME2 just got all kinds of awesome!!

*SPOILERS*

Just reached the abandoned Collector ship. Suitably creepy. And then the revelation! Collectors are Protheans Well, about 1/8th Prothean but still. And then the possibility they could be attacking Earth! The trap! Hearing the Illusive Man might have known it was a trap! Holy shit it gets more intense! Had to quit there as I was heading out but can't wait to get back to where I left off.

And best of all, the option to upgrade your character is such a great move. As a Vanguard I always wondered what it would be like to play with the Sniper Rifle or Assault Rifle and now I had my chance. I chose Sniper Rifle training in the end as my Tempest SMG is pretty much like an AR anyway. And the shotgun doesn't mean much to me. Not if I have Grunt in the squad. Plus I like to snipe fools from a distance.
