Quote from Roland Deschain : I did every single loyalty mission but SPOILER TAG FAIL AHEAD: half my team died at the final mission. I had a save point prior the final mission and kept trying different strategies and different people would die.I was surprised to find i was somewhat emotionally invested in some of my team members and when they died I was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO...ADRIAN!!!!!!!" I must have done something wrong earlier in the game....I probably shouldnt have committed genocide but Ithought it was logically the best thing to do. I mean...what's more ethical...an entire nation of preprogrammed "zombies" or just getting rid of potentially harmful machines that can programmed once again to do harm? I decided to do a second run through of ME2 but then Batman AC and a bunch of other stuff came out. im such a farking noob....how the fark do i do spoiler tags...i've done it before...wtf

slightly old news, but ME3 demo will drop on 2/14. those using a Kinect with their XBOX 360s will be able to try out voice commands.

also, the new character, james vega, will be voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.

Quote from Roland Deschain : thanks man

Same thing happened to me. I didn't feel like going back and figuring out what I did wrong.

lotsa DLC everywhere, and not just for pre-ordering the game.

Pre-Order this [barnesandnoble.com] Art of Mass Effect book from Barnes & Noble and get the Collector's Assault Rifle. Book is roughly $26 and release date is 2/21, so pre-order valid until 2/20.
NOTE: this DLC code is for 360 and PC only // source [barnesandnoble.com]

Mass Effect Action Figures, releasing in April/May, will each contain in-game bonus content exclusive to the North American PC and 360 game versions. Also, the bonus content "are slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multiplayer squad stronger." Available from BigBadToyStore [bigbadtoystore.com] or the Bioware Store [biowarestore.com], each action figure will run for $18-$20 individually. There's eight, including Garrus, LEGION, Mordin, Miranda, Male Shep, Tali, Grunt and Thane. (I'm disappointed there's no FemShep.) source [joystiq.com]

Finally, this is a freebie. Download Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and get two DLC unlocks, including Reckoner Armor and the Chakram Launcher. NOTE: you need to finish the demo and watch the trailer at the end to unlock the launcher. This is for PC/360/PS3. source [joystiq.com]
(adownloading the ME3 demo in February will also net you free DLC for Kingdoms of Amalur)

ME3 Voice Over Cast Reveal [youtube.com]

There's some obvious cast members returning here like Martin Sheen and Seth Green, plus a couple new ones. Jessica Chobot?!

Obviously not all the characters/VO actors were mentioned.

Anyone see where Collector's Edition is still in stock with release day delivery for 360? Amazon is sold out.

Best Buy [bestbuy.com] still seems to have it.

This game is going to be bad-ass... I pre-ordered the CE via. Amazon a while back... didn't find out about the GS exclusive DLC until they were sold out

I touch myself in anticipation

I really loathe EA's marketing department for this crap. They really are the worst at promoting their games.

You mean you didn't like the Dr. Pepper DLC codes?

Bummer I guess I better cancel my Amazon artbook order

Looks like the same reaper assault rifle as Mass Effect 2 collector's edition

Quote from trima : You mean you didn't like the Dr. Pepper DLC codes?

Dr. Pepper at least was opened to everyone or if you know where to look.

The store exclusive are pain in the butt. At least with Deus Ex you are able to purchase the exclusive add-on
