New Halo Wars trailer
It'll be interesting to see how the plot works in with an RTS, but certainly looks pdc.
Mass Effect (2nd time around)
My wrists are somewhat better, but still not great. I just purchased Dragon 10 so I can keep up with my book, but I haven't had time to open the box up yet and set it up.
Also, I've been strangely in the mood to replay Mass Effect. I just started last night and finished up Eden Prime in about 1.5 hours.
I've changed a few things this time. My character is a woman (more out of curiousity about dialogue than anything) and my class is a Vanguard (a hybrid biotic/warrior). I was sorely tempted to just do soldier again, but I want to see how the combat changes. Plus, I saw what a badass Liara was one I had leveled her up--half the time I just had to potshot the enemies in the room because she had them all in suspended animation even from 50 plus feet away.
I've also cranked up the combat to hard--and boy, what a difference being used to the system makes. Yeah, I died once or twice because health barely regenerates with my character's class at that difficulty level. But there's one part in the Eden Prime mission that took me about 5-6 times to finish, and I got through that on the first try--barely taking any damage.
We'll see if that stays the same, but so far I can see the upgrades already being more useful at this difficult level (one of my previous gripes is that there never seemed to be an urgency to upgrade equipment). I'm constantly tinkering with my party, and I think I'll try using the trio of Shepard (obviously), Ashley, and Kaidan, which gives me pretty much the same balance of soldier, biotic, and biotic/tech as I had last time. But maybe I'll stick Liara in there and see if I can get a lesbian love scene out of it (the Asari are technically a-sexual), just for kicks.
