Game Informer Reviews Mass Effect - 9.75

Game Informer's upcoming November issue features something special, an exclusive Mass Effect review for your viewing pleasure. What did the highly anticipated game of the year contender recieve? A 9.75, not too shabby at all. With an opening stating "Not since Star Wars made its theatrical debut in 1977 has there been a universe so full of wonder and awe," Mass Effect looks to tighten your wallet even more on November 20th. Along with Assassin's Creed in late Nov, the month looks to be shaping up nicely for gamers!

New Halo 3 maps on the way...

Says Frankie:
"Work is progressing on new maps for future downloadable content, with the design and art teams vigorously engaged in the process. More entertainingly however, the ad-hoc test team of Bungie staff is enjoying these new maps greatly. My favorites are what I have already nicknamed Jodrell Bank and Moonbase Alpha.

I “invented” a game type on Jodrell Bank which is actually just Team Slayer with Swords and Snipers. Thanks to some unique geographical features of that map, it works great. Moonbase Alpha, on the other hand is best suited to objective games, like CTF and Assault, but it has some natural deadlocks that make Slayer interesting and Infection terrifying.

Which reminds me of one more downloadable map. The scariest map of all time. Dark, frightening and surprisingly enormous. One of the scariest things that has ever happened to me (and this in a lifetime fraught with terror) was racing away from a marauding gang of zombies in Infection atop a Mongoose, only to have one leap out of the darkness ahead and unseat me with a throaty scream. I call that level John Carpenter’s Prince of Dorkness. It’s not as catchy as Jub Jub, but it’s every bit as accurate."
