Have you become attached to the characters in Mass Effect? Couldn’t hold back the desire to continue the story alongside them? Me either.
While eagerly awaiting Mass Effect 2 thoughts came to the mind of many fans: “will they return?” or “maybe they will be replaced with others for the sake of the story?”.

So, last night I booted up Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic on the PS3 to get some quick action-figure-action on. In doing so, I was prompted to update the game to version 1.01. Now, this update had to be very recently distributed for download, as I played the game the day before.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Houshmandzadeh is boycotting Madden 10 based on accusation that his in-game player rating is too low. Houshmandzadeh’s rating in the new Madden is 91 out of 100, ranking him 6th best overall.
Houshmandzadeh’s had this to say in an interview with EPSN Radio:
“I understand I averaged 10 yarcds a cath, but it’s the offense, not me. I’m not playing Madden no more until they get my rating right. … I used to be the best in the world at Madden. I’m going to miss not playing it, but until they do me right, I’m not playing it any more.”
Madden 10 will release on August 14 and T.J. will not be camping out for this one. That makes two of us.

Let’s hope that the ‘Lighting Bolt’s’ COD marathons slow him down for the upcoming Berlin Race versus Tyson Gay (I kid… but really, go Tyson!)

Someone on Twitter is apparently posing as Lionhead design guru, Peter Molyneux. The handle is “petermolyneux2″ and currently has over 260 followers. The funny part beyond the mimicking is the tweets themselves. Albeit exaggerated for comical effect, they don’t seem too far fetched from what Peter may actually say on a regular basis. Here’s some of our favorite tweets:
A customized video of the TV commercial for The Bigs 2. Points out a funny contradiction among other things in the ad.
Check out this customized video of the TV spot for The Conduit on the Wii. Funny how marketing can trick us unconsciously!
Wow.
