I deleted my first ME save and will have to replay pt 1 before i get 2 , but i'm cool w/ it since it's a great game.

I have it on PC so I am good in that regard.

EA owns Bioware, and I hope they don?t change Bioware?s game quality to one part per year/series, or as many Add-ons as possible strategy to get the biggest volume of sales/series no matter what quality the game has or if it?s finished or not.



Natal will not be more as a nice gimmick and gaining experience in new interface usage (in my opinion).
For a real good game feeling, I think, the current real time video recognition is not developed far enough. The movement has to be conveying one to one without time loses, or a human brain will notice that something is wrong. It?s a bit like the Wii or SIXAXIS, you never feel that you have 100% control of it, because you only get visual feedback. The brain needs physical feedback and if it?s only the feeling that you pushed a button.
When the brain really has internalized a steering/controlling, the brain uses the physical feedback and treads the mouse/keyboard/controller/steering wheel as a part of the human body (like blind people feel their blindman?s stick as their extended arm and not as object), you totally forget that you have something in your hand to control the game.

But with the state of the art technique (Natal, 3D Screens) it would be possible to create a ?Minority Report? like interface witch would be cool to use.

I'll be picking up Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition along with the CE version of the strategy guide on Thursday. It is going to end up costing about $130 after taxes(I hate tax!), but it should be worth it!
