A couple of days ago, Mass Effect 3’s “From Ashes” DLC was leaked via XBLA. Obviously, BioWare wasn’t prepared for such a leak and after a few days, the company decided to clarify why it was not included in the main game and reveal some more details about it. The content in From Ashes was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification. And that’s why the content was not included in the main game. Continue reading Mass Effect 3: From Ashes DLC Detailed; screenshots and video coming in the following days→
BioWare has launched an alternative reality game (ARG) for Mass Effect 3. UK Citizens are asked to sign-up a petition in order to force the government to release information about UFOs and extra-terrestrial life. The petition asks for 10K sign-ups, so our guess is that once this number is achieved, we’ll move on to the second phase of this ARG. It’s interesting to say the least and we’d encourage you to sign it. Can’t blame us for loving ARGs, can you?

This week, Crysis 2 modders have been experimenting with various TOD’s and as we can see below, they came up with some interesting shots. One of them looks simply amazing and that’s from modder chicken. Crysis has never looked as good as this and proves the difference that a polished TOD can make.

A lot of PC gamers were disappointed with the visuals of Mass Effect 3’s demo. Although there were lots of cool effects, the game’s textures were really low-res. As you’d expect, a lot of them expressed their feelings to both BioWare and Electronic Arts. And we are happy to report that BioWare will include higher-resolution textures in the full version of Mass Effect 3 PC. Continue reading Mass Effect 3 PC – full version will feature higher-resolution textures than those of its demo→

There was a rumor, early last month, that the next big patch for Battlefield 3 would be hitting platforms in February. Among other things, this rumored patch would include in the PC version a Commo Rose 2.0, that is currently in development by DICE. Well, unfortunately the rumors were not true, as Daniel Matros has revealed that the patch won’t be coming this month. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – Next Major Patch won’t be coming in February→
Remember when everyone was jumping around – prior to Battlefield 3’s release – due to the fact that Commo Rose would be included in it? Oh the joy. Fast forward some months though and we can clearly see that Commo Rose is broken. Not only that, but it seems that it is there only for the sake of being there. In other words, Commo Rose is there in order to satisfy some old fans, and while it does that, it just isn’t useful in its current form. All this could very well change though, as DICE is working on an improved version of it. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – DICE is working on an improved version of Commo Rose→
