Mass Effect
With the release of Mass Effect 2 I thought I should try and finish Mass Effect. I decided to buy the game on Steam and was quite impressed to discover that it could find my retail saves and load them. Rather than the rather generic Cpt. Shepherd my character is female, red hair, green eyes and a hip-hop shaved eyebrow that always makes me laugh in the closeups.
I hadn’t got very far through the game at it turns out. Still mimbling around the Citadel. The game actually sucked me in when I discovered that actually I could freely fly round space and investigate things. I was pleasantly surprised; I had been expecting a Knights of the Old Republic style experience.
Driving around planets in the buggy was also quite entertaining although frustrating as the exit vehicle button doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere (it’s Q on my machine).
