Quick ‘n Dirty Review: Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360)
So, I'm just going to say it: Mass Effect 2 is the best game I've ever played in my life. It's not something I say lightly, as Bioware's latest outing manages to shove its way to the top of a very prestigious ladder littered with top-notch titles like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysey, Half-Life, Flashback, Secret of Mana and many, many more. But, there it is: Mass Effect 2 has managed to make me care for a fictional universe and its inhabitants more than anything else I've ever experienced in my life.
Shepard May Have A Drinking Problem
I don't know what I laughed about more during this exhange: Shepard going from zero to ridiculously drunk in about sixty seconds or the fact that Miranda's in the Men's room. The quiet disapproval on the squad's faces after Shepard wakes up on the Men's room floor is also pretty hilarious. I think right about when you're so drunk, you're laying in piss -- it's time to re-evaluate your life.

I Ran Into This Weird Mass Effect 2 Glitch
The video pretty much explains it all. I was on Daratar, doing the Eclipse Cache mission, when I ran towards a rock and was vaulted into the air. My team (obviously) followed. They're a dedicated bunch!
