Review - Mass Effect 3
The Good
+ It's Mass Effect
+ Best gameplay of the series
+ A startling and powerful conclusion to the series
The Bad
- Lots of controversy around the ending
- Lack of Jack Wall composing the score
Spoiler Danger
Very Little

A Welcome Home of Sorts
So yeah, hi! Long time no see and all of that.
Yet again, I'd like to try to get on board with the writing piece of my life, and this blog certainly needs to be a central part of that. New year's resolution this year... write more.
Sound like the same old song and dance as last year? Yeah, it sure is. But, this year will be different! I know it!
Despite the fact that I write for a living, I do so on a technical level, and, frankly, that part of my job is slowly being phased out. Now I'm excited when I sit down to write an email that will be longer than two paragraphs. Clearly, the writing aspect of my life is lacking, and that is especially true of the right brained portion.
So, this year will be different, this year will be one of actually making updates. I'm not going to set any goals for myself as far as posts per day or week or month - I just don't have that kind of time in my life right now. I do know that I want to update this regularly, and to have some interesting content for people to look at, even if that happens to be me venting about work in vague, obtuse phrasing or waxing philosophical about this, that, or the other thing. I hope you'll enjoy the ride.
First up, a review, and actual review of Mass Effect 3. One thing that I constantly regret about the game and my handling of it on this blog is the fact that the only thing on here is me complaining about the ending. Well, I have many more opinions about the game than just that complaining, and the game has come an incredible distance since then, so I'd like to give my overall opinion.
That and more coming up sometime soon. See you then!
