Mass Effect 2: Arrival Review


           With Mass Effect 3 quickly closing in, Bioware wanted to treat its fans one last time before launch. The Arrival is the final DLC for Mass Effect 2. The goal? Slow down the impending Reaper invasion, arriving in just over 48 hours. It has the making for an action packed thrill ride, however that is not the case. The DLC begins as a rescue mission where Shepard must save the Alliance scientist who came to this stunning revelation. It is a poorly implemented stealth mission. There is no feeling of stealth, it is several rooms and corridors with guards who are conveniently facing away from you and don't hear you sprinting by.

Crysis 2 Review

           
           In 2007, Crytek released their newest feast for the eyes, Crysis. To this day, it's not a true gaming rig unless it can run Crysis. Oh and it was also a pretty good shooter. Now Crytek, having already dominated your eyes, wants to dominate the FPS market. Crysis 2 sets out to be a better shooter than the original in every aspect while still maintaining its visual prowess. It is also the launch of their latest engine, Cry Engine 3, as well as their first foray into consoles. We'll be taking a look at the console version, specificity the PS3 version of the game.

Updates and Begging

Well hello there, fancy meeting you here.
I will have the Crysis 2 review up later today, or at least within the next 24 hour period. You should also be expecting a review for the final piece of Mass Effect 2 DLC, Arrival. As for other reviews, I'm not going to make promises I may...or may not keep. Now, you my viewers, I have a request. If you could find it in your heart of hearts to tell some friends about my little operation here I would greatly appreciate it. The more people visit, the more inclined I will be to keep content flowing. After seeing how unviewed the new 10 Minutes With videos have been, it's hard to want to keep putting up new stuff. After Crysis 2 and Arrival, I can't guarantee much. If you have and questions, comments, concerns, or hell, even complaints, send an e-mail to operationzeroblog.com@gmail.com. Yes I realize there are 2 .com's involved, but it's kinda catchy and operationzeroblog was taken already. I may have done it before, but I don't know. Well that's all for now. Keep it here!

Mass Effect 2 Review (PS3)

            
           The Mass Effect franchise has been praised for its prefect blend of action and RPG elements as well as its excellent story. Many Playstation fans have missed out on the series thus far, but no longer. EA and Bioware have finally brought Mass Effect 2 to the PS3, including all of its previously released downloadable content. Rather than get into each and every bit of content, this review will focus on the package as a whole, and let me tell you, it’s one hell of a package.
