Did you know that 13% of Mass Effect players play as the default Commander Shepard? Honestly, I can’t fathom not customizing my character.

Mass Effect is a series that started out as a mish-mash of quality. The story is one I consider to be one of the best in all of gaming, but the actual gameplay was very, very…shall I say, poor? Some people might call it average, but whatever the case, it was in desperate need of attention. The More >

Yikes. Huh? What? Yeah, none of those reactions were necessarily positive. EA just wanted to let you know that while you’re playing Battlefield 3, you’re gonna’ have 99 problems, but your “b*tch” won’t be one of them.
