MASS EFFECT! I never thought I would get the chance to play this game since I don't own or plan to get a 360 and I don't play games on PC.
I started it today and so far so good. I don't know if I'm out of practice or what but I'm finding it a bit harder then 2 or 3. I have beat 2 and 3 on insanity so I'm not used to dying on normal haha.
Guardians of Middle Earth is possibly the best thing to grace the Playstation Network in AGES! Finally a true console MOBA!!
I cannot stress enough how fantastic this game is and how everyone who owns a PS3 owes it to themselves to at least give it a shot~
