Have you ever bought a game KNOWING it was a bad game?

I just picked up "Viking: Battle of Asgard" for the 360. I had played the demo on XBox Live, so I knew it was basically a hackfest/fetch the item type game. Of course, finding it on sale new for $19.99 pretty much told me everything I wanted to know about how good it was going to be.

When I looked it up on Gamespot, they gave it 5.0 out of 10. Ouch. Well, I'm going into it with my eyes open.

If you're a Mass Effect fan and you haven't purchased the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC on XBox Live, I encourage you to do so. It's a nice little side mission and a great addition to the game.

I'm playing through again as a female redheaded Renegade soldier, and the big moral choice in the mission is actually a fairly tough choice.

I finished "Mass Effect" last night. What a great game. I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but the gameplay really struck a nice balance between shoot 'em up and advancing the narrative. I like the voice work, too.

I was sadly disappointed to find that I couldn't string both love interests along indefinitely. A game that will let you shoot someone in the face to avoid bringing them back for trial ought to let you make time with two beautiful women. Guess you don't get 'Renegade' points for being a heel.
