Mass Effect 3 Leaves Me Angry – A Review (PC)
So I just finished playing through Mass Effect 3 and thought I would write up my thoughts on this last in the first Mass Effect trilogy (not counting the mobile games). I am still decompressing a bit from a very intense gameplay experience, so there will be a lot of stream-of-consciousness typing here. Pardon me in advance. I will start this review by summing up Mass Effect 3 like so: Mass Effect 3 is 40 hours of incredible story, ending with 10 minutes that invalidates the entire experience and will anger you. A lot. I will save the seriously-spoiling details…

EA Purchases PopCap Games
The big news story of the day: Electronic Arts has purchased casual game developer, PopCap Games, for upwards of over a Billion US Dollars, once all is said and done. The initial acquisition price is $650 million plus $100 million stock and a multi-year earn-out. PopCap Games is the maker of such hits as Plants vs. Zombies, Zuma, and Bejeweled.

Alice: Madness Returns Review (PS3)
Many moons ago, the Tim Burton of the video game world American McGee released his version of the popular Carrol novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, simply titled “American McGee’s Alice”. This was not your childhood Alice and instead went into a grimy world, chock-full of mental instability. The original game was a cult hit for its art direction, even though its gameplay fell a bit flat. Fast forward to 2011 and the game’s sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, has hit store shelves. With the main character a little bit older and perhaps a little more insane let’s hop down the rabbit…
