Two games with 'ass' in the title? Coincidence?

'A new medical term was coined today. MEE, or better known as "Mass Effect Erection".'

~~*Spoiler Free!*~~

I rented Mass Effect yesterday after returning Assassin's Creed. To be honest I hadn't been following the progress of the game at all aside from that I knew there was a lot of hype surrounding it. I actually didn't even know it was a Role Playing Game. I Originally thought it was going to be just another cookie cutter First Person Shooter with shiny graphics. It is soooo much more than that though, and I am thankful it is.

Initial Impressions:
The game so far is amazing. It's more in depth than any game I can recall playing to date. This is one of those games that makes you forget that you are playing a game and completely immerses you in the universe. Something like this I was expecting from games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion but it didn't quite deliver like this game. There is so much attention to detail that has been paid to the universe. With the game is a Codex that logs all information about the universe that you discover. As you play the game and find new sources of information your Codex grows. It's kind of like the Mass Effect 'Wiki'. The amount of information that gets stored in it is kind of overwhelming. Not everyone will pay attention to this or even look at it, but I have read every entry and love it. Bioware has painstakingly put a lot of effort into this feature and in my opinion at least deserves a quick glance over.

Well I'm going to head back into the game now.

So you're playing more games, which is cool and all. But what ever happened to the updates on you and the Wii fitness thing?

Well the answer to that is really simple... I appear to have misplaced my brain. I actually forgot about that :S I'll try and get it started up again for my next post.
