Review: Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360)
After the mega-masterpiece reviewed by me and played a few months ago, I was back in front of another must have ... and after 18 hours of gameplay (I have not completed do not worry .. this chapter is waaay too long to finish).
The story and gameplay
The story follows two years after saving the galaxy from Raziatori .. Sheppard is our trust in his ship suddenly attacked and destroyed .. Sheppard seems doomed, and in fact die but ... Cerberus is saved by the organization (the one we fought in some side-quests in the first chapter), rather than save is "reconstructed".
Sheppard is now in a situation somewhat ambiguous employed by Cerberus, still Spectrum assets and a "friend" of the Alliance ... in this triangle "love" will have to face a new menace that threatens to wipe humanity off the face of the universe ..
I do not want to reveal anything about the plot percu pass directly to the characteristics of the game: Most of the gameplay has been redesigned with many new and I would say.
weapons with ammunition were brought over, and this leads us to better manage our fights. Weapons, powers, do not buy more equipment but you have to "search" in the lab, we now can be customized to suit different parts (legs, chest, arms, helmet).
This personalization system However, the main character stops and does not extend to their companions for which we will just prepare his weapons.
The different skills are numerically inferior to the first Mass Effect, but their system of play is better calibrated.
In general, it found the old powers plus some new ones.
In terms of classes, everything remained the same and for those who played on the Xbox in the first chapter you can re-import your character.
This does not mean that we share with the old level (in fact reset of it all over again) but you gain some skills from the beginning. Besides the fact that the story of the second chapter is partly influenced by as we have played the previous year.
In this Mass Effect DLC, there are many available that extends the already high longevity of the game.
Graphics and Sound
From sonically nothing to report, with Dolby 5.1 support environmental effects recreated well, very good dubbing in Italian (although some minor character at times leaves something to be desired).
From graphical point of view I can say I was amazed .. I thought that Xbox had already "given" everything, and considering the high quality graphics of the first chapter I did not expect major progress .. and yet the look of this Mass Effect 2 is much improved, especially facial expressions presonaggi .. amazing!
The environments are much richer and more credible and a very clear graphics.
Conclusions
to buy, to buy, to buy! One of the best titles for the Xbox, a game long and thoughtful (Action parts are inferior to the parts box) but a must buy!

Where Do You Migrate Pokemon To Soul Silver
iOS4 iPhone 3G, many new and some problemuccio
As half the world knows by now (just because the other half of the world is still asleep) for some time is available to all holders of the elusive iPhone 3G and 3G iOS4, the latest version of the iPhone operating system.
is the very first impressions on 3G.
- The overall speed of the software seems to be more responsive, scrolling windows, and opening / closing an application. In general my impression is that Apple has optimized the operating system code
- Now you can count the characters when writing a message, this information will appear automatically when you exceed 50 characters written.
- It 's been implemented in some sort of ability to group folders, programs. The function is graphically very nice and very helpful!
- It 's possible to change the background of the Springboard
- It' s been activated multitasking on this feature .. but I would like to dwell for a second, unfortunately multi tasking is handled only by programs specifically iOS4 and developed for that use its API .. therefore the older programs will not be in the background. Access to programs in the background is by double-clicking the physical button .. here we can find ALL the recently opened and closed .. but this does not mean that they are all in the background .. indeed .. it will be only those designed specifically for the background
- The Mail program has been rewritten and now you can group the boxes (a bit like the case with the Mail program for Mac). Full support for GMail and other accounts. I must say that the new mail works really great!
- There have been several implementations to solve security problems in the old operating system.
- The camera can activate a digital zoom up to 5x.
- Improved compass
- Added a system to geotag photos and any other system
- It 's possible to create a playlist directly on the iPhone.
- predictive system when writing texts
- Spotlight used on all parts of the system
short novel many, many ... but also something unexpected:
- Game Center was not included, it is still not ready to be launched and so for the moment there is
- iBook is not present by default on iOS4 but was released by Apple on AppStore , and is free of charge.
- Many problems of incompatibility with other programs not yet updated to iOS4. In my experience the following programs no longer work correctly: 2nd, and Skype IM + .. really annoying, especially for the first two since they're paying me a lot and used.
Surely the software house will try to do quick updates of their programs, in this first phase we will have to ma ke a little patience.
- One last note, which I keep on reserve to deny then gave me the impression that the new system consumes a little more battery .. but maybe it's my impression ... we'll see ...

What People Think Of Tom Brady
Nintendo 3DS: other news
Nintendo may be critical in the development of home console on the front .. but handled has always been ahead of everyone else .. 3DS and this seems to confirm this.
addition to the news the other day on the analog stick and the legendary stereoscopic screen, is there to confirm the presence of a graphics chip developed in 2006 that would allow significantly higher performance to the current DS. This would bode well in the development of titles "next gen" or with similar services to iPhone and PSP.
helped by more capacious than the current DS screens (I exclude of course the XL version that in the face of two larger screens also has a reduced resolution).
The release date of this little gem should be somewhere in early 2011.

E3: Nintendo 3DS .. the new 3-dimensional and handled a lot of news!
Well Nintendo has struck again .. and it brought out a new DS .. the 3DS to be precise.
At a quick glance and a few info from E3 DSi looks very similar to the XL, but with a difference: the top screen is in 3D! It really is not a true 3D, does not require goggles to use it, but it is a special screen that if you put in front of it manages to generate some kind of 3D depth ... unfortunately the movies that are not in network can appreciate it but who has tried live ensures that the 3D effect is remarkable.
The new DS will be compatible with old DS games.
It also has lots of news: an analog joystick and have the ability to take stereoscopic pictures!
Many interesting game demos (you will also be a metal gear) in stereoscopic format!
probably seen another new Tecmo will be declared by the port of Dead or Alive 2 on the nintendo little gem.
