I just finished one of the best games I have ever played, Mass Effect, which Meredith got me for Christmas (bless her soul). Think of it as a greatly expanded Knights of the Old Republic with better graphics, better gameplay, a more expansive universe, and better storyline. I could go on and on. So good.

Now I have started Bio Shock, a game I bought with Xmas money (that is all I got for Christmas, video games and money that was used to buy video games - oh, and a beard). It is such a different type of game. μέν Mass Effect is a classic sci-fi exploration/adventure game; δέ Bio Shock is a classic survival/horror game, along the lines of a Doom title. That is not to say it is not a great game, but after spending 35+ hours with one game style, it is a bit of an adjustment going from lots of ammo and traveling from star system to star system going to dark, tight environments with barely enough ammo to get you through the next encounter. I am digging the Rand, however.
