REVIEW: Mass Effect
Which developer made the best games on the original Xbox? For me, that’s a question with an easy answer. BioWare. The two games they made for that system,”Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” and “Jade Empire,” represent some of (if not “the”) best storytelling, writing, and voice acting of the last console generation. If you’re looking for pure action, then the “Halo” games have it beat; but, if you’re like me and you prize storytelling over action, then these games were as good as it got. So when their first Xbox 360 project was announced as “Mass Effect,” I knew that this would be a game worth getting.After playing it, I can say that it is.

REVIEW: Super Mario Galaxy
It has been years since I have been in awe with a console Mario game. Actually, now that I think about it… It has been over a DECADE. Not since Super Mario 64 (Sept. 1996) have I felt the Mario magic that I’ve grown up with throughout my years. With my doubts held high and my intentions good, I ventured forth into a new galaxy with Mario’s newest game. Which just so happened to be my new favorite Mario game ever made…
