In the epic story of Fable III, the journey to rule the throne of Albion begins five decades after the events of the last chapter, and you play as the child of your hero from Fable II. As you rule your kingdom as king or queen, you will be called upon to make choices and sacrifices that will test your morality and can affect your entire kingdom. Themes of heroism, leadership and consequence are taken to a grand scale as you fight to unite a divided people.

Just over two years after BioWare’s original space-RPG epic hit the Xbox 360, its much-anticipated sequel has finally arrived. A much darker, more serious affair than the first title, Mass Effect 2 is a western-RPG with so many paths through the game, you’ll need a walkthrough just to comprehend it all. And that’s where we come in. Our gigantic walkthrough is rounded out by a robust basics section, coverage on all side quests, and even the game’s entire codex, for all of you nerds out there.

It’s time to save the galaxy!… again.

Half-Contra: Contra NES Remade In Half-Life 2. M0rtanius takes you into Contra with the Source engine in Half-Contra.

We get the feeling someone at BioWare has proclaimed this “Epic Week,” what with the release of its fantasy RPG stunner Dragon Age: Origins and now an epic new video from its next big game, Mass Effect 2. This isn’t a trailer or developer diary — you’re in for nine minutes of unedited, uninterrupted gameplay footage from the most recent build of ME2. In fact, it’s the same mission — set inside Omega’s “Inferno” nightclub — that we ourselves got to play earlier this week. (And yes, we can confirm it looks that good.)

You’ll get a sense of the sequel’s leap in environmental detail, character modeling and dialog scene camerawork in this clip, along with loads of intense combat. There’s even an appearance by returning character (and total badass) Garrus from the first Mass Effect, plus a joke that manages to poke fun at rumors of Commander Shepard’s death and the fact players can make him/her look like anyone they choose. Again — nine minutes.

What starts off as two guys talking smack ends badly for one guy who wrecks his garage. Ask yourself why the hell there is so much crap in this guys garage anyway. How is he supposed to fit his car in their.

Byron the Intern at ScrewAttack.com lists the top 10 best and worst power ups of all time. “Whether its giving you super human ability or powering up a gun they make games soo much fun to play.”

This game absolutely blew my expectations away. Part shooter and part MMO-RPG this game is fun and super addicting, a very dangerous combination. For 2 days straight I couldn’t put it down. When my 4 man party beat the game nobody even signed off, we just said ok you guys ready for round 2? Yup. Similar to games like Diablo, Borderlands gets even harder after each time you beat the game and you get to keep your characters for the next playthrough. This game is s definite MUST BUY.

Roland – Soldier Class

Description: Soldier and former mercenary, Roland is able to launch the Scorpio turret, a weapon that attacks automatically while shielding you from enemires. The turret can be upgraded to provide ammo and healing for you whole team.

Strengths: Shotgun and Assault Rifle

Overall the soldier is my favorite class. In any party the soldier is the most important character because he can heal the team and provide unlimited ammo. This class is a great support class but is also strong on its own. The Scorpio turret acts like having an extra player on the field when its out.

Brick – Berserker Class

Description: Brick is a berserker who annihilates adversaries with his fists while in an almost indestructible rage. When no pulverizing enemies by hand, brick fights using explosive weapons.

Strengths: Rocket Launcher

Berserkers are truly massive tanks. They charge into battle with fists swinging. They usually have the most health and strongest defense and they can use rockets to take out enemies from afar.

Lilith – Siren Class

Description: Lilith is a Siren with the ability of Phasewalking. She can become invisible and run with extreme speed. Sirens specialize in doing elemental damage.

Strengths: SMG

Overall the Siren is the least impressive character. Their super fast speed makes them able to use the SMG’s very well and their skill tree specializes in adding elemental damage. However the Phasewalking ability leaves more to be desired.

Mordecai – Hunter Class

Description: Mordecai is a hunter who uses his hawk, Bloodwing, to assist in battle. Mordecai is a sniper rifle master, but can get up close in battle with his revolver.

Strengths: Pistols and Sniper Rifle

Hunter is a very interesting class. His skill tree is split between sniper and gunslinger. You can choose to do massive critical hits with your sniper rifle from afar, or you learn to fight with the revolver. Revolvers are especially neat because they do nearly as much damage as the shotgun, but often times come equipped with a scope. Also the Bloodwing Hawk is very powerful and usually deals massive amounts of damage.
