So I just finished Lair of the Shadow Broker two days ago. Here’s what I can tell you guys about it:

The Shadow Broker is the most powerful information broker in the Mass Effect universe, a mysterious yet lingering presence capable of manipulating people, factions and perhaps even entire planets to do his bidding, all while remaining hidden in the background. Who he is and how he’s able to do allthis have been unanswered questions since the first game. Reuniting with former squadmate Liara T’Soni in the second installment reveals that he had a hand in recovering Shepard’s corpse and, somewhere in the process, earned Liara’s wrath.

So you’re done with Dragon Age: Origins. You’ve slaughtered the Archdemon, saved Ferelden and paved the way for a new monarch. Now, the expansion is out. Will it give you enough reason to don the old armor and head back to the fray?

Dragon Age: Awakening is a strong expansion for the series. Almost everything that you liked about the original is retained here.

Combat, while unchanged, is still a lot of fun.

Before we go on, note that my playthrough was with an imported mage from Origins. This means that I’m using the OP class and I’m more than familiar with the original.

Opposable Thumbs has a review of Army of Two and it looks like it’s a winner. Amidst the competitive world of first-person shooters, Army of Two provides great co-op gameplay that requires players to think first and shoot later. Don’t let that deter you though. Just because I said you have to think means that you get less of the action. It’s an FPS through and through. You just can’t play it run and gun-style and expect to do well.

Flashy action like the back-to-back, Tequila Bomb-esque sequences that start in a hail of gunfire and end in an empty room of bodies and bullets will have action-loving gamers floored. On the surface, this is like the best summer action flick you’ve ever been to with a buddy.
