What's the best price anyone has seen for Mass Effect in Brisbane so far? Hoping to pick up a copy tomorrow (well, actually today, given it's 4 am) but so far the best price I've seen is $79.
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

It was a hundred clams when I picked it up.
Will be interested to get your reaction, Magnus. I haven't had as much time to sink into it as I wanted, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it now I've got a feel for the combat. It's definitely a keeper.

Meet The Scout was a bit weak, but this one is just fantastic. Pure brilliance.

It could be the guinness talking, but "Meet the Sniper" was very amusing. Jolly good.

Because I'm indecisive and accustomed to doing things on a whim from time to time, I decided to boot up Neverwinter Nights 1 on the laptop. I don't think I've ever seen it run so fast or look so pretty. I may weep openly.

Well, I just finished Mass Effect, and it was absolutely fantastic. Very probably the most cinematic game I've played, and a really solid, fun sci-fi epic. Highly recommended.

Seconded.
My copy of the Surfing The Highway arrived today, and immediately shattered any consumer remorse over buying the signed hardcover. It is one sexy beast of a book. Rightly presented as a timeless classic for the ages, this is a collection I will one day share with grandchildren on the CyberPorch.

Well, here's something to chew on: there have been rumours drifting about for the last week or so that Fallout 3 has been "refused classification" by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification. Well, it's looking now as though it's true.
Any Australian gamer should be aware at this point of the government's ass-backwards lack of an R rating for games, meaning anything that exceeds MA gets the automatic ban-hammer. Fallout 3 will feature not only a large amount of blood and guts, but apparantly morphine use (presumably as a health-pack of sorts) that can lead to addiction on the player's part. And since it is of course utterly impossible for games to be made for adults or to deal with complex and mature themes, the OFLC has put the kibosh on it.
Now presumably the game is going to be modified for local release, expunging the prurient content that we're not grown-up enough as a people to cope with. Some might remember that just a few months ago Grand Theft Auto IV quietly suffered the same fate, removing a small amount content in a particular cutscene. I'm not aware of the exact details, but my understanding is that it was just cinematic content, not a large-scale game element, as with Fallout. As you might expect, though, many many Australian gamers decided to take matters into their own hands.
I've been meaning to get acquainted with Play-Asia.com. Looks like this October it'll be my chance.

ffs. Why does our rating's system not have an R rating? Argh. This is only going to contribute to the piracy rate we already have. Fingers crossed, it'll go up on Steam where they only have to adhere to the american standard (I think. The uncencored version of the Soldier of Fortune 3 is on there, so I assume so).
At any rate, I can get the collectors addition shipped to Australia for cheaper than it would be to buy it here.
