Another part in our KEEP PLAYING: Mass Effect 2 – Romance series!

The next installment of BioWare’s epic fantasy RPG will be out in just one week. After the Dragon Age 2 demo went live last week, fans are already alternately welcoming and decrying BioWare’s moves to make this property more like its Sci Fi cousin Mass Effect.

After we saw the first impressions from Game Informer and preliminary reviews from GamesCom last year, I put together a list of five unique features of Dragon Age: Origins that I hoped would not get trampled in that process. We’ve only seen the demo so far, but we can already answer most of those questions.

So how does Dragon Age 2 fare compared to its Origins? Read on!

Pretend it’s Wednesday.

Got it? Great!

Now, pretend that everyone who wanted to play Mass Effect 2 on whatever major platform has now had a chance to do so since its release on PS3 “yesterday”. Never mind that the last 24 hours have hardly been enough time to get through a single playthrough, let alone multiple you may need to let the whole story seep into your pores. This author and videographer has (obviously) had significantly more time to digest everything that the first two Mass Effects have had to offer in order to bring you this predictions video!

Keep watching this space for our next KEEP PLAYING video about Mass Effect 2’s many, MANY romance options! And feel free to make your own predictions below.

Council Spectre Frank Shepard is the universe’s first and best line of defense against total annihilation from the evil Reaper menace. He’s also a complete idiot. Lucky for him he’s good at killing, because he’s not good at much else!

In our first episode, Frank tries to have a conversation with Miranda, but keeps getting… distracted. Enjoy!

(See more of Frank after the break!)

The Second Annual Powet.TV Awards have been delayed a week to give our intrepid East Coast Powet crew time to get back home from the monster blizzards that left thousands of people stranded over the last week.

Until then, please enjoy this little tribute to our favorite plumbing duo:

It looks like the Reapers are no longer content to work through third-party agents messing around in the Terminus systems. They’ve on on the offensive by taking over Earth!

So can Shepard get the galaxy to finally unite under the Reaper threat, or will the Council races use this as a perfect excuse to rid themselves of the human “problem” once and for all since the Reapers don’t seem to be interested in anyone else. (As Shepard may remind them: “Yet”.)
