With the deluge of new hands-on preview coverage we've amassed for today, it officially feels like the wheels of 2011 are building up speed, at least as far as hyping new games is concerned.

We've got environmental destruction and repair, a kid with wings, blue anthropomorphic avocados, a six-way race-war, and a couple of 3D shooting galleries. Honestly, who could ask for more?

You want a chatty, you say? Fine then. Here you go. Some folks are hard to please.

so, uncharted :: uncharted 2 as mass effect :: mass effect 2?

worth playing, flawed, but ultimately necessary for the story? so far it's fun. tomb raider + max payne. good voice acting and fun indiana jones story.

    It's funny. I like both, but I also feel that they're equally flawed. I really want the story and openness of Mass Effect 1, but with the combat and (non-repeating) settings of Mass Effect 2.
    
    As such, it's therefore impossible for me to pick out which one I prefer.
