Bioshock and borderlands review are spot on, only thing I disagree with on the ME 2 review is the getting rid of the old gun system. Upgrades being made intergral to how the game plays, and forcing the need to be the quantity surveyor is FAR worse than a natural storyline and the age old method of buying better guns as and when you can afford them. Reducing quantity and increasing sell price would have made it far simpler.
When you upgrade kit and can't see any noticeable difference because the enemies scale up as you upgrade, makes it feel completely unrewarding. Everything else he said was spot on though, its a shame ME2 felt so much smaller and less epic, in universe size and level design, first game was epic start to finish in every way.
Shame Bioshock 2 sucks so badly, can't bring myself to finish it after getting utterly bored with it.
