Given how Mass Effect 2 ended (and all the posturing about the ‘Shepard Arc’ being a trilogy of games), we all knew Mass Effect 3 was coming. I don’t suppose anyone expected it quite so soon, but BioWare have been teasing a new game for a while. The internet was generally predicting it to be […]

The resident PC elitist fanatic enthusiast, Andrew’s grim outlook on the industry provides CNS with a hefty dollop of its news content. Oh, and he has managed to convince Barry to let him review stuff too!

Who knew being the head honcho of a big multi-national games publisher conglomerate could be so fun!
Codemasters’ video entertainment product of the world of the #1 Formula twenty-ten, where very brave/very rich/very arrogant (delete as applicable) men drive very fast cars very fast, releases this week. Heck, if you’re a citizen or visitor of a specific ex-British colony, you may already have it. If you have one of those new-fangled DirectXbox […]
