Mass Effect
The Mass Effect Q&A on Play.TM chats with Al Reed from Demiurge about the PC edition of Mass Effect, BioWare's RPG: "One major area that you'll immediately notice a difference in is the squad controls, where you can now give orders to individual squad members. You can check out Dan's developer diary on the subject here. We've implemented a new HUD, we've reworked the inventory system, we have an entirely new mini-game, and there are a few more surprises for players as well. We've also upgraded the ME graphics engine and texture resolution to take full advantage of a high-end PC."
Lord of the Rings: Conquest
There's a Pandemic Studios Q&A on TheOneRing.net talking with Eric 'Giz' Gewirtz about Lord of the Rings: Conquest, the just-announced game that will bring Star Wars: Battlefront-style gameplay to Middle-earth.
