Mass Effect 2 – Completed

Posted on Written by

After completing the various assignments & loyalty quests it was time to advance the main quest & use the Omega 4 relay. The final mission gives you various choices along the way when deciding which of your companions you want to use for a particular task.

Through these choices some of your companions might end up dying like Legion & Mordin (although I have no idea how he died). You then get to the final boss fight, a giant Terminator with lasers.

Decide on what you want to do with the collector ship, I ended up destroying it. The ending scene shows reapers gathering at the edge of space all building up for a final showdown in Mass Effect 3.

Time for some co-op gaming now with Knack & Army of Two Devil's Cartel whilst I decide on what single player game to play next.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)

And then there was one. One! Just one Sage left!

And not only that, but I’ve upgraded my sword using a couple of Master Ores, and I managed to find the Blue Mail (which was in the Swamp Palace, even though some people on MiiVerse told me it was in the Ice Ruins – pfff, idiots).

On top of that I’m also most of the way through the final remaining dungeon (bar, I presume, Lorule Castle), which happens to be the Dark Palace. It’s a bit confusing, and very dark, but the enemies are a complete walkover. It would seem that despite the name and perceived level of evilness the dark suggests, this is intended to be a dungeon done much earlier in the game. Not that it matters!

Hahaha__No.After a mammoth effort this weekend, I get all the stars, stamps and flags from the rest of the remaining levels. It wasn’t hard, it just took a fair while as most of the levels had at least something left to collect.

My reward? World Crown. I was slightly disappointed to find there were just three levels on this world, but as you can see – one of them is pretty much a monster. Look at all them stars!

Mass Effect 2 – Recruitment Drive

Posted on Written by

I hate the way the game forces certain missions on you without giving you the option to refuse or delay those quests. These quests are related to main quest line about the collectors, seemed to be triggered when you have recruited  a certain number of companions.

I currently have seven recruited but to avoid triggering another forced quest I am not going to recruit any more players thus giving me a chance to clear up on many of the various side quests & assignments.

I have just investigated a collector ship which was a trap & after giving the Illusive man a rollocking I decided to not go after an IFF (whatever that is?) but instead focus on further developing my team.


Sonic the Hedgehog: collecting emeralds

Posted on Written by

The original Mega Drive game was available on the PS3 for around a pound, so I bought it.  Of course.  I now own that game on the Mega Drive, Saturn (in Sonic Jam), Gamecube and Xbox (in Sonic Mega Collection), DS (in Sonic Classic Collection), Xbox 360 and PS3.  And I've completed it on every platform other than the PS3.

This pales into insignificance when you compare it to Andy's collection, but I've no doubt I'll buy the 3DS version at some point ...

After getting annoyed with the battle in Tomb Raider, I decided to play through this.  Rather than a straight run-through, I decided to try to get as many trophies as possible.  This means not dying, completing the first act of Green Hill and Marble in relatively quick times, collecting all the chaos emeralds, and completing the game in less than 40 minutes.  I was saving after every stage and had to restart the special stages a couple of times, but I've now got a save game with five chaos emeralds, at the start of Spring Yard 3.  I think that the overall time might be more than 40 minutes by the time I get to the end though, so I might need to play through another time without trying for the special stages.
