'Shadow Complex' X-Play Review
I know this announcement's late fella's, but my Xbox 360 still has the RRoD so I missed this game when it came out on Tuesday, August 19. 2009. (Working on getting 360 fixed right now) Anyways, 'Shadow Complex' is a Xbox Live Arcade game that I have been anticipating since it was announced at E3 2009. It has all the gameplay that made classics such as Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night so great, while at the same time it has all the updated graphics that the current generation of consoles can provide. I have a feeling this will be one of the most enjoyable games of 2009. X-Play even gave it a 5/5 which is an extremely rare score from them! *video below*

Mass Effect 2 heading to PC, Xbox 360 early 2010
BioWare has recently confirmed that Mass Effect 2 will be heading to PC and Xbox 360 in "early 2010". No mention of a PS3 version was announced.
Mass Effect sold over 1.6 million copies in just 6 weeks of its release. Calling it a success is a bit of an understatement. Bioware has confirmed that Mass Effect 2 has an "in-development" status while Mass Effect 3 is in "pre-development". Not much is known yet about Mass Effect 2, but Casey Hudson, the Project Director for BioWare, has said that players should keep their Mass Effect save-files, because decisions made by the player in the first game will continue to have influences on their character in the sequel.
BioWare has a long history of successful games with titles such as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. There is no reason to believe that Mass Effect 2 will be any less of a blockbuster title.
On a side note, another soon-to-be-released (Q3/Q4 2009) game from BioWare is Dragon Age: Origins. It is described as a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series, but not set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Though Dragon Age: Origins is a single-player game, it will include a toolset that will allow for user-created content.
People who assume that Dragon Age: Origins will just be Mass Effect with a medieval setting will be sorely mistaken. What race and class you pick will determine which 1 of 6 paths you take from beginning till end and also what options and quests will be available within the game. Dragon Age: Origins is scheduled for a Q3/Q4 2009 release.
