			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A co-worker of mine pointed out a very interesting sentence during the Activision-Blizzard Q4 09 Earnings Call.</p>
<p>Start from the mouth of the Bobby Kotick, CEO of the company:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/MWMMO.bmp"><img class="size-full wp-image-2224 alignnone" title="MWMMO" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/MWMMO.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/187939-activision-blizzard-inc-q4-2009-earnings-call-transcript?source=yahoo&amp;page=10">http://seekingalpha.com/article/187939-activision-blizzard-inc-q4-2009-earnings-call-transcript?source=yahoo&amp;page=10</a></p>
<p>The only product that Activision-Blizzard has with a subscription base is “World Of Warcraft”.  If he is implying that the MW Series is going in that direction, I’d take that as a guarantee that future installations of Modern Warfare will be in the MMO genre.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/battle.net_.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2226 alignnone" title="battle.net" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/battle.net_-575x359.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="207" /></a></p>
<p>This also coincides with the company’s new multiplayer interface “Battle.net”.  This platform has been “revamped” for the release of Starcraft 2, but its redesign and update definitely compliment a Modern Warfare MMO release.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks to &#8220;JDENVER&#8221; for this tip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I’ve beat Mass Effect 2 this past weekend and my tour of duty is finally over.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/achives.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2174 alignnone" title="achives" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/achives-575x376.jpg" alt="achives" width="435" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>Does Mass Effect 2 live up to its name and deliver a solid Sci-fi Experience?  Does Commander Shepard still kickass in ME2?  More importantly does the game have “sex scenes?”  Keep reading and find out!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>What happened to all the guns?</em></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">One thing I didn’t like about Mass Effect 2 was that BioWare over simplified the weapons system.  Although the original game had an overwhelming amount of weapons and attachments, once you got the hang of things it was great to customize and tinker with your equipment.  I feel like Mass Effect 2 drops the ball in this area of the game.  At the end of the game everyone will be using the same weapons.  The weapons are pretty linear and there are no unique weapons or customization per play style or character build.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2457.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2181 alignnone" title="cimg2457" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2457-513x385.jpg" alt="cimg2457" width="336" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Mass Effect 2 only gives you a handful of weapon options.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/mass_pt2_equip_statscompare.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2177 alignnone" title="mass_pt2_equip_statscompare" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/mass_pt2_equip_statscompare.jpg" alt="mass_pt2_equip_statscompare" width="358" height="255" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The original Mass Effect offer a wide range of weapons and mods that you could customize and compare.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Damn, what an Epic Story</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">The story to Mass Effect 2 is simple and straight to the point.  “Save the Galaxy from evil robots!”   The story’s simplistic nature really pulls you into the game and allows gamers to really get involved with each character.  For example, when you squad mate Jacob has a personal matter, you really want to help him out (or at least I did).</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/50cent.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/50cent.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/jacob-taylor-mass-effect-2-screenshot-character.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2176 alignleft" title="jacob-taylor-mass-effect-2-screenshot-character" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/jacob-taylor-mass-effect-2-screenshot-character-453x385.jpg" alt="jacob-taylor-mass-effect-2-screenshot-character" width="330" height="279" /></a><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/50cent.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2173 alignleft" title="50cent" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/50cent-271x385.jpg" alt="50cent" width="201" height="285" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Doesn’t Jacob look like 50 cent? Yes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ok, maybe I oversimplified but that’s the beauty of the game.  If you really want to know more about each character and alien race, the game has a “codex” that has detailed information on pretty much everything.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2463.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2182 alignnone" title="cimg2463" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2463-513x385.jpg" alt="cimg2463" width="513" height="385" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Codex has answers on EVERYTHING.  I tip my hat to the writers!<br />
</span></span></p>
<p>Story was great, characters were memorable, and the ending was decent.  This is a BioWare game at its best.   Mass Effect 2 delivers with flying colors with its story-telling.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>What’s the Big Deal?</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Yes, Mass Effect 2 has sex scenes.  I never understood why this was such a BIG deal with everyone.  The scene is like a minute long, show nothing and yet everyone goes crazy about it.  I’m sure even as you are reading this you are wondering if I’m going to post a video… SEE I KNEW IT!  I’m posting a video of a Female Shepard doing the nasty with Garrus, only because I find it to be hilarious.</span></p>
<p><object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/m12GnTkEku4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m12GnTkEku4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jinx.com/track.aspx?rsid=736&amp;bid=10" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jinx.com/Content/Banner/728x90chogun_lvl.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="728" height="90" /></a><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>What happened to all the skills? </strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Another issue I had with ME2 was the skill tree, or lack thereof.  The original Mass Effect had a wide variety of skills that you could choose from.  Would you MAX out “Assault Rifles” or put another point into “Singularity”?  Mass Effect 2 doesn’t really give you a lot of options.  Your only option for of customization is “training” (copying) one skill from your squad mates, if you have gained their loyalty.  This does add some complexity to your character but doesn’t really change the game.  My guess is that Mass Effect 3 will have a much better “import” system which adds on to your already Powers Build. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/masseffectleveling.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2178 alignnone" title="masseffectleveling" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/masseffectleveling-512x385.jpg" alt="masseffectleveling" width="394" height="296" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Mass Effect has a complex Skill tree that made it fun to customize your character.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2464.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2183 alignnone" title="cimg2464" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/cimg2464-513x385.jpg" alt="cimg2464" width="426" height="319" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">Compared to the orignal ME2&#8217;s skill tree doesnt look as impressive.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Voice Acting Great</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">With an all-star cast the voice acting for ME2 is out of this world.  Even the mundane conversations are believable and entertaining.  Sigh, Yvonne Strahovski  &lt;33<br />
</span><br />
<object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/QznjOF9e7sY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QznjOF9e7sY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Is this an RPG or a Shooter?</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In terms of combat gameplay ME2 never skips a beat.  Combat is very polished and the frame rate never skips or slows down.  It’s fast, frantic and fun. The controls feel great and very easy to get used to. When you mix in biotic powers and some tactical plans of  your own, this is one of the best “shooters” in 2010.  Wait did I say shooter?  Yes I did.  Mass Effect 2 plays much better than some “shooters” I’ve played in the past.   Ah, “Dark Sector” go to the corner now.</span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
</span><br />
<object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/tFiAxt6vqpU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tFiAxt6vqpU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Conclusion</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">In conclusion Mass Effect 2 delivers a grade “A” epic sci-fi adventure. Although the game seems to focus more on the shooter aspect this time around RPG lovers will still find everything they are looking for.  The production values are exorbitantly high and this can be seen by the sheer volume and polish that the game shows.  I highly recommend Mass Effect 2 and give it 9.5 out of 10.  Now, the agonizing wait for Mass Effect 3 begins. </span></p>
<p><object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/jLhptv1yYMU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jLhptv1yYMU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><em>This review is based the retail copy of the game purchased @ VideoGamesNewYork. Played through Xbox 360 version on INSANITY difficulty, choosing soldier class for Shepard. Completed game at level 26, then started a new game for achievements.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got the secret ending, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8220;The Truth&#8221; </span>in Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2&#8230;</p>
<p>If you have not, <strong>DO NOT</strong> read any further.  Following below will be images and spoilers of the game’s ending and the secret ending: Subject 16’s “The Truth.”</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WARNING SPOILERS BELOW!!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>SPOILER ALERT!</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><br />
</strong></em></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/assassinscreed2_2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2130 alignnone" title="assassinscreed2_2" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/assassinscreed2_2-477x385.jpg" alt="assassinscreed2_2" width="477" height="385" /></a></p>
<p>My initial thoughts are&#8230; wtf?  But now that I&#8217;ve thought about it a bit here is my interpretation of the ending and &#8220;the Truth&#8221;.</p>
<p>I definitely think Time Manipulation has taken place or will play some part in Assassin&#8217;s Creed 3.  At the end of the game, &#8220;Minerva&#8221; speaks and refers directly to Desmond.  How else would this be possible without Time Manipulation?</p>
<p>In the game Ezio asks Minerva, “Are you gods?”  Minerva simply answers “No. We simply came…before.” Could it be that future humans traveled back in time to prevent future disaster?  The ending of AC2 points out that a solar flare might be a bigger threat than the Templars.    A little weird but we&#8217;ll see how that works out.</p>
<p>Now here is the truth video:<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></strong><br />
<object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/CfA1Da8R2pU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CfA1Da8R2pU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>ok, its not just naked people scaling a futuristic building.  <img src='http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>My theory:</strong></p>
<p>Adam &amp; Eve are probably the first &#8220;Assassins&#8221; and they are escaping &#8220;Eden&#8221;.  They started the war against the gods, who in turn enslaved other humans to fight for them (Templars).  This is why the Templars seem so much more powerful than the Assassins.</p>
<p>Who is this person? What are they doing?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/truth2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2126 alignnone" title="truth2" src="http://www.wrixel.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/truth2-575x243.jpg" alt="truth2" width="476" height="201" /></a></p>
<p>OK, what do YOU guys think?</p>
<p>Remember,</p>
<p>&#8220;Nothing is true; everything is permitted.&#8221; -Altair</p>
