News Workaround For Mass Effect 2 Save Glitch Detailed, Patch On The Way
PlayStation 3 players of Mass Effect 2 have been reporting a strange glitch which leads to the loss of game progress
Naturally, this is pretty bad as Mass Effect 2 is a sprawling 30-hour RPG epic. Bioware says it's aware of the problem and hopes to have a patch submitted to Sony as soon as possible. Until then, the developer reckons restarting the game every few hours should help you to avoid the..

News Mass Effect 2 PS3 Demo Was An "Old Build"
While Mass Effect 2 looks and performs better on the PlayStation 3 than most late Unreal Engine ports (kudos for doing a good job Bioware), a few people were left deflated by the game's demo after Bioware's proclamations of the game running on Mass Effect 3's engine
Worry not though, Bioware's Chris Priestly has revealed — as we speculated at the time — that the demo was running on old build of..

News Mass Effect 2 PlayStation 3 "Truly The Best Version", Utilises Mass Effect 3's Engine
It's a move that we never anticipated, but makes piles and piles of sense
Bioware's bringing Mass Effect 3 to the PlayStation 3 day-and-date with its XBOX 360 counterpart, but the franchise's previous title, Mass Effect 2, is finally coming to the PS3 in January. Makes sense that the port would run under Mass Effect 3's updated graphics engine, right? It sure seems obvious, but we never expected..

Rumour PlayStation 3 Version Of Mass Effect 2 To Include Interactive Comic, DLC & More
The original Mass Effect is not coming to the PlayStation 3, but the franchise is
The celebrations start with Mass Effect 2 which is due to release on the PlayStation 3 in little over three months.

News Mass Effect 2 On PlayStation 3 To Take Advantage Of The System's Architecture
Worried that Bioware are going to do a half-heartedjob porting Mass Effect 2 to the PlayStation 3? Don't be silly
We don't know where all this concern has come from. "The story won't make sense." Yeah, as if BioWare, the studio who created one of this year's best narrative experiences, are going to do a sloppy job bridging the plot. "It'll be a rubbish port." Again - BioWare. It..
August2010
After the initial excitement of Mass Effect 2 for the PlayStation 3 died down yesterday, many people were curious how they would bridge the story elements of the first game for those who didn't play it
The original game was funded and published by Microsoft, so there was no way they'd let up exclusivity rights for the title. It's also a vastly inferior game when compared with the improvements made..
GamesCom 2010 Mass Effect 2 Comes To PlayStation 3 In January 2011 [UPDATE]

It counts down to sometime on Monday. Why are we telling you about this? Well, because we kinda hope Bioware are finally going to man up and release the first two Mass Effect games for PS3.

News Bioshock 2 Takes The UK Charts' Top Spot, Bayonetta Re-Enters
Apparently Bioshock is still a big deal, as Bioshock 2 has shot straight to the top of the UK charts, removing previous leader Mass Effect 2
Interestingly, after a slew of price-cuts (and perhaps that Playstation 3 patch), Bayonetta has re-entered the charts in number 10 (up from 36). Elsewhere, Fifa 10 and Modern Warfare 2 are still strong propositions. Check out the full list after the jump..

Bioware were quick to dispell the myths, reiterating the game as "PC and XBOX 360 only."..

News Bioware: A "Few" Playstation 3 Titles Are In The Works; Cross Your Fingers For Mass Effect
As a Playstation fan, it's been pretty gut-wrenching to see those exceptional Mass Effect 2 scores roll in
Not because we want the PC/XBOX 360 title to fail; but because we know we're not going to be able to play it on PS3. Yet. Still, with EA owning all publishing rights for the Mass Effect IP, we can always pray that a port of both the original game and its sequel will arrive on Sony's black..

News Bioware Continue To Deny Mass Effect 2 On Playstation 3
The ongoing sub-drama of Mass Effect 2's potential appearance on the Playstation 3 goes on
Everytime the question's raised, a less than convincing answer is given. This time it's Bioware's Greg Zeschuck who is pressed on the possibility of a Playstation 3 port on GTTV. His response? "We're not saying anything." That Playstation 3 port continues to look more and more likely, but we guess..

News Mass Effect 2 On The Playstation 3? EA Claim "Error", We're Not So Sure
EA have been very hesitant about Mass Effect in the past
If you want our opinion (heck, that's why you're reading), we'd say the franchise is coming to the Playstation 3 at some point. Whether that means timed XBOX 360/PC exclusivity, a port of the original game or day and date PS3 release of Mass Effect 2, we certainly think it's coming. Yet despite EA Russia (and GAME Australia) listing the game..
