Games

IN IRELAND, the most common ‘mass effect’ is people falling asleep in church.

To BioWare it’s a term they coined for one of the most popular games of the current generation.

Mass Effect 2 (PS3; RRP €59.99) is the second of BioWare’s epic space operas, but the first to arrive on the PS3. While the original game is intrinsic to the plot of the second, PS3 owners are brought up to speed by way of a comic-book style introduction, complete with significant choices for the player that will affect how this sequel unfolds.
