As always we here love Mass Effect and everything about it, Commander Shepard, gripping plot, space ships and that great sci-fi RPG element.

So we have managed to dig up some more colourful awe inspiring screenshots of the up and coming sequel developed by Bioware.

Watch our First Look Unboxing Video in HD on Xg247 Youtube 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the biggest games of the year therefore expect quite a lot of official products rolling out from Activision and Co. In this case we’ll be taking a look at the ‘crazy cats’ over at MadCatz who have sent us the Combat Controller for the Xbox360 (Also available on the PS3, a wireless version).

A controller which has been targeted towards the hardcore players of MW2 and promises to give you a immersive playing style with this specially created controller.

Does the controller keep up the combat or does it feel like a knife wound hindering your play?

Major Nelson has been on the case once more and informed the world of yet another XBL Deal of the week. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, that mind spazzing classic has had its price tagged slashed down by a nifty seasonally exceptional 40%.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 floated from the heavens and landed on the Sega Megadrive back in 1992 and still is an iconic title that helped revolutionise the standard of games we play today. You can now own this title on Xbox Live Arcade for 400MS, 240MS Points.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is still one of my favourite retro titles and brings back many memories, but I still wonder how an idea like a speedy blue hedgehog came to life, its like wondering why short Italian plumbers are heroes.

Home Winter Wonderland

As we all know Christmas is only a few weeks away and what better way to celebrate Christmas from real life into the HOME virtual world on the Playstation 3. I don’t think i can take this post seriously enough to continue to keep going, But i will for your amusement.

Winter Wonderland festival space! is what Sony is calling it will be available to all home users on 10th of December. Even though the idea could seem to “merry” for you and you’re a bit of a humbug, i guess i forgot to mention their will be free stuff in SANTAS GROTTO! At least you don’t have to sit on some old guys knee in real life.
Sorry Digbert no real Santa for you.

Home Winter Wonderland

Not only will their be free stuff, but also scary little helpers like this freak here waiting for you to have your picture taken with him. How nice… Seems like Sony are giving the gamers some Christmas cheer with lots of mini games for gamers to play on the home area and also a winter market for download’s.

One things for sure, Playstation have recently amped up there amazing line of Advertisements, shame we don’t have the Dixon’s equivalent in the UK when they actually get a bunch of chav’s to fight it out over isle “boom”.

Best Buy and Sony have teamed up to bring you an amazing TV, PS3, Game and Blu-ray discount of over “$1100” (Which in today’s money still racks in at £348.49). We are still waiting for a UK discount but I guess us British always come last.
