In the News – 6th March
Mass Effect 3 launched today for the Americans, with the UK release due on Friday. The game currently has a Metacritic score of 93, while the user score is currently at 2.5. Political voting? I think so.

Darksiders II – Behind the Mask: Death Rises
THQ have released a new developer diary for Vigil Games’ Darksiders II, focusing on Death..
The story in Darksiders II runs alongside that of Darksiders, with War having been convicted and sent to Earth by the Charred Council. The remaining three Horsemen are informed of this, but believe War to have been set up. Death sets out to prove War’s innocence.. with a much larger game world filled with quests, loot, and powerful enemies to defeat.

Darksiders II is planned for release in June for the PC, PS3 and 360, with a Wii U version planned for the launch of that system later in 2012.
