Mass Effect 3 trailer with Femshep's new look
Bioware made the fans choose Female Shepard's new default appearance from a series of choices. In the end, the fans would rather have a red-head take back earth. This latest trailer for Mass Effect 3 shows the new look and some well-known characters from the second game.
Here's a fun fact. Reason for the change of appearance?? More players preferred playing the default female Shepard than the male. Go figure. I still prefer making my own character.
Bioware also mentioned that Femshep will be in the cover of Mass Effect 3's Collector's Edition.
Mass Effect 3 is in stores March 9 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC
Tons of Pre-Order Deals happening in Datablitz
I visited my favorite local gaming store which is Datablitz and noticed they have new pre-orders for us Filipino gamers. We can now pre-order our copy of Mass Effect 3, Syndicate, SSX, Sims 3: Showtime, FIFA Street, UFC Undisputed 3, and Asura's Wrath.
Thankfully, all EA games do come out on the said release date here in the Philippines. How I wish that would be the case for all games coming our way, but it's better than nothing I guess.
One of their latest pre-orders is for Mass Effect 3. Pre-order the game with Datablitz and you get the N7 galactic warfare and the M55 Carbine Rifle. The image above says Rafle, but I'm pretty sure it's a typo and should be Rifle.
Pre-order with them to earn two guns? Not the biggest incentive out there but if you want to go ahead and secure your copy, here's your chance.
Asura's Wrath, Capcom's over the top action game about defying the gods, will also get the pre-order treatment at Datablitz. Pre-ordering the game will earn packs including certain modes that will help you in the game. Depending on the platform you prefer, determines the bonus you earn for pre-ordering the game.
For the Playstation 3:
Devastator Pack - Includes Guardian Mode which reduces damage and Iconoclast Mode which fills your unlimited gauge faster.
For the Xbox 360:
Infinity Pack - Includes Extinguisher Mode which allows for quicker cooling and recovery after overheating, and Zealot Mode which provides an extended unlimited function
If your hyped for the third game of UFC Undisputed, pre-orders are also available. Place your pre-order and you earn:
- Exclusive Ultimate Fights: Knockout Pack
- Early Access Pass
- Contendes Fighter Pack
- Ultimate Knockout Artist Boost Pack
Datablitz hasn't given information on the pre-order contents of the other games(Syndicate, SSX, etc), but it's good to know the option is up.

Steam Daily Deal brings RAGE down to $15
For only today, id Software's latest game RAGE is 50% off on Steam. FOR ONLY TODAY, that's why it's called a daily deal after all. So if you've been interested in this shooter, now is the time to give it a try.
How I wish this deal was around before I bought my 360 copy of the game. Oh well, money well spent. The game is around 10- 14 hours long and the gameplay of this game is one of the best you'll ever experience in a shooter.

An Epic Battle Never Seen in Skyrim
Ever wondered how a battle between 500 Dwarven Soldiers vs 500 Draugr and a few Skeleton Warriors would look like in Skyrim? Well someone wondered about that same thing and created an epic Machinima video called the The Great Battle of Skyrim.
It's like Lord of the Rings all over again. With the Creation Kit for Skyrim out now for PC owners, this is just a taste of what's to come. The creator used various mods and console commands to create this epic battle. Don't be fooled, this is not an easy thing to do, so props to Tyrannicon.
