First Mass Effect 3 screenshots are out

First official screenshots of Bioware's Mass Effect 3 is here. They only released two screenshots but it's better than nothing.

Thanks to Game Informer for releasing the screenshots. We see Shepard fighting some Cerebrus squads so it's clear they want him dead.

Don't expect a huge difference in graphics though. With around 1 year of development time, the graphics should be similar. Bioware also mentioned that the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is using the engine used for Mass Effect 3. A lot of changes were already mentioned and i can't wait to see Mass Effect 3 in action.

Mortal Kombat and it's day one glitch...

It's actually pretty hilarious. When i popped by Mortal Kombat disc for the first time it required me to download a patch. A patch on day one? had no idea at the time why there was a patch. Now we know why.

The patch is to fix Mortal Kombat's hair and clothing physics from breaking. Good job on the devs for releasing a quick patch. I got the game on day one so just like me i doubt you guys experienced this glitch.... or did you?

Ads in video games

Now I don't know exactly how big Tiger Direct is in the States but I'm sure most of the people in our country haven't even heard of it.

In the most recent released first person shooter, Homefront, we see a ads for Tiger DIrect. I don't know how often these ads appear but I've heard people say that it you see it quite often. Maybe not as often as I make it out but perhaps more than enough for you to notice it.

Personally this is very funny. I won't disclose what my profession is but I have had some work experience with Tiger Direct and seeing it in a video game is just hilarious.

Zoo takes place in an abandoned Soviet zoo. The map includes a monorail track that you can either be used as a good sniper spot or a way to go around the map.

Hotel was inspired by the vistas of Havana. Taking control of the upper floors is key in this map. The second floor can only be accessed via the elevators. Control the elevators you control the upper floors which gives you a  great sniping area.

Convoy is built around the premise that a  United States convoy was hit by a Soviet ambush. Close quarter players will have an easy time going around this map.

Stockpile takes place in a suburban village in Russia that has a stockpile of weapons. In the middle of the map they have an operational garage door. This is key to the map since you can use that position to control the map.

Not much info about the zombie map but we do know its called " Call of the Dead".

Call of Duty: Black Ops second Content Pack will be out first on Xbox 360 on May 3 for 1200 Microsoft Points($15 dollars).
