Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefront II Trial & Need For Speed Trial Coming To EA Access


Posted on October 11, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

Electronic Arts are set to expand the line-up of free games on both Origin Access (PC) and EA Access (Xbox One) according to official-looking descriptions posted by industry insider Wario64 on Twitter. These reports were seemingly confirmed by other outlets including GameSpot later on in the day. 

The full version of Bioware Montreal’s freshman effort Mass Effect: Andromeda will be joining the vault on PC. Issues regarding the game’s facial animations and overall performance made for quite a lot of meme-worthy content when the game was first released earlier this year. After several patches, Andromeda is a better state now but this hasn’t stopped EA from putting the breaks on the series for the foreseeable future. 

Upcoming new releases Star Wars Battlefront II and Need For Speed: Payback will get pre-release trial versions for EA Access members. Need For Speed will get the customary 10 hour trial before the street date but no word yet on how long Battlefront II‘s trial will be or if it will only include a limited sub-set of content. The original Battlefront received a ten-hour trial on both Xbox One and PC before the full version was included in the vault several months later. 

Xbox One fans receive the full version of Dead Space 3 along with a trial version of the upcoming console port of The Sims 4. 

Here are the official game descriptions as originally shared by Wario 64:  

Mass Effect: Andromeda – You’re the Pathfinder, the leader of a squad of explorers, and it’s your job to find a home for humanity in the alien Andromeda Galaxy.

Dead Space 3’s Awakened DLC Is A Great Addition


Posted on April 9, 2013 by Les Major

It took approximately three and a half to four hours for Ghostwalker and I to clear the new Dead Space 3 DLC and we enjoyed the journey! That’s on par with the main campaign considering we got about an hours worth of entertainment out of DS3 for every $3 and change we’d spent on the retail copy. Three and a half hours for $10 is a fair deal in comparison. Want more details? There’s spoilers to come, so be wary!Read More

Dead Space 3 | Review


Posted on February 22, 2013 by Les Major

Version tested: PC

Dead Space is a great game series. Roaming the USG Ishimura in the first game, then exploring Titan Station in the sequel was an absolute survival horror treat. There is that magic about Dead Space, and it’s the kind of game you can play with your friends around as you wander the halls watching out for Necromorphs and items to pick up. However, many fans, including myself, were scared the most to see the bright snowy landscape of Dead Space 3. Thankfully, these fears were unfounded.Read More

Mass Effect Invades Dead Space 3


Posted on January 22, 2013 by Joshua Rust

One of the benefits of big companies is the potential for cross promotion within their owned franchises. Dead Space and Mass Effect have joined up to bring you a set of N7 Armor to Dead Space 3.

So what’s the catch?

Nothing really, the only thing you need are:

1) Play Mass Effect 3 and have a save file

2) Purchase and play the full game for Dead Space 3

3) Unlock your awesome N7 Armor

Electronic Arts and Visceral Games were nice enough to drop a trailer showing off the N7 Armor, so check it out!

Dead Space 3’s Terrifying $160 Dev Team Edition Detailed


Posted on January 13, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Looking for forward to EA’s Dead Space 3? Well, the publisher has unveiled the $160, Dev Team Edition, for the most hardcore necromorph hunters out there.  For an entry price like that you’ll get the game on your platform of choice (PS3, Xbox 360 or PC),  an 8 inch Black Marker statue, a Med Pack Water Bottle, 20 page note book filled with extra lore, an art book and post cards.

There was a time when Collector’s Editions of blockbuster videogames were a little daunting with almost every triple AAA title releasing an version that costs nearly double the price. Luckily things have slowed down a bit, save for the Halos, Dead Spaces and Call of Duties of the world.

Are you a fan of limited edition games? I’ve personally bought the Halo 3 limited edition (with Cat Helmet!) and the limited edition Gears of War 3 steel box, but little else. If the Dead Space 3 Dev Team Edition sounds up your alley get more information on EA’s website.
