In fact, there isn’t much on games at all in <I>any</I> Catholic publication, minus the occasional article repeating the ever-tired refrain of “video games are tEh violent!” Sure, there’s the monthly feature on gaming in NCR (credit where credit’s due), and, of course, the catholic game nerd, but other than that? Nada. This blog was created precisely to rectify that; I’m glad you think it’s a good idea, as well. <BR/><BR/>As for Mass Effect: if I ever it, it will be with much trepidation - the gameplay systems, at least from what I’ve seen, seem very much like those of Final Fantasy XII...a game I absolutely deplore (I'm part of the "it feels like the game is playing itself" crowd). <BR/><BR/>If I manage to finish off Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy IV, and the upcoming Tales of Vesperia and Infinite Undiscovery, well...MAYBE I'll give Mass Effect a shot.

This...Andy, <BR/><BR/>I had no idea you ran a videogame blog. This is great. InsideCatholic is full of nerdy gamers -- me, Steve Skojec, Laurance Alvarado, Joe Marier (sorry Joe, you're not nerdy). And Deal, Todd, and Eric play videogames with their kids. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, if you're looking for your next game, I <I>highly</I> recommend Mass Effect, a beautifully written sci-fi epic. The best RPG I've ever played, and I'm not really the sci-fi type. I finished it Friday and have been down ever since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
