Ah, but did the artists fail or did the publisher / marketing team not represent their work correctly?  

Honestly, I'm always, always disappointed by game endings.  Usually the better the game experience, the more let down I am by the finale.  There's just never a satisfactory way to bring a great journey to an appropriate resolution in my opinion, because no matter how they frame it, it brings an end to a relationship you've established with the characters in the game world.  Considering how invested people are in the Mass Effect universe, I don't think they'll ever create an ending that brings joy to the masses.  

The time mechanic you discussed kind of sounds like the one used in the original Adventure Island. In that game, your life meeter is always decreasing and power ups (fruit) need to be pretty much constantly collected in order to remail alive.  Are the systems somewhat similar?

Well, at any rate, you've got my interest.  Let me know if you enjoy it.  I never played Dino Crisis, but I'm always looking for quality games to bulk out my PSone collection.

The title of this game made the theme from Rawhide run around in my head for a while too.  

Crap, you're right, Well I'm clearly having an off day, I was thinking of Turok.  *facepalm*

While I understand EA can't keep these servers up forever, there are better ways to go about this.  There was certianly not enough warning to it's customers.  If I were running the show over there, I would have shut down the ability to purchase an online pass, or at least put a warning into the process for buying one at least six months before the servers were shut down, .  

My issues weren't so much with him.  I couldn't stand the girl in that movie, and I wanted to yell at the screen when they hooked up.  She's like, Vanille level annoying.

Dino Crisis never really seemed that scary to me.  Intense perhaps, but not in any way that differs from other FPS titles.  Why not try RE4 first?

Funny story that, I kept telling my wife we should go see it every time the tv spot ran.  She kept kind of brushing it off, until one time she watched it and said "Holy crap, are those eyes? Let's go see that!"  By that time it was too late for us to catch it in theaters.  If it's out as a rental, We'll pick it up.

What was your take on Transporter 3?

It did, until I saw Transporter 3...

I'm a devoted Liam Neesn fan now.  Did you see Taken?  Holy crap that was good. Plus he was in Fallout 3.  Win.
