Mass Effect 3 to land Christmas 2011 Posted: 12 Dec 2010 03:28 AM PST Posted by Devina Divecha on Sun 12 Dec 2010 Mass Effect 3 trailer confirms London will be burning. Fans of the Mass Effect series have double the reason to be happy: Mass Effect 2 for PS3 is set to land towards the end of January 2011 and Mass Effect 3 has been officially announced to hit stores at the end of 2011. Bioware officially confirmed that the third installment of the sci-fi game will land in UK - quite literally - towards the end of 2011 at the Spike VGAs. Our very own Blighty made an appearance in the debut trailer, with a burning London under attack by the Reapers and Commander Shepard is needed to save the Earth. No platforms have been announced as yet.

Mass Effect 2 for PlayStation 3 will arrive in Europe - including UK - on 21 January 2011, just 3 days after it releases across the pond, which Electronic Arts has confirmed to IGN. Unfortunately the first installment of the series will not be released on PS3, staying instead as an Xbox 360 loyalist. Gamers will however find that Bioware is planning to include an interactive comic with the PS3 version to explain unmissable information from the first series. Whatever choices gamers make in the comic will transcend to the actual Mass Effect 2 gameplay. The Blu-ray disc will also feature DLC Project Overlord, Lair of the Shadow Broker, Kasumi: Stolen Memory and the Blood Dragon Armor. The trailer of Mass Effect 3 can be viewed here.

Amazon UK video games trade-in store launched Posted: 12 Dec 2010 02:37 AM PST Posted by Devina Divecha on Sun 12 Dec 2010 Kicking the old video games habit has never been so rewarding. Amazon is spreading holiday cheer in a different way: it's launched the beta version of their Video Games Trade-In store, where users can put up their games to swap for Amazon credit. Related links Best video games Ten video games banned around the world 50 best games series ever Best gaming PCs Best games consoles "Trading-in with Amazon.co.uk is quick and easy, providing customers with a great way to exchange their old games and save money on future purchases", said Chris Poad, director of video games at Amazon.co.uk. Before you finally agree to part with once-loved games, users will be able to see how much they'll get for them. If you like the amount of credit you will receive, you can go ahead with the transaction. The games can then be sent to a free-post address with a pre-printed delivery label, so you don't even have to shell out money for postage. The Amazon credit you receive can be used for any future purchases. With no extra fees for this service and a transparent way of working, this might be a better option to get rid of old video games. An example of what Amazon's Video Games Trade-In store can get you: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 is worth £9 and Fifa '11 on the Xbox 360 gives you £18.68.
