Wait, what? I never saw this.
It's not Bioware, it's the same team responsible for the ass-terrible C&C4. Bioware has become a sick Wizard of Oz analogy; they're nothing more than a pretty face for their puppet studios that pump out nothing but shit on Bioware's good name.

I keep seeing Jade Empire for XBOX for ~5bux, I take it it's worth getting? I have liked other Bioware RPGs. What makes it special?

Martial Arts and setting,everything else is bioware by the numbers.
Nice twist towards the end too.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Crap. I hope they don't screw up Generals 2 like they did C&C4.

It's basically KOTOR and Mass Effect mixed together but in an ancient japan fantasy setting. It's all hand to hand or melee combat but there's also magic powers and one gun you can get.

The first Mass Effect is about driving up vertical cliffs. That's it. I liked Jade Empire much more (and the setting is a little less cliche, at least.)

Yeah I still need to really play it. Only played a few hours back in the day, picked up a copy again last year though.

Oh, I should mention that I have never, ever completed a Bioware game. And I own 6 of the damn things.

The first Mass Effect might be my favorite from the series. I love the games and the universe and generally like Bioware games overall. They seem to be the RPGs I actually will finish through and beat for whatever reason...
