14 DAY TRIAL // We have just one full Softpedia review this week, for the gun totting Yakuza: Dead Souls open world action title from SEGA, but we try to make up for that by also delivering a Quick Look for the weird Xbox Live Arcade title Sine Mora.
We also have continued installments of the Mass Effect 3 set of Gamer Diaries, focusing on our experience with the BioWare release and some small spoilers.
When it comes to the two Weekend Reading features, we talk both about how some unusual genres deliver some of the best role playing on the market at the moment, and about the effects of BioWare's decision about the Mass Effect 3 ending.
We also have a EndWeekGame piece linked to our gaming habits for the last two days and, as usual, we have a selection of the most interesting news of the past seven days.
