Mode Do Music For The Masses

Advantages: Some great tracks. Hangs together as a coherent whole.
Disadvantages: Some of the songs lack lyrical depth.

INTRODUCTION If Black Celebration started my love affair with Depeche Mode (DM), then 1987?s Music for the Masses (MFTM) marked the consummation of what was to become a lifelong relationship. I was a bright, but nerdy kid, meaning I started university at a the tender age of seventeen. DM?s previous effort, the seminal and direction-changing Black Celebration was the musical lifeboat that helped me navigate the jock-infested waters of High School USA. The release of MFTM on the other hand, coincided with my voyage of self-discovery. Having cut the apron strings and moved on to a college 150 miles from home in upstate New York, I was truly independent for the first time in my life ? away from the cosseting and watchful eyes of my parents. Here, my aim was not merely to survive, but to push on and find out who I was and who I ...

Review of Music For The Masses - Depeche Mode

Mass Effect Review

Advantages: Great graphics, exciting gameplay
Disadvantages: Game can jar when you enter a room

Mass Effect is a science-fiction action and role-playing game. You assume the role of commander Shepard, the leader of an elite commando unit.

Review of Mass Effect (Xbox 360)

Mass Effect. It had a massive effect on me.

Advantages: The best storyline I have found in a game. Its not just Oblivion with guns.
Disadvantages: Texture loading issues.

Mass Effect by Bioware is one of the best action - rpg's I have ever played. It follows Commander Shepard on a epic space adventure in order to save the galaxy, accompanied by an assortment of characters, human and alien. There are games that claim to allow the player to choose where they want to go and that their actions have true consequences on their game. Most do not deliver on this promise. Mass Effect on the other hand delivers this in spades, explaining these in detail would ruin the truly amazing storyline as most of the choices come at pivitol points in the game, sometimes however you can make a choice which changes the game without even realising it. * Graphics The graphics are stunning, the game will take you to many planets, some snowcovered, others barren deserts, some tropical rainforests to name a few and they all ...
