Wow

Finished 'Mass Effect'. Wow - what a game! Very much fun. I restarted it and it is SO nifty to be able to keep all the stuff from the prior game. It's also very useful to be able to reallocate the skill points for allies in one fell swoop [now that I know what skills are much more useful].

Also began 'Star Ocean, End of Time'. Interesting controls. I like much of what I've seen, although the combat will take a LOT of getting used to [active battle = blech!] - and what's with the lack of save points? Very original plot and universe background for the game.
