Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Mass Effect on PS3
The original game comes to the Sony console with a range of improvements.
Five years on from its original release on the Xbox 360, developer BioWare has at last picked its moment to adapt the very first Mass Effect for PS3. This comes available as either a single PSN download or as part of the Mass Effect Trilogy collection - helpfully packaged alongside all relevant DLC, plus a patch to enable character imports in the later games. It's a great move for series completists, but much has come and gone since the game's first run on Microsoft's console in 2007. It's a product of its time, suffering as it does from severe frame-rate dips and texture pop-in, and with a lack of technical refinement that could seem out of place for a modern release.

Feature | Exploring Bientôt l'été
Once more unto the beach with Tale of Tales' latest.
Outside, white sands lead down to the shoreline. Clothes rustle in the breeze, gulls flock and scatter by the surf, and two slatted seats are placed at each end of the boardwalk, painted white and facing away from each other. Maybe they've had an argument. Up the dunes a little there is a building with a single door. Beyond the door is a café where you can drink and smoke and play chess on a cheap wooden board. The pieces are large and probably old. They have those little felt circles tacked underneath them.

Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Darksiders 2 on Wii U
Wii U fails to best the competition in another Digital Foundry multi-platform comparison.
In terms of platform parity, we came away reasonably satisfied with Vigil Games's work on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Darksiders 2, although we felt that console gamers were let down by heavy tearing, while PC gamers had to suffer a lack of customisable graphics settings. The latter was a basic port, combining the best features of the 360 and PS3 versions with the ability to run at higher resolutions and frame-rates: by default the best experience, but a little disappointing in the DirectX 11 era.
