The lights are on
The release of the highly anticipated Mass Effect 2 and massive shooter MAG are just around the corner. If you can't wait until 10 a.m. on launch day to get your hands on either of these titles, you're in luck. GameStop is hosting a midnight launch event for both games on January 25.
Eager players will get the chance to participate in a tank building challenge, grenade launching (real grenades?), a commando dress up contest and more. Still, chances are if you're picking up a game at midnight, you'll most likely skip the festivities and race home to play it as soon as the cashier hands you the receipt. Call your local GameStop or visit the official site to confirm event times.
Will you pick up Mass Effect 2, MAG or both?
Full disclosure: Game Informer is owned by GameStop
like really people cant wait the next day....
this is crap , why do they need to drop the same style of games around the same time ? i cant stand first person shooters . why cant they drop some grand theft auto type games for the people that hate the shooters . last year they put out infamous , red faction , & prototype around the same time . but then they make you wait for the dope games like batman & uncharted . Thats wack
I'm definately getting MAG, but I don't have a 360 for Mass Effect so I'll just get MAG at midnight release.
i'll be picking both up that date, really excited to play both titles and see how they turn out
I can see a midnight release for Mass Effect but not MAG. I played the MAG beta and it felt like a cheap shooter, Not worth a midnight release
It will be intresting to see how well Mass Effect 2 does, I'm not getting the game myself, but I have been following it and reading about it.
Mass effect 2, maybe. But no midnight party! The last time I went to a midnight launch party, it was for Harry Potter 7. Even then, it was starting at 9:00 p.m.
Sorry for the multiple posts!!!!!!
You spelled 'whack' wrong, DJ Jemani
I will try to pickup Mass Effect 2 for the Xbox 360
i preordered mass effect 2 should arrive later than i want but better than not getting it
i dont think my gamestop is doin the midnight release, i asked the other day and they said it wasnt in the budget. i shouldve asked today when i went in to buy a used copy of the original mass effect, cuz i sorta deleted my save and already traded in my old copy a while ago
As fun as MAG looks, it does not deserve a midnight release. I think GS did it to give the PS3 some love because the 360 was getting ME2 (which does deserve a midnight release). They figured "Hey, the store's going to be open for ME2 anyway, and we have a decent number of preorders on MAG, so might as well sell it at midnight". BTW, love the full disclosure thing.
Mass Effect 2 first...MAG probably in a week or so depending on reviews
thanks for sharing....I wish more games would get this special treatment!
Ill be picking up Mass Effect 2 and i love midnight releases but the special treatment is stupid people wana get there, get their game(s), and get out as fast as possible
Not at midnight, I can wait a few hours
