Sunday, March 27th, 2011Unstoppable Zealotry – The Guardian
Friday, March 25th, 2011
Learning a new set of Bloodlines each week can be a daunting task, but that’s where I step in.
I am going to aim to delve into the deeper side of each individual Bloodline as they rotate out, explaining the ins and outs, and to give you all a better understanding of each class.
Bloodline Champions uses a system of 4 main Archetypes; Healer, Melee, Tank and Ranged and within these are the Bloodlines. For the free-to-play each week there are 4 Bloodlines available to play, 1 from each archetype.
This weeks in depth-analysis is going to be on the Guardian, another one of the ‘Bloodlust’ Bloodlines and it falls under the Tank archetype. This class recently had some changes made to it so it is now a lot more viable, and has some great utility. A big heavy hitting tank with some heals thrown in there too make this Bloodline very desirable to play.

Jack Wall Humbly Departs From Mass Effect 3
Friday, March 25th, 2011
Legendary gaming composer, Jack Wall, has left the musical helm of BioWare’s epic RPG series, Mass Effect, leaving English composer Clint Mansell some big sweaty space boots to fill.
The first two soundtracks, which Wall wrote with Sam Hulick, Richard Jaques, and David Kates, were widely praised by fans and critics, all of which were hoping for this team of musical mastery to return for a third and final time.
However in a brief interview with Thirteen1, Wall explained his reasons for departing from BioWare, a developer that he has enjoyed working with over the past decade.
“I have had a long and wonderful relationship with the folks at BioWare,” states Wall reminiscently. “Like anything, sometimes a fresh approach is the best. I’m working with new clients now and it feels very different than I think it would have to be working on a third game.”
