E3: Screen Overdose Anyone? Now It’s Mass Effect 3’s Turn!
Are you all screen’d out yet? No? Good, because I have another batch of ’em for your viewing pleasure. Apparently, E3 is good for gamers and screenshot fetishists. Mass Effect 3 would’ve been one of my most anticipated games of this year, top three easily, but since it’s been pushed into March 6th 2012, I suppose I’ll have to get my kicks with the five billion other fantastic titles waiting to jump into my open arms this year.
For the uninitiated, Mass Effect 3 picks up not long after the second game (and almost right after Mass Effect 2’s Arrival DLC), where the Reapers have decided it’s high time to start blowing shit up. Chaos ensues. Check out some rather tasty looking screens, located in that realm of nothingness that you too can enter when you click that little ‘read more’ button.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
