Today in Germany at GamesCon, EA held a press conference to discuss its upcoming titles. Most of the news was interesting, but not surprising. Until they got to Mass Effect 2.

Gamepsot is reporting that the sci-fi RPG will make its Sony debut this January of 2011. No plans were discussed regarding the original game; only Mass Effect 2 has been announced. Since its debut on January 26, 2010, Mass Effect 2 has gone on to sell nearly 2 million copies and become a commercial and critical hit. The story has been adapted into comics, and a long-gestating movie is still in development.

Once considered a staple of the exclusive Xbox 360 titles, the Xbox’s loss is PlayStation fans gain.

The best Bioware games of all time

Male and female Shepard fist bumping.

BioWare has been one of the most prominent Western developers of RPGs for decades now. They made their mark on the industry early on by crafting deep stories told with a level of writing that was otherwise absent from video games as a whole. Not only were they masters of crafting original stories, but they even managed to inject new ideas and twists on existing franchises. In those early days, BioWare was strictly a PC developer, but have slowly transitioned into developing more console-focused experiences and are arguably more known now for these games than their earlier works.

After so many years releasing dozens of games, BioWare has given us some absolute classics -- as well as some major disappointments. No developer is perfect, and BioWare is proof that even sequels to critically acclaimed games can fall short of their predecessor for one reason or another. We felt it was time to look over the entire BioWare catalogue and list their best games of all-time. The top spots in this list in particular were hard to put in order, and depending on the franchise, setting, or gameplay style, you will probably order them slightly differently, but for the most part the games at the top of this list are agreed to be among the best this developer has ever made.

You can now replay PS3 classics with AMD Super Resolution

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) isn't exclusive to individual games, it seems. RPCS3 -- the go-to emulator for PlayStation 3 on PC -- added support for the feature over the weekend, and it's the first emulator to do so. Hopefully, it'll kick off a stream of support from other emulators, too.

The latest RPCS3 build supports FSR, so all you need to do is install the latest version or update the version you have, and you'll be able to use FSR with your favorite PS3 games. To enable the feature, follow Configuration > GPU in the app, tick the Enable FSR Upscaling box, and set the strength of the sharpening filter.
