    It's supposedly only 90 minutes max long and easy as hell. The Batarians try to crash an asteroid on a planet, you stop them.

    Pretty much on the ball, but overall I actually quite liked it. It was too easy, and too short, but it was pretty much what the UNC missions should all have been like - a mini-story with cutscenes, etc.

    Probably the longest I ever spent on a planet before was 30 mins, just tagging everything then going. Bring Down the Sky took me actually over 90 mins (because Im slow and went to do everything I could, dying twice in the process), and had a decent story.

    Sorry for the necro guys, but I have an idea that I'd like to pitch...

    After a couple of hard drive wipes, I have decided to re-install my game. This would be my second "activation".

    I want to know if it would be possible to wipe hard drive, install everything clean, install and "activate" this game and then make a back-up image of the hard drive to DVD or back-up partition or both?

    The way that I see it, this would only count as one "activation"? Lets say later on down the road, I decide to uninstall it Mass Effect. Then even later on down the road, I want to play it again. I whip out my back up, let it do it's thing and then I'll be playing again. Would this still count as my second "activation"? Have I totally confused anyone?

    The only thing that might make a kink is if a piece of hardware goes out...

    Just flat out "aquire" it, patch and crack it, and save yourself the headache man. It's legal since you already have a copy legally purchased before hand anyway.

    It's in a bit of a legal grey zone. If the precedent set by music digital downloads is anything to go by, it's actually illegal.

    But it is on rock-solid ground, ethically speaking.
