Do you mean the Mass Effect 2 mining adventure? |

I'm happy to see that the long standing tradition of EA destroying the good and promoting the bland of everything they touch has not yet managed to infect the Mass Effect name, even if it's already beginning to show in the direction Dragon Age 2 took a bit. Here's to hoping that they allow BioWare to have enough of it's freedom to not take this Canadian giant all the way into mass produced obscurity. ... although the joys of mining in Mass Effect 2 is something I've yet to encounter (my last computer couldn't handle it). |

Mining is one of the more "mundane" parts of MA2. |

Mundane is putting it mildly. "Shepherd, we need you to race against time and save us from the Reaper threat". "We just can't provide you with much in the way of equipment so you'll have to spend most of your time surveying planets from orbit because we can't afford survey ships, oh and here is a list of unrelated assignments. Please complete them for a little extra spending money - Thnx The Illusive man " |

Meh, the mining portion, although pretty stupid, did give me amusement when I did it to Uranus. Yeah sure, childish, but funny. |
