Massive Assassin's Creed spoilers in this topic. (really)

Most likely a hardware problem. It's pretty common for hardware issues to only happen with specific games at first, due to the differences in how they are pressed, the tolerances, etc.

GT3 for the PS2 was a game like that, a lot of PS2s that worked fine for other games failed on it because the drives were slightly mis-aligned.

I'm about 40% of the way through the game and got semi-bored with it even before Mass Effect came out. It's sooo repetitive. Though I love the combat and movement controls. Those need to be copied. Any combat mechanic that allows me to do bad-ass moves easily is a good thing.

I've already seen the spoilers, though it's not like it was hard to figure out the zomg!! twist!!! of it.

Shock and awe.

Prepare for the imminent death of your machine.

I figured as much.

Yay.
