Step aside, “Paragon Renegade” by Adam WarRock. There’s a new Mass Effect rap opus in town.* The Mass Effect Epic Rap by Dan Bull offers up a clever rhyming synopsis of the events of the first two games in BioWare’s hit series.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 comes with a multi-chapter, fully voiced summary of the plot of its predecessor, which is extremely convenient for fans that decided to pass up XIII in favour of not getting involved in a giant argument.
