March must have been a killer month for both EA and Capcom, constantly being headline news in the world of online blogs and gaming sites. Well, April is shaping up to be no different for these two publishing giants as EA captures their first ever "Worst Company In America" award, at least EA is trying to rectify the image by fixing the Mass Effect 3 ending. Capcom, alternatively, is also still burning under the flames of the on-disc DLC fiasco and it doesn't look like they'll be coming out from under those flames anytime soon. A classic cyber-punk RPG is also getting a redo for today's generation thanks to crowd-source funding, which means newer generations finally get to play Shadowrun the way it was always meant to be played. These stories and more in this April 7th, 2012 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
