Mass Effect: Mass Effect to Raid Your 360 Galaxy Company: Bioware Set 200 years in the future, Bioware?s exclusive Xbox 360 title, Mass Effect, promises to be a squad-based Action-RPG where the theme is organic life vs. artificial intelligence. Mankind has finally figured out how to explore the galaxy, but they may not be ready for what awaits them. It will be your job to thwart the advancing armies of an agent gone rogue. You and your squad will have to struggle through realistically built locations in this sci-fi title that looks to be a winner. Mass Effect is actually the first game in a new trilogy that developer Bioware has in store for gamers. Your mission, as a sworn defender of galactic peace, will be to stop the advancing armies in a battle for galactic peace. In Mass Effect, your decisions and actions will help determine the fate of the galaxy. You?ll be in charge of raising humanity to the pinnacle of galactic civilization, either through nobility or through tyranny. You?ll even have the ability to step away from the main storyline and visit deferent planets to explore and pillage resources and search for alien civilizations. The visuals in the screenshots are fairly impressive, and the action looks to be a winner with different types of alien foes. In the spirit of Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, Bioware?s next step forward may show that Mass Effect could turn into an outstanding must-have title for both fans of Action games, as well as those who love a good storyline in their RPGs. Only time will tell what the great abyss of space will deliver when Mass Effect finally hits store shelves. -Woody, GameVortex Communications AKA Shane Wodele Related Links: Bioware's Site
