Mass Effect for X-Box 360

Video Game developer Bioware exploded in 2003 with Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Based on the Wizards of the Coast’s Star Wars RPG system, KOTOR was the most elaborate and mind-blowing RPG seen for the X-Box platform. Winner of the Game Developer’s Choice Award, BAFTA Games Award and numerous others, it firmly established the name of Bioware in the minds of every gamer from that point onward.

This year, Bioware enters the next gen platform world with the anxiously anticipated sci-fi RPG game, Mass Effect.

The first in a trilogy, Mass Effect is an epic set 200 years in the future. The player controls an elite team seeking to halt the resurgence of an ancient evil which threatens to consume the galaxy.

As the leader Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land.

Players have an enormous sandbox to play in. Several planetary systems, space stations full of strange and outrageous aliens litter the game’s world. Characters are fully customizable using the most advanced interactive systems and gameplay techniques. Featuring eye-poppingly gorgeous in game graphics and cinematics that the player is in full control of (as seen in the videos below), this is sure to once again redefine the platform RPG video game.

Gamers have been patiently waiting for this game since it was first announced. With a loose release date of 2007, it looks like they’re going to have to start learning some really intense meditation techniques.

Judging from the videos, one things for sure, though. The wait will be worth it.
