Mass Effect 3 (PC)

Sacrifice. It's Mass Effect 3's major theme, and rightly so. After all, the reapers were coming--it was only a matter of time. And now, those sentient space vessels are here, and with them, a galaxy's worth of destruction. Mass Effect 3 brings the...

Mass Effect 2 (PC)

Mass Effect 2 takes the bleak vacuum of space and flushes it with color--the light of stars and galaxies, the red and violet swirls of far-off nebulas, and the glimpses of comets as they burn through the void. You'll catch your first glimpse of this in...

Mass Effect (PC)

When Mass Effect was originally released last November on the Xbox 360, it unveiled a vast, beautiful galaxy populated by diverse, fascinating alien races. Players stepped onto this stage as Commander Shepard, a hero at the vanguard of humanity's...

Mass Effect 3- PC

The word “epic” is passed around liberally in critical media, be it the movies or videogames. The unquestioned master of the epic film was director Cecil B. DeMille, whose films carried such massive scope and reach that only Cinemascope could hold...

Let’s take a look at the Mass Effect series as a whole. BioWare has crafted a story that Mr. DeMille himself would envy, a story in which the Butterfly Effect is definitely in play (a single decision that you made way back in the first game can have...

Mass Effect 3 PC review: the end of Bioware's space saga is here

Alex witnessed the end of the Mass Effect trilogy on PC. Is that ending really as bad as they say? Find out!

Just like Commander Shepard, Bioware had some tough choices to make in Mass Effect 3. How do you end a series with so many story threads and millions of players invested, all while keeping things open for DLC and multiplayer? Basically, there was the...

Mass Effect 3 Review

The culmination of the Mass Effect trilogy concludes BioWare's ambitious project in must-play fashion. Mass Effect 3 isn't to be missed.

Mass Effect 3

To the stars: The second

Prior generations needed action figures and homemade costumes to feel like they were part of their favorite science-fiction epic. Mass Effect 3 makes that kind of hero worship feel outmoded. By making every one of us the captain in our own saga,...

Mass Effect 3 Review: An Extraordinary Conclusion to a Great Trilogy

My (and your) Shepard's story reaches its conclusion in one of 2012's finest action-RPGs.

Days after finishing Mass Effect 3, I find myself still haunted by a decision I made midway through my 30-hour campaign to rally the galaxy against the invasion of giant chthonic god-machines known as "the Reapers." It's the sort of decision that had...

Mass Effect 3 Review

It's not the best of the trilogy, but Shepard goes out with his/her head held high.

A strong story with a great atmosphere of sci-fi war; excellent voice acting; good enemy variety; fun co-op multiplayer

Clumsy controls and UI; the ending is confusing; the new crop of companions isn't great

It's hard to believe, but after five years and three games, it's time to finally say goodbye to Commander Shepard. Quick, I need something to fill the Shepard-shaped void left in my heart! Which is your favorite science-fiction universe in gaming?
