Mass Effect 3

For the sake of this review, I will judge the game based on my experience, based off my Commander Shepard (a male who looked like the guy that you picked on in grade school). This review will talk about the ramifications of MY choices throughout the...

The story continues from previous saves, which gives the player ownership over what happens ; Graphically, the game is gorgeous ; The Sci-Fi soundtrack still makes me smile ; The game generates true emotion for those who have invested the time and...

Series moves further away from the RPG model and becomes more of an action shooter ; Can get glitchy (once had an entire conversation with an empty screen) ; For some, the ending can be a disappointment

Also, the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3 is enabled for Kinect. Calling out squad commands during battle, and using your voice to change weapons is neat, and all dialogue options can be made via voice. It gives a whole new perspective to the series.

Mass Effect 3 Playtest: A Stellar Story With A Bitter End

Also, we're hosting an informal Mass Effect 3 meet up on PSN. Message me at Mariye1982 after 9PM EST (6PM PST). See you online!

If you’ve read the leaked script, then you won’t face too many surprises. Even a lot of the dialogue is word-for-word.

Mass Effect 3 Review

My face is not my own. I imagine you've heard this before (probably from me), but the details really do matter. Now, it would take a really petty person to base an entire review off the fact that Mass Effect 3 couldn't properly import the face I...

There are certain set-pieces that… no, damn it… I promised myself I wouldn’t cry…

Mass Effect 3 Review

Back when Mass Effect was being shown at E3 back in 2007, Canadian studio BioWare - before they were bought and made a subsidiary of EA - didn't seem like they were cemented so well as the legends of game design as they are today. Sure, they'd created...

Nearly all of the game's plots and subplots lead up to a major confrontation that is so closely tied to your accomplishments as Commander Shepard that it's hard to compare this game to nearly anything else. Sure, every player will fight the Reapers in...

Mass Effect 3

Throughout mankind's history when we observe the stars and heavens above, our imagination and curiosity run wild. Thoughts emerge such as "Are we alone?" and "I wonder what's out there?" and our quest to explore the heavens is born. Millions of...

Mass Effect 3

Commander Shepard has it rough. Saving the galaxy is a tall order, and doing it three times? Well, that's just silly. Some people deserve a little R&R, but not good ol' Shepard. You'd think that all this running around, shooting, punching, and yelling...

As a story-driven experience, Mass Effect 3 has the unenviable task of wrapping up a trilogy, which it does, for the most part. It’s also strayed quite far from where Mass Effect started, and while the game itself has certainly improved, there are fans...

Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect, over the years, has been quite the chameleon. At first, it started as a pretty RPG heavy title that involved tons of customization and obtuse design choices. Then it evolved into possibly the most streamlined product Bioware had ever produced

Mass Effect 3 Review

Mass Effect 3 is a remarkably satisfying conclusion to a beloved trilogy, and a poignant and memorable role-playing action game in its own right.

Fantastic, moving story that balances plot and character ; Past and present choices impact the game in wonderful and unexpected ways ; Much-improved level design leads to challenging, exciting battles ; Fantastic art design makes great use of color and...

Some glitches and bugs ; Galactic travel and scanning aren't much fun

The series' focus on player choice is as vital as it has ever been in Mass Effect 3. The effects of choices in previous installments have an impact in extraordinary ways here, more so than in Mass Effect 2. Sometimes the nods to prior choices are...

Mass Effect 3 Hands-On Preview

The New York Comic Con had quite a few surprises when it hit the Jacob Javits Center from October 13-16, and one of those was found hiding on a single side of the Microsoft booth. Six stations played host to a playable demo of Mass Effect 3. Though the...
