Mass Effect Preview - Xbox 360We've been waiting for Mass Effect for so long now, and given that developer Bioware has a pedigree that stretches back to Baldur's Gate via the likes of KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic), you'll know why Mass Effect for the Xbox 360 has us so excited. Bioware is a story teller par excellence and this first part of a trilogy promises to deliver even more advanced RPG elements than their previous outings and drop dead gorgeous visuals. Mass Effect is also more of a blurring of the line between FPS and RPG, which Bioware began in KOTOR. Not to worry though, because Mass Effect isn't a complete reinvention of the RPG, as you'll see in our Mass Effect preview. You still look to develop your character with psychic power and tech power ups when you improve, which will sound very familiar to the KOTOR fans out there. Read our Mass Effect preview for Xbox 360 now to find out more!  Mass Effect Preview - Xbox 360 Gazing up at the inky darkness of space, you’d be forgiven for thinking our constant guides, the twinkling stars, are lifeless and endlessly benign – despite all the scare-mongering in science fiction about menacing alien lifeforms...It's with just such optimism that the humans of Mass Effect saunter to the nether regions of the galaxies of the 23rd century… only to find the beasties of bad seventies TV shows aren’t a patch on the ravenous monsters that are really lurking ‘out there’. It turns out space is about as welcoming as a foul-breathed auntie wearing only a bra of iron spikes, who’s desperate for a kiss and a cuddle. Life in Bioware’s latest space RPG certainly seems tough – which is just the way we like it. You play Commander Shephard, an earthling in command of the Normandy spaceship. It’s pretty clear from the off that you don’t fly your ship with your own far-too-important-forthat- sort-of-thing hands. Instead, you instruct your crew on your destination and whether you need to stop off for a burger or kill off a race of warhungry aliens along the way. There’s plenty of time to get your mits dirty, mind. As a potential Spectre (a guardian of the universe, no less) you’re charged with proving your worth through a series of trials.
