If you bought one of the launch copies of Mass Effect: Deception, you now own a collector’s item. Both BioWare and Del Ray know that what happened with this spin-off book is not okay. As a result, BioWare’s Chris Priestly posted on the BioWare Social Network forums to let fans know the companies are working more »

If there’s one thing fans know, it’s every single canonical detail about their favorite games. Should someone come along and introduce a new entry in the series that isn’t right, the fans will make their voices heard. Case in point is Mass Effect: Deception. William C. Dietz was tapped to write this entry instead of more »

Now see, this is why you have to watch those game trailers companies release. Sometimes, they show footage you’ve already seen before or don’t have anything important, but every once in a while you get a glimmer of goodness. A new Mass Effect 3 trailer appeared briefly on the internet, heralding the various Kinect features. more »

One of the big reveals for the 2011 Video Game Awards on Spike was a new Mass Effect 3 trailer. Now, it wasn’t the FemShep trailer fans have been waiting for. (Serious, why is that taking so long?) Instead, it provided almost two minutes of in-game footage showing Commander Shepard and two of his crew as they raced to complete a mission on Tuchanka, the Krogan homeworld, before a Reaper shot and/or stepped on them.

Spike’s uploaded all the world premiere trailers from the event, so let’s go ahead and watch the one for Mass Effect 3 right now….

Fans of BioWare and EA’s Mass Effect series will be pleased to know there’s a whole new line of collectibles to, well, collect. Get ready for action figures. Actually, the odds are you’ve been ready for some time. The first batch of figures, which featured pint-sized replicas of John Shepard, Grunt, Tali and Thane actually was released by DC Direct in limited quantities. However, the second series never appeared, the first series vanished and no one knew if we’d ever see any of them again.

The BioWare Store is now showing product listings for all the Mass Effect 2 action figures…

The Mass Effect 3 rumors we were hearing, and perhaps hoping were false, have been been validated. PC PowerPlay has gotten first dibs on talking to BioWare about Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Saving the entire galaxy might not just be in the hands of Commander Shepard this time around.

The full reveal will be in PCPP‘s November 2011 issue, which will be on sale in Australia on October 19, 2011…

That Mass Effect movie is actually going to happen. Yes, I know it’s been three years since the 2007 game was optioned and over a year since Legendary Pictures got the rights to make a movie based on it. It’s finally moving forward now, and the Legendary Pictures July 22, 2011 panel at Comic-Con International 2011 in San Diego will tell us how things are going and give attendees to talk about it.

Legendary Pictures first got the all clear to work on a Mass Effect movie back in May 2010. From there, the project completely dropped from the radar…

You loved playing Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, so EA and Funimation are betting you’ll like watching it too. The two entertainment powerhouses are working with T.O Entertainment to put together a Mass Effect anime. Well, techincally an animated, direct to video movie. So I guess that would make it a Mass Effect OVA (original video animation).

There are no details on the Mass Effect OVA’s storyline…

Spring is in full swing on Xbox Live as three brand new titles blossom into the arcade in all their glory. All three launch at only 800 Microsoft Points ($10) as well.

Remember our good friend Saren from the original Mass Effect game? Ah, that xenophobic madman brings back so many memories.

Well, if you’ve been missing Saren after thwarting his plans in the Mass Effect, you can witness his return to the series. No, it isn’t the next Mass Effect game. He’s showing up in the next issue of the comic book series Mass Effect: Evolution.
