Stories about: Mass Effect |

Hollywood is certainly interested in making movies based on games. Probably because it's so hard these days for script writers to come up with a decent movie idea and it's much easier to just copy one from a game and add some side stories. Most of the recent movies based on games that we saw weren't O... |

I had my doubts about Fallout 3, especially when the less than stellar E3 videos appeared earlier in the summer. Now we have new videos from the PAX show and the game seems to be much more of a successor to the previous two versions than a simple, mod-like, Oblivion with guns game. What's still missing is a... |

Since Mass Effect was such a successful title, I believe that nobody is surprised to hear that Bioware is looking to milk as much money as possible out of their first game in the trilogy. With a PC version and a first downloadable content pack released, the developers of one of the most appreciated games ever are loo... |

When the PC version of the space faring role playing game Mass Effect was announced, BioWare and Electronic Arts said that the Bring Down the Sky downloadable content, which was already out on the Xbox 360, would be integrated on the PC port of the game on launch day. It wasn't so, mainly due to some technical i... |

Don't you just love it when politicians elected by people who barely know how to use the Internet and people who believe Fox News when it talks about Mass Effect decide to create laws that target videogames? The Governor of the state of New York, David Paterson, has decided to sign a bill that might see violent ... |

BioWare's Mass Effect is a sci-fi role playing game (RPG) that allows players to uncover the greatest threats to human civilization, as the first space voyagers.

BioWare is on the verge of wiping out the PC piracy problem. And the company will not do this by adding more and more DRM to its titles, as Electronic Arts might want. The way to get rid of pirates, the BioWare style, is to create copious amounts of downloadable content and to increase the fidelity of PC gamers.Ray M... |

When was the last time you sat down in front of a computer to fire up a role playing game or an adventure title, and then spent the next 6 hours staring at the screen as you leveled up, talked your way through dialog scenes and battled monsters? I bet that most of you will not remember the last occasion this happened... |

MTV Multiplayer has scored an interview with BioWare o-CEOs Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, who were kind enough to let the publication in on some of their plans for the future. These include sticking to the PC platform (pointing out to the success of Blizzard's WoW and Eidos' Age of Conan), but also tapping i... |

Last week, Electronic Arts dropped what might have been a bombshell in the gaming world, by announcing that both the PC version of Mass Effect and Spore would have a new kind of protection (I'll call it DRM) that would require the game to once activate through the Internet when it's installed and then to tr... |

When people heard the news regarding the once every 10 days SecuROM check for two of the most anticipated PC releases this year, Mass Effect and Spore, all hell broke loose and everybody became concerned about this problem. We shouldn't be afraid of losing our rights to play any of these games if we don't h... |

The fight against piracy will reach new and unbelievable heights, since two of the most expected PC games to be released this year, Spore and Mass Effect, will require an online validation every ten days in order to function. Even though it seems, at start, a good decision and something that might put an end to PC ga... |

Electronic Arts has released a statement announcing a 10 dollar reduction in price for all those who pre-order the PC version of Mass Effect.

Many people felt a deep pain when Bioware was acquired by Electronic Arts, with lots of them fearing the fact that the studio might loose its edge and even disband under EA leadership. But with a MMO in development and a Sonic themed RPG in queue as well, Bioware seems to be thriving. The success of their latest game... |

As the launch date of May 26 is approaching fast, Electronic Arts has recently revealed the system specifications for the PC version of its Xbox 360 hit Mass Effect.

Not Polish as in "country of origin = Poland" but rather polish as "the action where you repeatedly pass a rag over a shiny surface to make it even more shiny, until you drop dead from exhaustion." In a post dated April 7 on the game forums, Chris Priestly, who is Community Coordinator for Bioware, has announced that... |

Dragon Age has been in production since early 2004. And that, in an industry where development cycles are getting shorter by the year, could mean one of two things. Either the game is being polished to perfection and each and every element of it is being tweaked to perfectly reflect the intentions of the developer, o... |

Mass Effect was one of the best games of 2007 and a clear shot in the arm for a suffering RPG genre. BioWare made a great game, Microsoft marketed it well, it sold well. So it was bound to spawn a sequel. Well, in the case of Mass Effect, two sequels which BioWare is currently working hard on, while at the same time ... |

Microsoft is, for once, keeping its word regarding games. Maybe DirectX 10 isn't all that it was supposed to be and maybe Vista ain't that "games friendly" operating system it was meant to be, but as sure as I am writing this Microsoft has released the first downloadable content pack for its RPG smash hit M... |

We already know that BioWare has made our day by announcing that it plans to release the beloved RPG Mass Effect for PC sooner than anybody would've hoped - this May, but the details were pretty scarce. We knew that the game will be "re-designed" and that was enough to make us hope for a great PC experience and ... |

There were quite some people expecting to hear this piece of news, but I doubt any of them were that optimistic regarding the release of Mass Effect, the PC version. Well, in what seems to be a little shocker, EA's Bioware has announced that the beloved RPG will be released for the PC in May 2008, fully re-desig... |

It was a complete madness when Fox News and their rubbish Mass Effect news report got into the gamers' attention and the entire hell broke loose. Since then, Electronic Arts had a little fight with the news channel, psychologist Cooper Lawrence had her book trashed over Amazon and eventually admitted that she ta... |

It is good too see that the latest scandal involving Mass Effect and Fox News didn't have a negative impact on the Xbox exclusive and we will get the first downloadable content pack for the blockbuster on the 10th of March this year. Over 1.6 million gamers will be happy to hear that "Bring Down the Sky" will be... |

This whole Fox News vs Video Games scandal started when the news network made some rubbish reports regarding Mass Effects and its pornography - everything by some folks that have never played the game. EA Sports issued a response, Fox responded to EA's response since all these happened and gamers all over the wo... |

To keep it as short as possible, here is what happened in the past few days: Fox News had an outrageous (both for the gamers, who knew what they were talking about, as well as the parents, who probably had no idea) material about Mass Effect, which was described as "Luke Skywalker meets 'Debbie Does Dallas'... |

Mass Effect from Bioware is without any doubt the most promising RPG we've seen on the Xbox 360. Even if it's been plagued by some weird bugs and it drew a lot of attention with a nudity scandal, Bioware's title remains a must-have. If you're not scared by the long and arduous conversations the ga... |

EA has already acted against Fox News' latest controversial material regarding Mass Effect, but the gamers seem to have the situation in their own hands and strike back against Cooper Lawrence (the psychologist who took part in the biased strike on the game). This way she would probably understand how it feels l... |

The Fox News channel managed to piss off every single person who knows at least the basics of video games and have played that great game called Mass Effect for at least 30 minutes (like there would be somebody who could stop playing after just 30 minutes!). To keep it short, because you most likely know what it is a... |

Will Mass Effect be the new Manhunt 2? It's already following in its footsteps, being a highly anticipated title that gets leaked on the Internet and then gets banned. However, the ban is not as serious as it was in the case of Manhunt, because it only applies to Singapore and its gamers. The decision was taken... |

If you think that a little girl-on-girl action never hurt anybody then you are sadly mistaking. Case in point, Singapore's Media Development Authority found the lesbian scene featuring two females, one human and one alien, in Bioware's upcoming title Mass Effect, a tad too spicy and hard to swallow. And whi... |

With old arcade games launching on every next-gen console out there, you must wonder: So when am I to expect some real games for my powerful PS3 /360/Wii?" I mean, yeah sure, classics are great and all, but I didn't get my Xbox 360 to play Gyruss and 333 old Xbox games. I want to see some high definition content... |
