Bioware talks possible Mass Effect spinoffs

May 13, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 59 Comments

Shepherd's Mass Effect story is over, but that doesn’t mean that the universe isn’t ripe for picking, and there’s a multitude of stories within the Universe that could make for their own spinoff games.

Mass Effect 3 celebrates a year of multiplayer

March 11, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 17 Comments

TAAAAAAALI! Ahem. Can you believe that it’s been a year since Mass Effect 3 launched? Since then, the game has done pretty darn well, minus the colour-coded ending controversy that is. That’s a year of multiplayer operations and teamwork, summed up in one number-heavy infographic.

Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC gives the crew some shore leave

March 5, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 15 Comments

It’s been a year since Mass Effect 3 launched, and despite a rocky ending controversy, it’s been a damn good ride. A constant stream of DLC, multiplayer events and cupcakes have kept the Normandy crew in deep space for a while now, but even they need shore leave. But not the kind that consists of dodgy ladies waiting at the pier and Space-TDs. Citadel does just that, as the final DLC is packed with content to give the Normandy crew a grand finale. Here’s the trailer for that upcoming slice of gameplay.

These amazing Mass Effect characters aren’t official

February 8, 2013 at 6:00 pm | 18 Comments

We all know that a fourth Mass Effect game is on the way, although it’s not going to be Mass Effect 4. Our money is on it being a prequel. Because rule of three, gaming industry. With a new game comes new characters, worlds and vehicles. What will they look like? Who knows, but if Bioware wants to design the future with some real talent, they’re going to need to take a gander at the portfolio of these amazing artists.

Where the next Mass Effect fits

February 7, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 26 Comments

There’s an air of the unknown about the next game set in the Mass Effect universe. What we do know is that it won;t feature Commander Shepard, and that it’ll run on the Frostbite 2.0 engine instead of the Unreal engine that’s powered the previous games. And now Bioware’s filled in a few more blanks.

A non-specific release date for the next Mass Effect

Apparently it is news that as any one could probably have estimated, the next Mass Effect game will release in one and a half to two years time. So I’m totally writing about it.

The next Mass Effect 3 DLC is going to make you cry

December 6, 2012 at 12:45 pm | 37 Comments

Hands down, I’ve got to admit that Mass Effect 3 has had the best support this year for extra content, minus that whole mess with the ending. Extra multiplayer packs, most of which were free, as well as several DLC packs to fill in gaps with the story, have really complemented the game. And Bioware still isn’t finished adding more to the tale, as their next bit of DLC is going to be a tear-jerker apparently.

The Black Ops II PC Disc Screw Up

November 13, 2012 at 3:45 pm | 22 Comments

Oh boy; somebody’s gonna get a-hurt real bad. Some users are reporting that their PC copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II are pretty useless – because they’re unable to install the second disc. Why not?

Mass Effect 4 is official, will run on DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine

November 13, 2012 at 9:00 am | 51 Comments

Mass Effect 4 was pretty much made official last week thanks to a little bit of tweeting from BioWare, but now, it’s super-official, according to a new blog post from Montreal studio director Yanick Roy. The next cycle is coming, and it’s going to look damn pretty, as it’ll make full use of the Frostbite 2 engine that Battlefield developer DICE has been toiling away on.

Tell BioWare what you want to see in a new Mass Effect game

November 9, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 49 Comments

Hey, remember that other big budget game that came out this year? The one wherein I had a dangerously stalker-level attachment to that one character who dresses in skin-tight clothing and wears a gas-mask? Mass Effect 3 came out months ago already, and despite some issues with the final act, the game was damn good overall. The Reaper threat is finally over, sort of, and it’s time to look to the future, according to executive producer Casey Hudson.

This might be the fugliest Mass Effect toy ever

November 5, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 23 Comments

The line-up of figures in the Play Arts collection from Square Enix is usually pretty damn purdy and detailed. Fans love ‘em, people want ‘em and they sell well. And then you get this particular figure, based on the iconic visage of Captain Shepard from Mass Effect 3, which has somehow turned the hero into a burn victim.

Well slap me sideways with a rainbow coloured trout, it’s finally weekend. This week has been way, way, way too long. It’s time to kick back and relax and maybe watch this sneak preview of the Mass Effect: Paragon Lost anime movie.

There’s still some more Mass Effect on the way, new games and DLC detailed

September 19, 2012 at 11:15 am | 15 Comments

You can’t keep a good franchise down, and even though the galactic war with the Reapers may have ended in one of several colour-coded epilogues, Mass Effect will still live on. Bioware has plans for their franchise, as they’ve begun discussions on a brand new cycle of cover-shooting and biotic boosts, alongside some new DLC for Mass Effect 3.
