Developed by BioWare, creators of Baldur's Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect is an epic next-gen RPG released worldwide in November 2007 for the Xbox 360.

Taking on the role of Commander Shepard, you lead an elite squad on a heroic, action-packed adventure throughout the galaxy. In the not-too-distant future mankind discovers alien technology on Mars that allows them to begin exploring the galaxy by finding and activating "mass effect relays" that have been lying dormant, left behind by an ancient alien civilisation that disappeared 50,000 years ago. Humans are able to join in with the galaxy's other species and begin to spread across worlds.

Not everyone is pleased with these events, however. Some species resent how quickly the humans have established a strong presence, and a traitorous elite Spectre agent named Saren has turned rogue and is pursuing his own agenda.

Mass Effect allows for open-ended gameplay amidst a deep, immersive story and is presented in a cinematic style.
