Mass Effect 3 Revealed

Final instalment in Bioware’s sci-fi trilogy set for 2011 release.
Bioware confirmed at Saturday’s Spike VGA awards that the hotly anticipated Mass Effect 3 will be out in 2011.
While the original Mass Effect was exclusive to the Xbox 360, with its sequel still awaiting release on PlayStation 3 – it will finally hit European shelves on January 21, 2011 – EA has confirmed that the final part of Bioware’s sci-fi trilogy will release simultaneously on 360, PS3 and PC, according to IGN.
The game’s debut trailer may show no gameplay footage but there is still plenty to catch the eye. It implies a shift in focus back to Earth and London specifically, with various alien craft making a right mess of the Houses Of Parliament.
A sniper fires from inside the face of Big Ben, with an apparently English-accented voiceover explaining that Earth is under attack as a male Shepard watches on from space. See for yourself below.

ME3 and TEC V around the same time, gives me the goosebumps.

Me too except I hated those kind of RPGs back then. Recently, my taste has evolved to include the genre of "where art thou swords," mages and elfkind.
I'm really loving Dragon Age one, like my own son.

Lol, Oblivion was only the 2nd RPG I'd ever played (Kotor 1 being the first) and I really liked it. Favorite 360 game up to this point and possibly my favorite game of all time. The openness to it really pulled me in, the music was excellent, and the level system was (and still is) my favorite in an RPG.
I couldn't get into Dragon Age although I probably didn't give it a fair shake. I'm playing literally nothing right now since I can't get into Fable 3 for the life of me (and other reasons keeping me away from games lol). Maybe I'll give Dragon Age another shot when I muster up some free time.
Glad to hear you're expanding your gaming horizon.

When I joined the Dark Brotherhood, and had to murder that guy in his bed, it was one of those "Jesus Christ this is fucking genius" gaming moments that I'm now finding harder and harder to come by. I played Oblivion a good 60 hours without even touching the main quest, and I've never been sucked into a game world like that in 20 years gaming.
Day 1 purchase for the sequel.
