Mass Effect, the newest game to come from RPG giant BioWare, sees players taking on the role of an elite human Spectre agent, Commander Shepard.
Shepard is "entrusted with keeping law and order in the galaxy" and "uncovers a threat so great it could destroy all life". And that's pretty bad. So, Shepard being a righteous man, sets off to try and save everybody from certain doom.
As players "explore the uncharted edges of the galaxy, they come closer to an overwhelming truth — learning that the placid and serene universe they know is about to come to a violent end and that they are the only being who can stop it. Throughout Shepard’s exploits, players will face morally challenging decisions that will impact the future of all races, and how humans are ultimately viewed on the galactic stage." Hence the name Mass Effect. Clever, eh?
The game is due in November this year, and you can hit the jump to see the new trailer.
