During an X05 press conference, Microsoft
revealed the identity of BioWare's previously undisclosed Xbox 360 project. What was widely believed to be Jade
Empire 2, turned out to be Mass Effect, the first title in a trilogy of games that will be exclusive to
the Xbox 360. Mass Effect is set 200 years in the future in a vast inter-galactic universe threatened by a
legendary agent gone rogue. Players will lead a group of freedom fighters in an effort to save—what else—the universe.
The trilogy will focus on the conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence.
The synopsis doesn't exactly grab us, but if BioWare's past efforts are any indication, Mass Effect should be able to hold its weight amongst next-gen RPGs and adds another weapon to the Xbox 360's growing arsenal.

Don't get me wrong, the production is impressive and they are obviously a skilled developer, I just can't get passed how horribly tedious they're games are.

Obviously you are playing the wrong sort of game if you don't enjoy reading.

however, when it comes to dialogue Paper Mario 2 wins that. that game was one of the worst i've ever played, mostly because of the dialogue, which was largely pointless. the characters talked for hours and were still flat (no pun intended).

It's hard to comment when no real details have been released, but the trailer on their website http://masseffect.bioware.com/ has got me interested, and BioWare has earned a pretty solid reputation for me. I'm looking forward to this one.

- Their cut scenes are basic & boring.
- They both have long load times.
- The dialog is lengthy, though this wouldn't be a problem if the cut scenes were more interesting.
- And then there are the bugs. I probably ran thru every bug possible when when i played thru KOTOR.
Hopefully they'll improve on their weaknesses with their next game.

Bioware consists of all around talented developers. I'm glad they are still working with Microsoft on the XBox and haven't jumped ship to the PS3 as was rumored in the latest EGM
Can't wait for this new one!
