Mass Effect 3 "Against All Odds" Shepard vs. Reaper!

The much anticipated game of 2012, game trailer released on Spike TV's video game awards. This trailer looks all kinds of amazing! All sorts of action, explosions, gunshots all while Shepard is running through the disintegrating ground as he goes against the Reaper. The graphics and animation look so realistic, like right out of a movie and the action focuses right on the gameplay. And this is just a brief glimpse of what's in store for us! Looks like Mass Effect 3 will not be short of intense battles and insane gameplay!

In Mass Effect 3, an ancient alien race known only as "Reapers", has launched an all-out invasion of the galaxy, leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction. You, as Commander Shepard, must lead the counter assault to take it back. Only you can determine how events will play out, which planets you will save from annihilation and which alliances you will form or abandon as you rally the forces of the galaxy to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all.

Mass Effect Movie | Legendary Pictures Clears Up Misconceptions

As many of you may know Legendary Pictures will be working on a Mass Effect movie for the big screen.  Although in a recent Q&A website posted by Legendary Pictures, contradicted everything previously stated at this years Comic Con 2011 about the movie.  Well now the website has been updated clearing up the misunderstanding. 

Let me touch up on this a bit, for many that do not know Mass Effect.  Mass Effect is an award-winning, bestselling series of science fiction RPG third-person shooter video games developed by the Canadian company BioWare and released for the Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows and, from the second installment, for the PlayStation 3. The first game in the planned trilogy centers around a player created character named Commander Shepard and his/her mission to save the galaxy from a race of mechanical beings known as the Reapers, and its followers, including the brainwashed Saren Arterius. The first game sees Shepard facing Sovereign, a Reaper left as a vanguard, who plans to allow the Reaper fleet currently hibernating in extra-galactic dark space to invade the Milky Way and destroy all sapient organic life, continuing a mysterious cycle of destruction. The second game takes place two years later, and sees Shepard battling the Collectors, an alien race abducting entire human colonies in a plan to help the return of the Reapers. The third and final game will center on the final battle against the Reapers.

Since the beginning the series has been a major critical success. Both games have received critical acclaim for their storyline, characters, romances, voice acting, choices, tolerance of diversity, and the depth of the galaxy.[1][2][3] Video game website, GamesRadar, called Mass Effect the best new franchise of the generation, saying that the galaxy was so well-constructed that it felt like a decades-old franchise and that it represented "a high-water mark for video games as a story-telling medium."
