The one game which I am willing to kill for to get my hands on the moment it comes out in time for the 2011 holidays is from video game developer BioWare. BioWare created a scifi-rpg franchise four years ago which has consumed my life everytime a new one in the series comes out. First there was Mass Effect then just this past January was it’s bigger follow-up Mass Effect 2. It looks like Mass Effect 3 will once again consume my time and life in the end of 2011.
From the look of the trailer the foreboding scenes in the end of the last game will culminate in the extra-galactic terror machines called “The Reapers” heading for Earth to once and for all stop the race who spawned the one man who dared challenge it’s millenia-long cyclical harvesting of all organic life from the galaxy. The fact that I am that human who stops them has no bearing on just how awesome this game franchise has been.
It will be the final game in this series as announced by BioWare, but I won’t be surprised if the universe created by this franchise continues on using a different name with a new set of heroes and villains. In the end, this game and any that follow it up will have one thing in common. A galaxy to save, a game as close to cinematic as we’ve ever seen and me as it’s savior.
Through the Shattered Lens 
I can’t wait for this to come out. I picked up the original Mass Effect about ta month before Mass Effect 2 came out and was totally absorbed by it. As a fan of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, I liked the way you could set up attack patterns for the members of your group, and choose who you wanted to take with you on missions. I preferred Garrus and Tali for the most part. In Mass Effect 2, I still have to finish it, but am loving the story. That and it’s cool to see Tali again here.
This definitely looks exciting! 🙂

Mass Effect 2 was more about action and less on the rpg gameplay but I thought it made the game move forwards faster thus better. I loved being a Vanguard in ME2.
