I can't believe there's not a Mass Effect thread on here already!!!!!

Mass Effect is a game for Xbox 360 coming out in November. It's made by Bioware, the same team that made Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and Jade Empire. KOTOR is one of the best games I've ever played...it was amazing for its time, especially since it came out of nowhere and had almost zero hype. It was one of the highest rated games on XBox. Combining Star Wars with an RPG style worked out better than anyone expected. It had amazing graphics, awesome gameplay, great characters, incredible voice work, and a plot that many consider better than the Star Wars movies.

The spiritual successor to the KOTOR series is Mass Effect, a new RPG by Bioware. It takes place in our universe (the beginning of the game actually takes place in our solar system) and is the beginning of a trilogy. I won't go into detail about the plot but you're basically saving the universe from the main bad guy (Saren) who's teamed up with the Geth. You visit dozens (literally) of planets and take control of every conversation in the game. You can be good or bad. The main character is Shepard and again you're able to customize your character to look or act in any way you want. Shepard actually talks and is a main character in the story arc.

Here's some screenshots (which look unbelievable if you ask me since they're all in-game):
