Mass Effect: 10 Best Wrex Memes
Throughout the original Mass Effect trilogy, Commander Shepard is blessed with a great collection of allies. One of his most powerful and useful friends is Urdnot Wrex.

BioWare Explains Why The Mass Effect Movie Never Happened
In a new interview, BioWare’s Mac Walters talked about the canceled Mass Effect movie, and why a TV adaptation might make far more sense.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Bugs Are Still Plentiful – And Hilarious
As we’ve previously reported, Mass Effect Legendary Edition launched with a decent amount of bugs. Luckily for fans who waited patiently for the RPG trilogy to get a remaster, most of the issues aren’t game-breaking. Instead, the games (especially the first one) are littered with character model bugs, as limbs grow outstretched and companions continuously get […]
Playing The Mass Effect Trilogy For The First Time In 2021

Mass Effect’s Bars Are Proof Of Its Great World Building
There has been a collective excitement bubbling around Britain for the past few weeks as pubs have started to reopen, but that excitement has largely passed me by. I’m glad that restaurants are opening up, that small businesses can start to gain some footing, and that we can hopefully start to catch a glimpse of […]
Mass Effect Has Nature, Mass Effect 2 Has Urbanism, Mass Effect 3 Has Neither
From snowscapes and shattered relics of an ancient civilization to plague-infested highrises and the Mass Effect equivalent of a gamified James Bond movie, the artistic shift from Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 is stark, striking, and spectacular. The first game brilliantly articulates the enormous, unquantifiable scale of the universe by going hard on environmental […]
Mass Effect 3: Should You Cure The Genophage? The Choice And Its Consequences
Since the first Mass Effect, Bioware laid down the foundation for a number of different storylines that would come to a head by the time Mass Effect 3 begins. Among the more memorable is that surrounding the sterility virus forced on the Krogan — also known as the genophage. The virus was meant to keep the […]
