Bioware RPG. Sci-Fi setting. Open-ended gameplay. That pretty much sums up all of the awesome things about Mass Effect.

Apparently at E3 there were a lot of closed-door previews of this game. People heard of it, but never saw it. Well, only a day or two ago, a 4 minute preview video showing off parts of Mass Effect was released to the masses (lol).

YouTube.com movie.

I'm loving what it's shaping up to be right now. The very brief shots of in-game looked sexy as hell (considering how early on in the piece it is), and the dialogue seems definately a lot more fleshed out than a lot of other RPGs of this size. I really like the cinematic touches that appear when you're speaking to NPCs.
