Guide Note

Mass Effect (PC) is a science-fiction Role-Playing game for the PC that is a conversion (rather than a port) of the game of the same name for the Xbox 360 set in 2183 AD. This version contains new content as well as improved graphics. You take on the main role of Commander Shepard in a story that is mixed with action and a deep story line. There are various themes in the game that follow those of a space opera, exploring themes such as space colonization, intolerance, vigilantism, and artificial intelligence. A book was published that serves as a prequel to the game, Mass Effect: Revelation and there are plans to develop two additional sequels to complete the trilogy.

Synopsis

The game's Project Manager, Casey Hudson, described the game as follows:
"Inside the game universe, mass effect is a newly discovered (for humans anyway) physics phenomenon that has properties along the lines of other physics forces such as gravity and electromagnetism. It’s what physicists in real life are currently calling “dark energy”, as an explanation for the accelerating expansion of the universe — which has only recently been discovered and flies in the face of the previous notion that the universe’s expansion should be slowing down because of gravity."
