EXPERT REVIEW

They say that gaming is a male dominant activity -- the killing of aliens, slaughtering of zombies, and multiplayer shooters are not something that girls usually enjoy. But I guess that is about to change; Mass Effect, the latest game from Bioware, is an epic sci-fi story, with exceptional production values and great conversation systems, that helps build the story.

Coming back to my irrelevant point about girls liking this game, the reason is simple, there's a lot of chatting involved in the game, so there you have it, finally a game that the girls can relate to.

Jokes apart, what we have in Mass Effect is one of the most brilliantly crafted games ever. An Action-RPG that delivers on every front and creates a virtual universe that is fictional, yet very believable. There are quite a few glitches in the game, but compared to the whole package, they are negligible. Read on to learn more about Mass Effect.
