X05 is officially rocking and some pretty major news has been rolling out today. The biggest so far, in my book, is word of BioWare s next big title. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games that will be on the Xbox 360 only. Here s Microsoft s official description:

Mass Effect(MGS-BioWare Corp.).
Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity.

Sounds sweet, but it s no Jade Empire 2.
