From alien races to cleverly-adapted RPG tropes that received tech-y makeovers to suit their spacey setting, BioWare packed a ton of believability into what, at its core, was in many ways a conventional role-playing game with an ambitiously novel and fresh change of venue. EA BioWare's epic series will forever live rent-free in the hearts of millions of fans, especially the Xbox 360 players who were there from the start, as a sweeping saga that carved out a place for a proper Western RPG in territory far beyond high fantasy of old-world mages, knights, swords, castles, and dragons.Īt the time of its release in 2007, the first Mass Effect went farther than just about any other original sci-fi game to date in committing to building an original and totally unique sci-fi world. If the Halo franchise is gaming's definitive sci-fi space shooter, then the Mass Effect franchise - despite having a more muted gaming presence in recent years - is probably the definitive sci-fi space RPG.
