Little late with the new screenshots, as I have been having some computer problems, but here are some nice ones, also now available from the first post.

Some Direct Links to Screenshots:

Also, adding 1up to the list of sites with coverage at the top. If I have the time, I may be able to scrounge up some new previews too!

-EDIT-

Well, I forgot that I had opted in this thread out of having general sites being put in, but I may have to soon. I added both 1up previews.

A Gamespot E3 update... Seems to be looking good thus far.

There is a new video demo for Mass Effect at GameTrailers. Its right [url="http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2211"]here[/url]. From the video demo, it plays like a 3rd person squad-based shooter like Freedom Fighters for example. Bioware should be commended for doing a great job on the game as it looks kind of fun from that video demo. :)

There is a recent article in Gamespy which talks about the main villain you will encounter in Mass Effect. His name is Saren Arterius. For more details, look [url="http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/mass-effect/758826p1.html"]here[/url].

There's been a rumour going around that June will be the release date for Mass Effect. Read this [url="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=161151"]article[/url] for more information. According to the article, it mentioned that the official site seem to have gone into media overdrive and also the fact that Ray Muzyka told IGN that the game will not make it's debut on E3. Looks like it will be possible that Mass Effect will be out by June. :)

You're welcome. Glad to be of assistance. :) Kind of odd, though. I don't own an XBox 360 (let alone any console) and yet, I'm up to date with quite a number of non-PC games. :D

There is a recent [url="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=164821"]interview[/url] on [url="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/"]Computer and Videogames[/url]. Kind of amazed as to the effort Bioware put into Mass Effect. Hope all this pays off. :)

Gamespot was covering the Microsoft press event at E3 and it was confirmed that November is the release date for Mass Effect ([url="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6174020.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;1"]link[/url]). It's pretty lengthy, I admit, since the author detailed what went on during the whole event. I'll quote the exact passage from that article:

[Quote=Gamespot's E3 coverage][8:46] MASS EFFECT COMING IN NOVEMBER![/Quote]

Darn, now it's gone from September to November? Well, I'll have plenty of things to hold me over at least, like Hunting and football (live in Wiscky, what can I say?) and Halo 3. I sure hope that the release date being pushed back so much is worth it, because it already looks like a fantastic game. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't push it back to christmas. Here's to the long wait. :)

Mass Effect very glitchy?

:(
Well I've been playing it for a few days now and am getting sick of it crashing/locking up, I've got the official patch to no apparent affect. Error messages, on the occasions they appear, are many and varied - generally stating that a variety of files are missing etc. It seems to be getting worse as well, I've begun to get blue screens of death now as well - yet all my drivers are up to date and the minimum system requirements are met????
Darned shame as it seems a potentially very good game, checking the official Forums this seems to be such a common problem that the main thread on it has gone well into double figures with no apperant resolution or a responce from the creators :mad:
