E3 - Mass Effect Awards and Press Coverage

The press got a great look at Mass Effect and fired off previews in every direction. Check out some of the coverage:

IGN.com "If nothing else, Mass Effect looks sure to have a story that everybody needs to witness multiple times to see just how many ways everything can play out. It's tough to describe what we saw without spoiling a very cool moment, so we'll just say this; it was mind blowing." Read preview.

GameSpy "We left the demo coated in goose bumps, rubbing our arms in a vain attempt to somehow shake the persistent shivers that shook our moral compasses to the very core; it's that intense." Read preview.

1UP.com "Developer Bioware evolves everything that helped make Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic one of the best role-playing games ever, and does it without any license." Read preview.

TeamXbox "I think I speak for a lot of Xbox 360 owners when I say that Mass Effect is one of the most anticipated games of the year." Read preview.

Dragon Age Writer Dishes Up Some Sass to the World of Science

Dragon Age writer Mary Kirby nicely explains the fit of logic and rationality when it comes to dragons:

"The dragons in The DAS are not 300 feet long. Remember this picture? They're big, but they still, y'know, fit on the screen.

Could a creature that large fly? Does it really matter? It flies. Whether or not it could if it existed in the real world is beside the point. You're not going to be able to defeat one of these in game by explaining to it rationally that its heart doesn't have the capacity to pump blood all the way to its brain, or that its skeleton should not logically be able to withstand the forces exerted by its movements."
