game spotlight: mass effect


^ Protagonist Commander Shepard bonds with Liara, a biotics trained scientist and archeologist of the alien race known as Asari. | Sorry, fellow iPhone owners, but I couldn't find the YouTube version of these clips so why not watch the official promotional trailer instead.

In-game interactive cutscenes from game studio Bioware's sci-fi action RPG Mass Effect, featuring strong writing, dialogue, and characterization influenced by the films of Hollywood, with the philosophical and humanistic overtones of episodic stories like in the television show Star Trek spiced with a tasteful, respectable, and responsible handling of mature themes that is rare in the games industry.

Commander Shepard (who can be a man or woman depending on player preference) really bonds with Liara. Awwww, interspecies space love! | No YouTube version was available of this clip but here is another scene involving a well respected Asari consort and a beautiful black female Shepard.
