Sackboy and Commander Shepard team up this week to bring you the Mass Effect Costume Pack containing this great collection of costumes first seen in BioWare’s epic sci-fi saga!
Many of us get kind of teary-eyed when thinking about how Mass Effect has allowed us to transfer Commander Shepard across three games over the last five years.

Do you know what today is? Why, it's Commander Shepard's birthday! I can't believe some of you forgot. Read more...
Saving the world from the Reapers is hard work. That's why Commander Shepard also made sure to enjoy the finer things in life: booze, sex and partying. Let's playfully reminisce on the the debauchery of Mass Effect, shall we? Read more...
Commander Shepard, hero of the Citadel, last hope of humanity, could well spend the rest of his or her life rotting on a hard drive. Read more...

Most of you who played Mass Effect 3 are just too nice. You were paragons. I was a renegade. Most of you played as a male commander Shepard. I played as a female. But just about all of us cured the genophage. More »
If you’ve played Mass Effect, you’ve probably been thankful for Medi-Gel and its ability to save your Commander Shepard. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something similar in real life?
