Mass Effect for the Xbox 360 doesn’t have a firm release date yet, but it’s sure looking like a winner if screenshots and trailers can be believed.

BioWare released several new shots during the GDC and this game is just looking spectacular. Offering play for one person, Mass Effect is a space age RPG that look like it blends the fantastic storyline of games like Oblivion with the fast-action shooting of Halo.

The game has players taking on the role of Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy. It is their mission to take an elite recon squad across a galaxy to stop an enemy before it’s too late.

“To stop this enemy, you must act without remorse, without hesitation, and outside the limits of the law," instructs the game's official site. "Your only imperative is to preserve the safety of civilized life in the galaxy - at any cost. You must become the tip of the spear of humanity, for you alone know the full extent of what is at stake if you should fail.”

It sounds like Mass Effect has some very good customization features on both the main character and the RPG involved. The screen shots, as I’ve said, look amazing. If the substance matches, this could be a hard game to beat.

There’s no set date on a release, but it looks like BioWare is planning to turn it loose before the end of the year.
