Gaming: Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 3, the final chapter to the Mass Effect series has finally come out, and from day one there are DLC, which I'll get to later.

Mass Effect is an epic science fiction game series in which the player play as the character of Commander Shepherd. The character can be male or female to what every the player preference is.
The big thing about Mass Effect is the player can play their character through all three Mass Effect games with choices they have made in previous games carry over the following game.

I am a big fan of the Mass Effect series, and was excited about Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect series had some of the best story in gaming, and Mass Effect 3 doesn't disappoint.
I've already played though the single player story once, and with out spilling any spoilers, the game does a great job at bring conclusion to the Mass Effect story. My only little grip was the ending. It isn't a bad ending, and I don't have any real problem with it, but it left a little bitter taste in my mouth because I didn't expect it to end that way.
On the other hand the ending does hit a huge problem to allot of gamers in a way that there is a movement to force EA and Bioware to change the ending of Mass Effect 3, I'll post more later on that too.
As always the gameplay is amazing, and the controls feels solid. The Xbox 360 also adds Kinect support which also makes the game more immersive in which I can speak out commands to order my squad mates in real time.
The voice acting is also once again top notch, and the music is as epic as ever.
Bioware has once again crafted an amazing single player game, but Mass Effect 3 is the first in the series to add multiplayer.

The multiplayer from what little I've played seems fun. The only thing that keeps me away from the multiplayer is the fact that people playing Mass Effect 3 online are complete jerks!
My first online game I was kicked for no reason. Second game because of my ranking was blasted by one gamer because of my ranking.

To the unnamed gamer: It's just a game! You don't have to insult, cuss and berate me for being new and trying to play my first game of Mass Effect 3 online! That out of the way...

Mass Effect 3 online plays allot like Gears Of War Horde mode in which four players play co-op together to defeat waves of computer controlled AI enemies. This may not seem new or original, but the twist is that all the things done in online muliplayer has an effect in the single player campaign too. I will add more as I play more online free of complete jerks.
