We’re nearly a month away from the Nov. 20 launch date for “Mass Effect,” and we’d like to continue giving you a rundown of the main characters that you’ll encounter in the game.
Meet Ashley Madeline Williams, gunnery chief of the 2nd Frontier Division on Eden Prime. During training, she certified proficient with the standard-issue M7 Lancer assault rifle and light and standard weight combat hardsuits. Among her notable characteristics are her steadfast endurance and aggressive instincts, which have made her into a reliable and dedicated non-commissioned officer. Every year since enlistment, she has used her mandatory week of leave to visit her family on Amaterasu. In 2181, she made an exceptional request for a week-long leave of absence from her posting at the Czarnobóg Fleet Depot, citing family issues. Additionally, her political opinions have proven problematic, given the focus on improving relations with the Citadel.
Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, “Mass Effect” places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, “Mass Effect” challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. “Mass Effect” is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity.

Released in 1988, the original Bionic Commando introduced a novel grappling hook mechanic into a stagnating side-scrolling 2D platformer genre.
While the Capcom-developed game was highly regarded (and even named as one of GameSpot's Greatest Games of All Time), the franchise has been dormant outside of a 1992 Game Boy version and a 1999 Game Boy Color pseudo-sequel.
That's about to change, as Capcom has revealed to GameSpot that it is developing a new Bionic Commando game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Simply called Bionic Commando, the new game will bring back the original game's hook (pun intended), with players able to use the main character's bionic grappling arm not only to navigate levels but to take out enemies at close range, rappel down sheer surfaces, or toss objects (like cars) at enemies.
With all the concern about whether the Xbox360 HDMI-versions are compatible with the Xenon360, we took a picture comparing side-by-side both cases to show you how it actually looks like at the rear-end of the party.
As you can see, we've straightened up the Xenon360 at the back-end making it flush instead of curvy like the stock machine. This means that should you actually decide to put a dremel to the Xenon360, it will not affect the hinged structure while still being able to accomodate the HDMI cables (theoretically). From our external observation, it seems that the highlighted portion (above) is the only part of the HDMI case that is different from stock, as even the USB/LAN port position looks unchanged. We will post more design news as we go along.
