A new Mass Effect is but days away, with the first few hours available to all on Thursday, and the full thing just a week later for the EU, less for US. For now, you'll have to make do with the first hour, as played by us. We have a little explore, talk to a few people and blow up a robot - it's good stuff. See it above.

Have a look at our guide to Mass Effect multiplayer for a preview of everything we know before launch.

Absolutely loads more to come on the Mass Effect front, so make sure to subscribe to our channel for more.
