Mass Effect special edition details
Two aliens and a spaceship.
Microsoft and BioWare have opened up the Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition box to show us all what's inside.
First out is an essential guide to the universe known as a Galactic Codex. In here you will find all sorts of details about aliens and places you should visit as you save humanity. You can get a taste of what to expect on the Galactic Codex part of the official site.
Next to be wrestled from the box of memorabilia is an art book made up of concept sketches of the future, which have helped BioWare piece together a convincing sci-fi world. Some will be good, others may have been drawn by me.
And last but not least is obligatory DVD featuring videos focusing on storytelling, art, and general behind the scenes bits and pieces.
It's enough to make you want to wipe out all organic life in the galaxy every 50,000 years, which, coincidentally, is exactly what you're trying to prevent in the game.
You can find out much more about this hotly awaited role-playing game in our Mass Effect gamepage - like an interview with BioWare boss Greg Zeschuck, or over on the official website.
Failing that, you can always phone me up and ask.
Mass Effect will be released exclusively for Xbox 360 on 23rd November.
