mass effect on Technabob...

Of all the games I have played the last few years, some of my favorite titles have been in the Mass Effect… series. I really enjoy the way the franchise wraps shooting, adventuring, and RPG elements together to make a seriously slick and entertaining game.

I’m not Commander Shepard, and this is my – and as far as I know the only – Mass Effect…-themed Monopoly game in the Citadel. It was made by prop maker/deviantARTist/just another Shepard Tommy LeRoy, who was inspired by the equally awesome Fallout Monopoly.

There’s nothing like a good geek weapon to get me drooling, and this prop gun based on the M-29 Incisor Rifle from Mass Effect 2… has me salivating in spades.

Try to control yourselves people, this is awesome. The gun you see here is a handmade prop that comes from the same dude, Harrison Krix of Volpin Props, who brought us the M8 replica last year. This time out, Krix made this awesome replica of one of the new weapons…

How’s that for search engine optimization eh? I should get a Guinness World Record for the most number of Mass Effects in a title. But on to the great news! The PS3 version of Mass Effect 2… has gone gold, i.e. it’s been sent to be pressed into discs

A dude named Harrison Krix (the same guy who built the world’s best Daft Punk… helmet) calls himself a 28-year-old dork, but I would say he is more of a geek than a dork. The dude is a graphic designer and has pulled off one of the most epic DIY

…but it’s a hell of a lot funnier too:

Poor Zaeed. Check out the whole pic at Unreality.…

Now that the dust has settled on 2010′s Comic-Con, it’s taking us a little time to digest all things awesome which surfaced at this year’s show. One of the greatest achievements of the show in my opinion is these most excellent Mass Effect 2… costumes by FyrielArt (aka Crabcat Industries).

You’re probably aware that the sequel to Bioware’s blockbuster action RPG Mass Effect… is already in the works, but did you also know that a prequel will also be released? And that it’s on the iPhone? Well now you do.

The new game was leaked by a Joystiq reader, and
