News Mass Effect: Andromeda Finally Gets a Proper Trailer
Now we're talking
Good lord, it's about time isn't it? BioWare has finally released a proper trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Studio explains why the game mostly skipped E3

Fly into the sun
Three years, three huge disappointments from BioWare and EA.
