With Mass Effect (http://masseffect.bioware.com/) now available in stores, I can officially confirm XGen's involvement in fellow Edmonton-based studio Bioware (http://www.bioware.com/)'s latest epic.

Jordan Dubuc and I had the opportunity to work internally with Bioware on the award-winning Mass Effect, an invaluable and humbling experience. We feel fortunate to have worked with a team of such talented professionals and industry veterans from within the legendary studio, on a truly ground-breaking next generation title.

If you haven't had the chance yet, check out the official Mass Effect website (http://masseffect.bioware.com/) for trailers, screenshots, and further information. With an average rating of 93% on Gamerankings.com (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930279.asp), you may want to do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

What exactly did you do to get into Mass Effect's credits? Inspire them? Ideas? I'm curios in how Xgen was involved in Mass Effect.

Awesome. You know you made it big when you work on one of the biggest video games ever made.

Congrats.

I had a feeling this was it. Props to you, I read an article in the New York Times about Mass Effect.

There's something like 23 hours of pure dialog that you can experience. I'm tempted to buy a 360 now, I love decision based games, and the pseudo-realism looks incredible, especially with facial features and reactions.

Very nice. I'd say a successful step in making a name for yourself in game development :-) This means we get free promo copies of Mass Effect, right?

>_>

Cool. Mass Effect does look like an awesome game, I do wish I had a XBox 360.

I'm curious as to how you were asked to do this job - I'm pretty sure you didn't do any Actionscript programming! =P

It means that his last name starts with a B, since the list is alphabetically ordered.
