The #SaveMassEffect movement has picked up even more steam after videos from both Commander Shepard actors – and even posts from the Destiny community – helped its petition reach 200,000 signatures. It's been a whirlwind week for Mass Effect players and fans of the now-shuttered legendary RPG developer BioWare. After EA announced it would be closing the studio and canceling development for Mass Effect 5 , fans took action , and the result is something to behold. In the first weekend of the #SaveMassEffect movement and its accompanying petition, more than 200,000 verified users have offered their signature to the cause. That's thanks in part to the wild amount of social media attention it's garnered in just a few days, but two of its most prominent supporters have already been backing Mass Effect for decades. I like this thought… ❤️💙 #MassEffect #Femshep #broshep #N7 https://t.co/wnCS1I1w0u — Jennifer Hale (@jhaletweets) October 24, 2026 "You know what I like to...

Phantom Blade Zero has spent years looking almost too good to be true, especially coming from a studio that's best known for its mobile games. That’s why it's just about the biggest compliment I can pay it that after 50 hours performing picture-perfect kung fu, it's exactly as fun to play as it looks. This effortlessly smooth action game has some of the most satisfying and well-tuned combat I’ve played in a long time, a surprising number of secrets to discover and quests to complete in each of its beautiful levels, and a neverending supply of clever encounters full of unbelievably awesome moments. Its convoluted story and occasional performance issues may not live up to that incredible action, but it nails just about everything else, and there were only a handful of moments where I wasn’t absolutely thrilled to be slicing my way through the ranks of the Wulin. Phantom Blade Zero plays like something straight out of a wuxia epic. As a metal-as-hell martial artist of mysterio...

Magic: The Gathering is a fantastic card game, but the Commander format has given it even more legs. It revolves around a central Commander that helms your deck, giving it a ton of personality as players gravitate towards their favorite legendary creatures to build around. Wizards of the Coast finally recognized the format in 2011, beginning a deluge of preconstructed decks that are playable right out of the box. We’ve got a full list of them , but for now, we’ve narrowed down our top 12. These aren’t presented in any real order, but let us know which ones you’ve played! The Most Powerful Magic: The Gathering Commander Precons Draconic Domination - Commander 2017 The Ur-Dragon still commands a high fee, and the 10/10 standard-bearer of this five-color precon is a beneficiary of the Eminence keyword. It drops the cost of Dragon spells by 1 mana, and then, when it is on the field, your dragons essentially multiply as they attack. It’s far and away the most powerful preconstructed Drago...

Additional details about BioWare's canceled Mass Effect game have leaked online, revealing a story that would have taken choices from the Commander Shepard trilogy into account if EA hadn't shut down the studio. The long-awaited and currently canned follow-up for the sci-fi RPG franchise, which was working under the title Mass Effect: Universe, was built around decisions made in the original games, according to comments shared by former technical director Romain Toutain during a recent livestream (via Kotaku ). As more details about the project leak, there's no telling exactly how thorough this system would have been, but he did his best to give fans an idea. "All the choices made in the first Mass Effect games were taken into account," Toutain said (translation via Bluesky user @loustica-lucia.bsky.social ). "One of the reasons why it was called 'Mass Effect: Universe' is that you had so many choices. That you could plug your saves together to creat...
