Mass Effect: Jacob’s Story Coming To iPhone
It’s absolutely no secret to anybody that reads this site fairly regularly that I’m an absolutely huge Mass Effect fan, and in dire anticipation for the upcoming Mass Effect 2. Well throw another game on that anticipation fire as just announced is an iPhone Mass Effect game. Coolest thing ever made in the history of the world. Portable Mass Effect is the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
The game will be called Mass Effect: Jacob’s Story, and will be a two hour story driven Mass Effect experience in which players take on the role Jacob Taylor, who uncovers a terrorist plot to strike against civilizations greatest beacon of hope. BioWare promises the game will bridge the first Mass Effect to the upcoming sequel, and that the game will feature more back story from some of your favorite characters. I’m dying to find out what’s going on with Ashley Williams and Garrus, the two compatriots I most often took with me throughout the first Mass Effect’s campaign, I also hope they’ll be available in Mass Effect 2 for that matter.
Mass Effect: Jacob’s Story is described as a graphic novel experience, which will feature a well written story driving the gameplay, and frantic top-down shooter carnage thrown in. And I’m already predicting that this will be the coolest mobile game ever made. As long as it doesn’t feel cash-in/gimmicky like the Metal Gear Solid Touch game, I’m completely down.
No release date, but expect a price tag of around $2.99, not bad at all.
this is badass, mass effect is freaking awesome, can’t wait to play as much as possible
