Mass Effect cover revealed.

There's still no release date but "final" box art is a good indication that the game may actually see release before the summer.

I'm not thrilled with the design, it screams "Bad Sci-Fi Novel". In particular, the focus on the "main character" is kind of silly as the game let's you choose how the main character looks and even whether it's a man or woman. So just slapping some generic dude on there, flanked by two much more interesting characters, is not ideal. It would make a world of difference to at least give the guy some personality. It looks like they just photo-shopped in a character design that was probably used internally to demonstrate what the character looked like in that armor. The female on the right is in essentially the same position.

I'll be interested to see what this game's cover looks like when it hits Japan as they don't tend to use covers which are just mish mashes of pre-existing artwork.

And I've never been a fan of the logo, it's way too plain.
