Mass Effect Infiltrator Revealed

Let's get one thing out of the way right from the start: Mass Effect Infiltrator for iOS is not a roleplaying game. Players don't level up, engage in dialogue trees, or pilot a spaceship. Instead, the team at IronMonkey Studios has created a full-featured and action-oriented cover shooter, with hooks into the core Mass Effect trilogy's storyline.

And more importantly, he seems to get what makes Mass Effect great. He does insist on calling Shapard's partners, "henchmen," though, which is a little odd.

Oh, and by the way Freddie, you're not a nerd. You just like good sci-fi stories.
