Not sure how many of you are fans of the franchise, but the Mass Effect 3 release date of March 6th is getting close, and the demo is out. Come Friday 2/17 the demo version of the four player co-op multiplayer will be activated, but until then the single player is available.

Download here (you will have to download the infamous EA Origin client, if you don't have it already): http://masseffect.bioware.com/about/demo/

For those who are interested in the full game, any PC users who preorder Mass Effect 3 will also be given a full digital download of Battlefield 3. This is similar to the previous deal that gave Dead Space 2 to anyone pre-ordering BF3, except that BF3 is not complete crap. :p

Hopefully we can get some super-peppy, co-op, action-RPG, 4-player, sci-fi, inter-species, hyphenated-word action going down this weekend!
