The Mass Effect
Eleven hours in, having just cleaned out a mercenary base on a remote planet, the long awaited “Kirk” moment struck: it was time to seduce a bright blue alien female. I was hoping I’d be able to break the ice with a killer line like “My blood is… red.. and.. yours is… blue, but my lovin’ is… every… colour… of… the… rain… bow.” delivered in a suitably Kirk-esque fashion (and believe me, if you came from another planet, that line would be a winner), but the options were all more reserved than I’d expected. Instead the conversation seemed to revolve around how great we humans were which, while true (especially when compared to, say, fish), didn’t really perform in the getting-the-pants-off stakes. Honestly, you’d think in the future we’d all be so much more adept at pulling off the inter-species moves. *Obvious joke involving the Welsh omitted for the sake of international relations*
Mass Effect is a sci-fi RPG (and alien love simulator) for the 360 and is available now from all good stockists.

You mean you’re not seducing the racist god-squadder?
I, however, lezzed it up with the blue chick like a true hero, got the achievement, and that’s all that counts. Carth can go die in a fire.
