Dressed in traditional samurai garb, the two sports legends bow in honor before...well, you'll have to watch.

'Mass Effect 3,' the third installment in the critically acclaimed sci-fi video game franchise, promised a "definitive conclusion" for the series' user-generated protagonist Commander Shepard.

If you grew up in the 1980s, chances are you know how the first level of Super Mario Bros. is played. That first level is etched into the heads of every video gamer, whether you played it on the original NES or not.
