Just got my November issue of Game Informer (wasn't expecting it this early and I also wasn't expecting Tim Schafer's new game on the cover: "Brutal Legend") and low and behold, Mass Effect is reviewed!
9.75
Concept: One of the greatest science fictions stories ever told, and a new benchmark for video game storytelling
Sound: One of the most memorable and unique soundtracks in gaming. It's inspired by '80s sci-fi, yet sound like nothing you've heard before. The game also features an amazing ensemble of voice actors.
Playibility: Functional and fun, but something always seems to be an amiss with the AI and balancing
Entertainment: An expansive quest (18-30 hours) that toys with your emotions, and keeps you engaged
GFX: Every second of gameplay offers the visual quality you have come to expect from Final Fantasy cutscenes
Replay Value: High

Looks pwnage. Just remember that Game Informer isn't Gamespot, so they're a lot less harsh when it comes to rating games.
