Microsoft’s community team has been in touch with an excited email asking us to let you know about their latest Facebook promotion. It gives early access to the Mass Effect 3 demo to those lucky enough to randomly win. Full public access to the demo is available, we believe, on Tuesday but for those of you who can’t wait, this is as good a chance as any.
There are three different links to hit for the App, depending on whether you’re in the UK, France or Germany and you’ll need a Facebook account to get at it. If you do get in, let us know if it really is “better with Kinect” as they were urging Twitter users to proclaim in an attempt to win codes. We suspect that it’s possibly not.
Oh, and they also gave us some codes to give away. I’ll leave one here, with a suitably sci-fi teaser, and I’ll go and post a couple on our Twitter account too. Enjoy!

I assume that’s a 360 code? It’s not the same format as a ps3 code. What system are they giving it away on?
colmshan1990
360 only, I’d assume.
It does mention the Microsoft Community Team…

Got the code off Facebook, some nice guy gave a tip on Twitter. :) Actually i didn’t even realise what i did but it was rather easy.

Shame it’s only Xbox, but I’ll be interested to hear what people have to say about the game.

Thought it was amazing. Played the “intro” bit of the game. The sound effects are just MASSIVE. Seeing familiar faces brings lots of memories. The structure of the game is now more cinematic and less fixed, there’s husks crawling up walls, that kind of stuff.

I’ll have a play later on.

Any word on a PS3 demo?

Probably not going to play the demo full stop. Already have ME3 on pre-order and I know that it won’t disappoint.

I’m starting to get fed up with exclusive access to a freaking demo on a certain console! IT’S A DEMO! Anyway, i’m not going to play the demo to avoid spoilers. Also, Miranda and her arse had better be in ME3 or i will boycott Bioware. :P

Sorry, I’m not sharing her.
She stays in the basement.

*preorders instantly and sells a kidney to do so, hoping Miranda will be in a bikini in Sheperd’s quarters* What? Don’t judge me! :p
