'Mass Effect 3' breaks out the guns for Gamescom

The Gamescom video game show gets underway in Germany Tuesday, and that means gamers around the world are being treated to a flood of new trailers and screenshots teasing some of the biggest video games to come.

Of course, one of the games that tops many a gamers' most wanted list is “Mass Effect 3” — due to launch next March. Kicking off Gamescom, "Mass Effect 3" developer BioWare released a new trailer for the game — one that shows off some of the squad-based combat action players can look forward to.

Check out the new trailer above as well as some new screenshots below. Looks like Commander Shepard is going to have his (or perhaps her) hands full as usual. Of course, nobody ever said saving the galaxy was easy.
