E3 06: Mass Effect

After you've got your character customization under control, it's time to venture out into a bright universe... that holds a dark secret. Hopping from planet to planet in your ship (called the Normandy) is simplified by a galaxy map that scales to a solar system map once you've selected a system that interests you. From there you get a detailed read-out of each planet before deciding whether or not you want to land there, and what you'll need to survive in that environment.
