Mass Effect 3 News: Did you miss the Mass Effect 3 demo at PAX 2011 this weekend? We can't give you hands-on with the game, but we do have six new gameplay screenshots.

PAX 2011 ended and so did your chance to demo Mass Effect 3 before the end of the year. But, even if you didn't make it out to the Seattle-based expo this past weekend, you'll be seeing so much ME3 coverage between now and its PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 March 6, 2012 release date that you'll almost feel as if you've gotten hands-on time with the game. Almost. Case in point, Electronic Arts and developer BioWare wasted no time in turning on the hype machine, dropping us an email this morning containing six new gameplay screenshots as soon as PAX wrapped up.

Four of the six screenshots show off Commander Shepard in action, with guns either drawn or a-blazin'. But while these PAX screenshots helped bring the weapons of Mass Effect 3 to life, there was nothing more authentic than seeing Comic-Con 2011's N7 assault rifle in replica form. Topping that fan-crafted gun is going to be a difficult Mass Effect 3 expo highlight to top.
