Which brings us to Mass Effect and it&#8217;s RPG/shooter hybrid shittyness.

The ability to say something sarcastic in every dialogue option, does not a great game make.

Mass Effect isn&#8217;t a true, die-hard RPG. It is an action game with elements of a shooter and an RPG in it. Don&#8217;t take it the wrong way I love Mass Effect, it just wasn&#8217;t the 60 hour-long, incredibly detailed and customisable experience that I want from an RPG.

Game: Mass Effect

Mass Effect is set in a distant future; mankind has become one of a number of alien species that live in a &#8216;galactic community&#8217;, as a species we are seeking a seat on the council and a representative on the Spectres, a special forces group that are looked to, to defend the gal...

Mass Effect
Xbox 360

Graphics: A true gem of Mass Effect. Every time you play you&#8217;ll notice little extras which make the game a whole lot more fun.

Sound: Some good music, but not enough. Fantastic voice acting adds to overall experience.

When you average all the scores, we end up with a C- for this game -- 7.1 out of 10.&#160; This is probably the lowest I&apos;d have rated any of Bioware&apos;s games, if I&apos;d been running this blog and writing reviews while playing them.&#160; I consider NWN, KOTOR, and Jade Empire to be &quot;must play&quot; games.&#160; With all the p...
