Mass Effect

Mass Effect is a terrific sci-fi RPG for the XBox 360, and I am once again the last to know about it. The story and characters are intricate and engrossing, the dialogue mechanic is the most natural of any I've seen in a game, and the game just feels epic (unlike Fallout 3, which just felt epic for like 10 minutes at the end). The plot is some future stuff with space and commandos - it's tough to explain, but they did a really great job of building up this new universe from scratch. Also there is a part where you can space do it with a space hermaphrodite.

RATING: 92%

Agreed on the dialogue... it pretty much sounds like you're watching one of those Space Track shows.

That's what you're trading to make the big bucks. Not like you'll ever have time to spend any of them.
