VGT's Mike Flacy reviews and scores Mass Effect. His conclusion:
"Mass Effect certainly has flaws, but it's easily the most enthralling space adventure that's ever been created for a video game platform. It honestly makes the Halo narrative look like amateur hour. Much of the credit goes to a writing staff that incredibly created this world with nothing more than pure imagination. While Mass Effect isn't a revolutionary step for Bioware, it's certainly evolutionary. Combining the elements that made KOTOR so entertaining with a combat system that's much more accessible to the teeming masses of shooter fans will make for a highly successful combination on the Xbox 360. I can't imagine anyone being without a copy of Mass Effect this holiday season."

Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
GF365: "A friend makes the adventure all the more fun. Here are the best video game companions that will keep you company."
The Mass Effect N7 Day teaser has already been decoded, and it features Liara T'Soni talking about The Council, and The Geth can be heard too.
Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.
@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
8.5 on gamestats it will be at end

Expect the PS3 fanboys to turn their attention on 360 games to comfort themselfs about their own games short commings.
....................count it!
This game looks boring.
STFU u tool.... I HAVE A 360 AND I THINK MASS EFFECT LOOKS LIKE A BORING PIECE OF SH!T. I don't troll either my friend, Mass effect really REALLY looks boring to me. If it doesn't to you that's awesome man... love it up! LOL You guys are MORONS... I'M NOT A FANBOY I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY PS3 YET... I'M JUST NOT A IDIOT. I beat Bioschok OVERRATEDAS HELL!!!! Gamertag: get shank d.... I don't give a DAMN what u think .... I hope u like it. I won't be giving it a try. UNCANNY VALLEY. UNCANNEY VALLEY. BORING AS HELL GAMEPLAY. Yea I'm getting a PS3 but I've only played my roomates and I do really like it... thats not really the reason I'm not getting Mass Effect I could. I don't want it. I will be trying out Uncharted though. XD
i'm not a fanboys fvcking idiots I JUST DON'T THINK MASS EFFECT LOOKS GOOD!!! God stop being so definsive not everyone wants to play shatty Sci Fi games!! I'm not 16 anymore! I don't like Halo either... and I used to be an AVID Halo fan. I get the feeling Halo has lost alot of fans beacuse of Halo 3 though. My firends think its really gay. I liked gears and Bioshock was cool for 3 days. 360 isn't that great fanboys. You can keep saying it is but I HAVE ONE FVCKING LOSERS. aND IT HAS GOT THE RED RINGS TWICE. i'M A MORON FOR LISTENING TO U LOSERS AND BUYING IT OVER A PS3.... IT CAN'T DO ANYTHING THE PS3 CAN... And next year this will become MUCH more obvious... and the next year and the next year. You will lose. I'm sorry Xbox just isnt a Playstation and never will be. Nintendo is better too.
Awesome - another excellent review. The only real negative is some framerate problems experienced in large scale battles, the only real negative mentioned about gameplay. Funny, no other reviewer has mentioned this. Everything else was very positive - the story, the graphics... can't wait for Tuesday !!!
MASS EFFECT FTW !!!
KEEP ON HATIN' TROLLS, WHILE THE REAL GAMERS KEEP ON PLAYIN' !!!
