I have to admit, these games looks pretty close to the point that I almost wanna pick up ME:1 for the collection since I missed it the first time around. I bet ME:2 is boosting the sales off the first one.

saraphina0175192d ago

I'm sure it is. That's what a good sequel should do.

hoops5192d ago

Big difference especially with the charecter models. Playing 1 and 2 yourself and you know the difference right away

artsaber5192d ago

ME2 is much better. It is just an overall improved product. Both are great games though, definately can't go wrong with either or both.

junk-3d5192d ago

I have to agree. BioWare did a great job on the first game and improved on the formula in every way for Mass Effect 2. I am really digging the more action oriented gameplay.

Kiroe5192d ago

Nice comparison. I still can't believe all of the people on LoT and N4G comparing this game to Uncharted 2. Both games are phenomenal, but completely different experiences.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox332d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
