E4G: There has been a ton of buzz going around today when Electronic Arts announced that Mass Effect 2 will be coming to the PlayStation 3 in January of 2011. This had been rumored for a very long time but now Xbox 360's owners can not call the game a console exclusive anymore.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
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.

This is why the Move is awesome, it really can be applied to any type of gaming expierence. While I was recently playing ME2, I was thinking how awesome it would be with the Move cause you pretty frequently "stop time" w/ the command/weapon list anyway and it would make it easier to select targets. I`m sooooo re-buying this game for the PS3, I`m want some details on the bonus content.
ME2 with MOVE = AWESOMENESS
weeee lol
Highly unlikely, IMHO. Enough work alone to port it, now to implement Move controls and test the full game elements with it all the way through (mini games, shooting, abilities, etc. throughoug the whole game and all DLC).
But what about the first one. Is there a point in releasing ME2 when ME isn't on PS3 yet?
Might play it if it's a good port, but I'm not sure if Move support is needed...
