From the PlanetXbox360.com feature editorial:
"Last year, Xbox 360 owners everywhere were astounded by Bioware’s rich space adventure Mass Effect 2. It went leaps and bounds over the original, introducing both familiar and new characters, missions, worlds and much more, all while Shepard worked with the mysterious Illusive Man to save the world. It’s ended up on several Game of the Year lists, which is no surprise. Still, most Xbox 360 owners felt betrayal in the middle of last year when Bioware and Electronic Arts announced that they were bringing Mass Effect 2 to the PlayStation 3."
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.

After playing it on the 360 I see no reason to replay on PS3 but interesting comparison...
Having the DLC on-disc may be the swing for me towards Playstation 3, graphics look identical though
The ps3 version slightly looks better than the 360. The ps3 visuals are way better.
I havent played the 360 version, but I am thoroughly enjoying the PS3 version.
Im sure its a great experience on both consoles. all of these comparisons are starting to get redundant.
Mass Effect on PS3 = more people playing the game = More people discussing the game = win
