O.G. writes "Jennifer Hale is the voice of the main character for one of the biggest games this year, Mass Effect 2. Sad thing is that most gamers will not hear a second of her voice. I talk to Jennifer about her role as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series, her time as Naomi Hunter in the Metal Gear Solid series, and a few subtle hints about her latest project, Star Wars: The Old Republic."
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.

Pretty nice interview and can't wait to hear her voice in ME2. Also found out that a store near me is actually doing a midnight release which is rare.
I'm sure many people make a female shepard. Maybe even more than male shepards
Oh snap! I had no idea Naomi Hunter was the female shepard's voice. She's probably way better than the relatively flat male shepard.
Shes the only Shepard I ever want to hear.
:D
Nice! Wish i still had my ME1 game save.........:(
I too used the female version of Shepard in the first one.
