Not a multiplayer game, but i'm gonna bring it to the attention of everyone anyways.
Xbox360 game, made by Bioware, who as you may well know are the masters of RPG's. Believe it or not, i'm not a fan of RPG's, as Iain will tell you. I always rip the piss out of those stupid fantasy "HAVE AT THEE, ELF! I SHALL RUN YOU THROUGH WITH MY EPIC ENGLISH ACCENT!" rpg games he plays, and i include the morrowind and NWN games in this category too.
They're all rubbish, and piss me off.
However, Galaxies got me into RPG's to a degree, but obviously the appeal was mainly Star Wars. It got me into MMO's.
In the same way, Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, got me into RPG's (intially the appeal being, again, star wars), i guess mainly Sci-Fi ones (since i'm a Sci-Fi fan anyways), although i still steer clear of fantasy crap. (side note - i bought Oblivion cause i figured any game with patrick stewart and "sheffield steel" sean bean in would be good. I didn't take to it.)
So anyways, Mass Effect, being hailed as one of the most cinematic games ever, excellent voice acting and featuring an epic and original story and vision of the future. The cast is pretty good, and just read the reviews, not perfect but pretty damn close.
Gamespy gave it 5 out of 5, gametrailers gave it 9.6 out of 10.
A small snippet from the Gamespy review;
"It's a rare thing when a game comes along with the power to move a player emotionally. Warts and all, you'll want to experience Mass Effect if you have any interest at all in enjoying one of the greatest efforts that modern videogaming has to offer. Mass Effect takes interactive entertainment to breathtaking new heights and is wholeheartedly recommended. This is one of the best games of the year, and will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest games ever made."
So, if you like RPG's and you have an Xbox360, go buy it!
And remember kids, that PS3 you bought? it's just another amazing game that you can't play on it!
Haha suckers! ;D
