The first Mass Effect was one of my all-time favorite games. It has a compelling science fiction story, amazingly realistic characters, and uncountable nods to some of the best science fiction movies and stories.

Within the week that Mass Effect 2 was released I purchased a copy. So far I may have played a total of about 14 hours. Once again, it’s hard to describe. Everything seems to have been improved including the inventory management (all but gone, but it’s not a bad thing).
