With all these Mass Effect 2 videos showing off the new characters in the game, isn't it about time Commander Shepard got his time in the spotlight? BioWare thought so. They unveiled a new video today starring the badassery that is The Shep. Short, sweet and to the point.
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.

Shep must be talking to other humans in this vid lol, most of the creatures he runs around with don't think very highly of humans and some would be offended or kill him with his insensitive descriptions.
the badassery. I want this game now.
Saw this on TV last night. I was all like "Whooo"!! :P
My mother thought the Shepard interview part was an actor dressed up
Can't wait for this game 10 more days!
That video was great. but the hype in general is really ruining this game for me, a new video shoved down our throats each day, nothing in the games will ever suprise me because we've either seen screenshots, read about it or seen videos of it.
I'm glad Bioshock 2 has been untainted by the marketing machine ( at least no where near as much as this game ), but I hope it doesn't affect sales.
It's the sad truth though that hype sells more than quality
