From the PlanetXbox360.com feature review:
"Bioware is one of those video game developers that other companies strive to be like, creating entertainment experiences on the Xbox 360 that are unrivaled in terms of story, dialogue, and pure emotional investment. For that reason the Mass Effect trilogy is one of the most anticipated events in our industry and after three years of waiting Mass Effect 2 is finally ready to hit retail shelves. I tried to continue the same style of decision making from my Mass Effect 1 playthrough and in the end the two games flowed together (connected) very well. The opening scene of Mass Effect 2 sets up exactly what the entire 20+ (on an average play-through) hour campaign will be like: an epic adventure that is unparalleled by any other video game on the Xbox 360."
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.

This is the best game I have played on the Xbox 360 - obviously it can't compare to other types/genres of game but as far as a story-driven game goes I stand behind this score/review more than I have ever before.....give it a chance, Bioware outdid themselves 100x on the Xbox 360 with Mass Effect 2 - great review!
Watched my husband play a couple hours and I have to agree, for a girl or a guy this game is top-notch.....grab it as soon as you can.
another 10
I have to think that this is Xbox 360 owner's answer to Uncharted 2 from last year - the game can compete on every level (I played both) and it's about time the Xbox 360 is getting some triple-A titles from epic developers....go pick it up!

Oh from the same guy who got mad, because some other author posted a "supposedly" bad article(which was not) about ME2. k...
