From Strategy Informer: "For PS3 owners the wait to experience this thrilling ride is over and I can say, after playing both the Xbox 360 and PC builds beforehand, that this is the definitive product, the elite collectors edition that you should own, roll around in the mud with and eventually marry. Why? Because it really is as good as the score suggests.
The compensation for the 12 month delay and the absence of the original Mass Effect on the platform is the inclusion of Genesis. This narrated comic book retells the narrative of the first game before you're thrust, phoenix-like into the main game."
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.

I'm kind of getting sick of reviews saying that the PS3 version is better simply because it has the DLC included. Why does everyone assume that people who had the game a year ago haven't gotten all the DLC already? I don't see how including all the DLC in the box is any different than me already owning all the DLC and it being there every time I go to play the game. Sure, it didn't come with it, but I already had it all months before the PS3 version even came out.
And after playing it so many times I don't think I could play this game without carrying over a save file from the first. Even small things like the interactions with Conrad Verner and Gianna Parasini make the game better. PS3 owners wont even meet those people or realize that they are missing content from the game.
Double post, oops.
Who would of thought? all that harping that it would never come to PS3, and it gets the best of the console versions.
Thanks EA! :)
its a complaint these fanboys will never get over. its on ps3 get over. who would of thought reviews are also still high for a year old game. usually it would score lower due to its the same game. just be happy ps3 owners get the better version. you whiners still got yours, just not better. ps3 wins again.
