Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time (infosec.pub)

This game made me feel like the captain of a space ship. There was nothing like it at the time it was released, and even now I have not experienced any other game making me feel this way. I loved Fallout 3 too, but Mass Effect had something special. It was so well crafted, I listened to every dialogue of every NPC. The characters are so memorable with amazing voice acting. The Citadel is the best city in video games, felt really alive. Most sidequests add to the story instead of just padding the gameplay time.

After playing the game, I wondered how Star Wars (movies) sucked so badly, when a video game could create a much more interesting sci-fi world and story.

Unfortunately Bioware is no longer the same company.

Loved me1! One of my all time faves. Need to pick it up again soon. Started a play about a year ago but ran into a hectic patch at work and it died out. Never finished me3 tough, the gauntlet at the end got too gears of war-y for me and when i ended up having to start from scratch because i ran out of ammo i juat said fuck it and put down the controller never to return

2007 also gave me another two of my all time favorites: portal and super mario galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favourites too. Amazing soundtrack and the levels are innovative, fun without being too long.
