Board 8 > Rate the Game: Mass Effect

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:
- Rate from 0 to 10 (two decimals place are fine, more than that and I'll round for you). I'd prefer if 5 were an average rather than 7.
- You may vote for any games you want that have been rated before at any time. You may also change your vote at any time.
- No alts, no joke voting, no “purposeful downvoting” - you all know this.
- Please only vote if you've played enough of the game to be able to rate it.
- You may nominate as many games as you want on any given day. Multiple noms of the same game aren't necessary.

Simpsons Arcade Game's nondescript performance is easily overshadowed by the fall of the former #1 game, NFL Street 2.

During my time running this, we have had four different games in the top spot: Grim Fandango, which I believe has held it the longest, StarCraft, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and the one nobody expected, NFL Street 2. It may have only worn the crown for one topic, but it had it nonetheless. If everybody could pay tribute to it by quoting Xzibit or posting a picture of him, that would be appreciated.

Today's game features Commander Shepard, Garrus, Wrex, and a bunch of characters that aren't as awesome but still good in their own right.

Very addicting as I put 24 hours in just 4-5 days. The main problems that I had were a largely strict checkpoint system and occasionally too much action going on at once to understand what's happening and what to do.
