Mass Effect

Now playing Mass Effect, BioWare's latest RPG. BioWare also created the Knights of the Old Republic series as well as Jade Empire. The game takes place in the year 2183, with the player assuming the role of an elite human soldier named Commander Shepard, set out to explore a vast universe. It's a huge universe, and like previous BioWare titles, the playable character "evolves" based on the the player's good or bad action choices.

It's a long, long game and I'm only about 10% done with it, but so far it's been satisfactory. If you're a fan of RPGs, this might be the game for you. BioWare plans to release two more sequels during the Xbox 360's expected five year life cycle.
