Just Saved the Galaxy

I finished "Mass Effect" last night. What a great game. I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but the gameplay really struck a nice balance between shoot 'em up and advancing the narrative. I like the voice work, too.

I was sadly disappointed to find that I couldn't string both love interests along indefinitely. A game that will let you shoot someone in the face to avoid bringing them back for trial ought to let you make time with two beautiful women. Guess you don't get 'Renegade' points for being a heel.

After 50+ hours of gameplay, I know my wife will be happy I'm done. Unfortunately, I'm already contemplating how the story would evolve if I chose another class, or made different choices throughout the game. I could always play as a hot babe myself....hmmm......
