Mass Effect 2

In 2007, Bioware brought to video game and sci-fi fans everywhere one of the most epic, dramatic, and biggest character driven games to ever hit the market: Mass Effect. The story of Commander Shepard and the fight against the ancient Reapers has captivated the minds of millions of fans, and made it game of the year in 2007. In January 2010, Bioware upped the ante with Mass Effect 2, the groundbreaking sequel to it's Game of the Year.
Mass Effect 2 starts where the first game left off. Thanks to Commander Shepard and the Normandy crew, the Reapers were stopped, and humanity set itself as a full fledged member of the Council, a group of alien species and planets that have come together to become a galactic government. As the game begins, the Normandy is attacked by a new and unknown enemy. As the ship is obliterated, the crew escapes with their lives, save for Shepard, who stayed with the ship. Presumed dead, we come to learn that a human organization known as Cerberus has saved the Commander and have brought him back to life using cutting edge technology. When he wakes up, the remaining geth and the knew enemy are attacking the medical station he has been at for two years.
The gameplay takes place as a third-person shooter, and the mechanics are some of the smoothest gameplay that the video game industry has seen in ages. With cinematic cut scenes that make a person feel like they are at the movie theatre and a story that spans two whole discs, it is no wonder that fans have become obsessed with the series. The best part of this game is being able to control where the story goes, choosing what to say in response to questions, and making alliances with friends and enemies that will determine the final outcome of the longest, most grueling and exciting final battle. I must give this game a 10 out of 10, for it is fun, exciting, one of the most amazing stories, and the most exciting gameplay that I've seen in years.
