hey you're the one banging on about the 10/10 score and obvious backhanders - but you're not referring to the 10/10 on this site, that was deserved then? or were eurogamer just 'copying' someone else's opinion? not at all possible they just had a different opinion from you?

and thanks for the pity, but i've never played halo3. i just find it amusing that some people (mentioning no names) can't help but bring it up in seemingly every review thread... never got round to finishing mass effect for that matter either - damn gta4 eating up all my (limited) gaming time at the mo.

>but i've never played halo3

See? Then how can you comment.. If you'd had.. and you'd paid $60 for supposedly the best game of last year (based on said reviews).. Then i'm sure you'd understand why some of us are pissed off about it.

Just as i'm STILL angry about smash bros shit-brawl reviews too.

As for why this site gave it 10/10.. i dont know.. maybe they thought it deserved it? Maybe something more sinister.. doesnt alter the fact i'm pissed off i wasted money on it.. and ALMOST missed this gem because it got a lower score..

If i had a choice between the two.. i know which ones i'd go for.

Halo 3 is a great game, no question about it. But comparing Halo 3 to Mass Effect is, in movie terms, comparing Star Wars to 2001: A Space Odyssey. One is spectacular and instantly gratifying, the other a deeper, more atmospheric but less polished experience. One of them also stood the test of time better as far as being a classic goes, and I think the same will hold true of their gaming equivalents.

See? Then how can you comment..

i've never once mentioned that i thought the game was worth 10/10, i've no opinion on the game having never played it (obviously). all i said was, how can you say your opinion is absolutely correct on it, and dismiss any reviews that may have liked it more than you as having been either paid off or copying those that were paid off. i find it a bit ridiculous to be honest...

In principle the 1st one (Episode IV), but pick your favourite.

Oh for crying out loud. Why did you have to come back smelly?
Halo got a 10, GET OVER IT. Stop whinning and crying like a lil'bitch at every opportunity.

The DRM's been cracked, btw. So much for EA's determination to use it to "combat piracy". We'll see if they now remove it or leave it in place; if it's the latter then the DRM was never about piracy, but trying to dictate what users can do with the software they buy.

ME is a 7 game unfortunately. Truly great dialog interface a nd a short but fun main story. But everything else is undercooked. You have been warned before you buy....

Are you crazy, nothing wrong with a 7.. whats wrong with people these days, if it doesnt get a 10 then dont buy :D. Ive purchased many 7 games and been very happy with them. Its about buying the right 7's ;)

No joking aside, I think to some this game will be a 7, but to those that like these kind of games I think they will think its an 8 or more. I think thats part of the problem of reviewing games, not to say the reviewer doesnt like this type of game, but it can make that difference.

I loved KOTOR and this looks far superior to that from the videos I've seen, so I personally am looking forward to it.

anyone else having problems w/ audio dropouts in the pc version? i have a creative labs xfi card, i have hardware enabled for audio in mass effect settings, and roughly 1/5th of the audio in dialogue cut scenes is absent.

mass effect 2 will be about in between finding out about the reapers and final confrontation with them. that said, I hope the 2nd + 3rd game won't have a 10 hour main story with same ol generic side quests.

Got it for 360, and loved it. Will probably get it for PC later aswell, when the price goes down and they throw out that stupid protection scheme of theirs.

My biggest complaint must be that the fire fights are just too fast and chaotic, which I suspect is more true with the 360 version. The enemies runs around firing like crazy, and you do the same. Taking cover is actually *worse* than running around. I'd rather see ammo clips, quicker heating up, etc, so that it doesn't get quite so chaotic, and more towards the action in, say, Resident Evil, where (almost) every bullet counts. You can quite easily go through the game with only the pistol.

That, and that I couldn't date the hypochondric chick. :-)
