10 Greatest Role-Playing Games Of The Last Ten Years

2. The Mass Effect Series

Mass Effect was a series of 3 games that took you on an incredible journey. Every action you made reflected your relationships with your colleagues and enemies. Of course, like everyone else, my only complaint was the actions that you chose didn't make a big difference in the game's final outcome, which was kind of annoying. That said, it was incredibly fun getting from points A to point B. The characters were well thought out and voiced over brilliantly.

The shoot outs were fun and the main quests always moved forward towards something bigger. Every quest was fun to complete. I'm almost embarrassed to tell you how many hours I spent trying to discover everything, but hey, that's part of the fun.

Being able to have the same player through out the 3 games was amazing. Building Shephard from scratch and turning him into a hero was very rewarding. Relationships are forged and enemies are made but one way or another, every character had a purpose. I have my doubts about Mass Effect 4, but I certainly don't have any about the first 3. They were all first class.

So much so, in fact, that I played through the games twice - once as a paragon and once as a renegade. Don't judge me.
