Finally started Mass Effect this afternoon. Cinema quality game although it has too many fetch-retrieve side-quests that keep you off the main plotline. I’m going to track how many hours I spend on this game as I try to get the majority of acheivements that don’t requiere beating the game multiple times. I am very pleased with the voice acting, especially since Seth Green is at the helm of my ship, the Normandy.
3/20/2008 Update – I’ve visited one planet tonight. The level has a boss that is very difficult. This is good, typically these games you just prance through. I am enjoying the strategic challenge of winning a fight you our out gunned / out numbered in. (time invested +35 minutes.)
