So you go around convincing the Krogan to not kill and eat the Salarians and turians (and after the Genophage I wouldent blame the Korgans if they did) and if you're a nice guy curing said Genophage in the process, despite alot of canon saying it was damn near impossible to cure. what? You're telling me that this unknown object that was never completed ever and no one has idea one as to what it might do is the key to stopping these kill crazy death ray wielding toasters? For all anyone knows it might be a galactic daquari maker. No one knows what it does but everyone is sure it can stop the Reapers for good.

Totally Assassinating his character arc from mass Effect 2. Once where the Illusive man was calculating, dangerous and cunning, Here is is just the most cliche power hungry fool you can imagine.

The mysterious pro human organization Cerberus takes center stage as the main antagonist for most of the game. No hyperbole here, it is actually that bad. Plot holes you can drive a bus though are all over this game leading to now one of the most infamous game endings not only in gaming history but in all the history of works of fiction. Where you will start to loathe this game is in the story *WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD*

Think of a watered down Gears of War, stop and pop style of gameplay. Combat has never really been Mass Effect's strong suit but it's just engaging enough to keep you playing. Pretty standard and what we have come to expect from Bioware. You control the Normandy from the Galaxy map and bop around on various quests some of which are fluff side quests and some of which advance the story. Gameplay hasn't changed much since Mass Effect 2. Oh and by the way the first target they hit was Earth. Sounds simple right? One problem, your enemy is the size of the Empire State building and drops death rays the size of Nebraska on things. Your mission is to unite the races of the galaxy and fight off the Reapers. The only hope for the galaxy is of course the intrepid Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. Yes machines want to destroy organic life, where have I heard that before? Or here The final installment has the epic face off between the living beings of the galaxy and the Reapers, a race of giant machines that wipe out all life every 50,000 years. Where that tradition continues, up to a point. Every decision you make has an impact over the duration of the trilogy. The trilogy has given us an unprecedented ability to carry over our previous saves from the past games to shape the new one. The first installment was released in 2007 and mass Effect 2 in 2009. It manages to do away with some old cliches and walked that fine line between plausible and completely fiction.

One of the best and most original sci-fi Ip's to come along in a very long time.
