			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SO a few days ago I picked up Mass Effect for the PC. I&#8217;ve always hear people talk about how good this game is but now I know. Its one of the best Scifi WRPG experiences that I&#8217;ve had in a long while. The game starts out with your character named &#8220;Shepard&#8221; as a typical FPS shooter scenario, get a mission, shoot up some stuff. But soon after you are quickly propelled into a very entertaining story about sentient machines trying to take over the known universe.</p>
<p>Though it tries to be a FPS-like game, the precision in the combat just isn&#8217;t there. So its not exactly a twitch fest, its more like a point and click type of combat style. It manages to bring strategy into play by allowing you and your AI buddies a lot of options like a very decent cover system, grenades and Bioptic/Psy type of powers that can disable and damage opponents or give temporary buffs. it also gives you a chance to improve damage through zooming in on enemies.</p>
<p>The weaker part of the game I believe is the world travel/exploration. There are side quests that send you to different worlds but those worlds look like it was made in a Bryce3D terrain generator. The layout is often peaky terrain with a new skin and no foliage or detail and always in a Star Trek shuttle styled buggy with a turret. Worlds that are crucial to the story are often better designed but you spend most of your time inside buildings and structures anyway.</p>
<p>Graphics are very finely tuned. Raising the texture level does very little. As this was an Xbox 360 game originally, I doubt that they could have raised the texture level much higher anyway. Though it does bring a slightly better sharpness to most objects and characters. The game has sort of a mix of scifi styles and all of it is pretty gorgeous.</p>
<p>I reccommend this game to anyone even remotely interested in RPGs or Scifi entertainment. They will not be disappointed.</p>
