Mass Effect - game of the year?

10 reasons this space epic will surpass all other releases

1) Classy

There are six different classes of character to choose from at the beginning of the game, and selecting different types change how you play the game. Engineers will be better with technology, for example; Infiltrators will be great at stealth or sniping, while Vanguard or Soldier classes will excel in raw combat. Complementing your choice with the different classes of your crew will allow you to approach situations in different ways.

2) Fight in Normandy

The game begins on a starship called the Normandy. Here you discover that you’ve been selected, by an alien governing body called the Council, to be enlisted into an elite squad called the Spectres - a rare honour for a human, who, as a race, aren’t looked on very favourably by the rest of the galaxy. We played the opening mission where you must prove your worth - but it doesn’t take long before things go horribly, horribly wrong…
