I think a lot of people had gripes with Mass Effect 2. I did think it was a bit simplified compared to the first, but still came out of the experience satisfied. The storyline, to me, did not seem nearly as engrossing and the majority of the game is not devoted to furthering the story, but in collecting members for your team.

I tried Doom briefly years ago, but just didn't find it very interesting. Based on the richness of Dragon Age Origins and the teaser during the NFC Championship Game, I eagerly awaited this hybrid RPG-Shooter. As promised, the game was delivered the day of rollout. … more
