Mass Effect is a blast, but after my second time around, I really see a lot of flaws that go unnoticed the first time you play. I can only hope that the second one fixes most of these.
Seems like this was the year for flawed masterpieces. Both Mass Effect and Assassin\'s Creed had unlimited potential and both, in my opinion, failed to quite hit that mark that we, the public, had expected from them. There are other games also, but those are the two that really stick in my mind (Crysis is another).
