You make some fair poins. And yes, PC gamers are snobbish and biased towards their own platform, dissing consoles as a virus of casual noobines and they are partially right to do that. Just look at what consoles did to the FPS genre? Most of the famous PC FPS series like CoD, Battlefield and now MoH have been dumbed down for consoles. I allways laugh my ass off, when someone is even trying to argue about gamepad vs mouse + keyboard combo. The greastest WRPGs have their back catalogue on PC. There are no good RTS strategy games on consoles (well Halo Wars, but it can't compete with PC RTS games).

On the other hand, Mass Effect is game from BioWare, which is a famous, pro PC RPG developer responsible for one of the greatest game series of all time, Baldur's Gate, so the only bias I can see is the positive one. The PC version of ME2 is also better than Xbox version, so no problem there. But there are games on PC, which didn't make it to the consoles, that ME have to be compared to, one example The Witcher. But there is many many more.

Don't get me wrong, ME2 is my favourite RPG of this gen, and in my top 3 with MGS4 and UC2. I love that game, but it isn't perfect, there were things which could've been made better.

If your gonna list PC FPS games, 2 of those 3 should not be mentioned.  At least throw in Quake, Unreal Tournament, or Tribes.  Makes me think you don't know much about PC FPS gaming.

And you could throw in some Counter Strike and Half Life in there as well :D
