I voted Mass Effect because I played through it 4 times to get my level 60 character and enjoyed it as much on the fourth play through as the first, even with the annoyances it had. Uncharted was a great game but the sequel showed the repetitive nature of the first game up and how much it relied on the wonderful story telling. In terms of overall impact they both have brought significant gains to the table. Mass Effects story and entire universe is amazingly detailed and the innovation of you choices affecting future games is omething that should be applauded. Uncharted DF really showed how to use cinematic story telling properly in games and set the bar for future games.

P.S I played through Uncharted DF twice and still enjoyed the experience each time but still Mass Effect edged it given my love of the franchise.

Did Mass Effect 1 have online play? I never played Mass Effect so I didn't vote. But anyways I don't like RPG games at all so I might just vote for DF as it was a great game.

No but it has a ingame levelling system that allows you to carry over your stats from a saved game that has completed the game.  In effect you might get to level 30-40 on a strong play through then 40-50 on a second and 60 on your thrid play through (or 4 in my case as I didn't do enough side missions) depending on missions you do and difficulty.  I'm sure some might have done it on 2 play throughs but it would be very difficult.  The reason I played so much was I wanted my bonus stats for Mass Effect 2 for importing a level 60 character, I also wanted to try different story outcomes and relationships. 

If you have a 360 then you could do a lot worse for a game for rainy days, it certainly is worth playing and it's not your traditional RPG.  That been said the second is even less of a RPG and a far better game too but I'd always recommend playing the first if you can as no amount of dialogue and cutscenes can make up for the 25 hour game experience you're missing out.  It also makes some of the cameo relationships not make as much sense.

That being said, we all have busy lives with too little time for games we have already and I certainly don't begrudge anyone choosing Uncharted DF as it was the best game on the PS3 by a mile (imo) when it was released and still is great fun today.
