I like Mass Effect alot, but calling it an RPG is kind of a stretch.

Why would you call Mass Effect an RPG instead of a shooter or an action game? I'm legitimately asking (anyone), cause the game falls into a really gray are for me. The second and third ones I'd say are very firmly in the action game category, but how many RPG elements make an RPG?
