Haha. I was about to give you a hard time for mentioning King's Bounty, not realizing there is a new one. I'll have to check it out. I really enjoyed the old one by New World Computing.

Reviewers thought that The Witcher and Kings Bounty were quite a bit worse than ME.
And having owned KB:TL, I can say that ME is quite a bit better...Not that KB is bad by any means of the imagination (its fantastic), but ME is far more grand in what it does.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
Every time I think "I'm alright without an xbox I hear about this game. Everone loves it. The negatives I hear are that the main quest can be whizzed through and that it has technical issues. Looks like a really interesting story.
Ynwa.

The Witcher won much more awards than Mass Effect, so no. As for King's Bounty, it's a niche game that had nowhere near the amount of attention and reviews from sites/magazines, though it won a few GOTY awards from russian mags.
Metacritic:
Mass Effect - 91 (89 for PC)
The Witcher - 81 (86 for enhanced edition)
Kings Bounty - 80
Awards wise, I tend to think that Mass Effect winning IGN's Best RPG of the Year, Best Score, Best Story; New York Times Best Game of the Year; SpikeTV, TeamXbox, GameTrailers and X-Play's Best RPG of 2007 trumps The Witchers PC awards.
Mass Effect won far more categories outside of just it's console's awards. ME won RPG of the year on 5 sites. The Witcher did not. So don't call the Witcher better from ANY critical standpoint, when it is not. The Witcher did get more awards, but the majority of them were from PC gaming magazines, and not general magazines that pitted the Witcher against more titles (unlike ME, which won against every other game in 2007). Even King's Bounty won tons of PC awards, despite it having an average MC rating of 80 (great game, BTW).

Huh?! Since when are IGN, SpikeTV, TeamXbox, GT, New York Times (for videogames) and X-Play reputable sources?! The thing is, The Witcher won far more awards in Europe than ME did, but the US sources are much more visible obviously.
So you chose which sources are good or bad isn't shio and which reviews and awards are valid, what are you? A god?
But war... war never changes

Seriously shio, become a little more mature. We all know the spite you have for console games. So, out of curiousity, why do you come to this site then? A predominately console oriented site. Rather than trying to show everyone how wrong they are for not being the PC elite and trying to spit on everyone, let people enjoy their own tastes. Stop spewing venom and go enjoy what you enjoy in life, and let others enjoy the games they like.
