All you have to do is put what score you think the game below deserves, and write a brief explanation as to why it deserves that score.

Voting is open for 24 hours, after the 24 hour period I will count up all the scores and get the average of the game.  I will be putting up a new thread with a new game every 24 hours

1. You had to have played at least enough of the game to form an honest opinion about it

2. Users with less than 100 posts cannot score a game unless they back up their post with very good reasons as to why they rated it so.

3. scores have to be on a 10 point scale with 7 being average, and anything longer than 2 digits (EG: 9.8) won't be counted.

4. If you score a game under a 5, you have to go into great detail as to why you gave it such a low score.

5. A game must have at least 5 people that gave it a score to be counted.

9.5

I think Mass Effect is one of those games that is really good, but the absolutely epic ending makes people finish the game on a much higher note than they actually had while playing the game. Fantastic game, but not a 9.9, nor the best RPG of all time. I'd give it a 9.1, absolutely amazing with some faults.

9.2 should be 9.5 easy but the faults are not easy to ignore.

so Burnout Paradise didn't even make the top 12 I guess

oh & CAN'T WAIT to give my GTA4 review tomorrow!

8.7

- Glitches
- Loading times
- Repetitive environments
- Repetitive sidequests
- Short main quest

9/10

+ Great atmosphere and visuals that really draw you in (im a sucker for sci-fi though)
+ The obligatory vehicle (rover) sections are surprisingly well done
+ Combat, loot whoring and exploring the main planets is fun
+ Very deep character customization and development

- Resolving things by "Renegade" or "Paragon" seems to have little to no impact on the story.
- Many side-quest planets are incredibly repetitive, with buildings and their contents blatantly copy and pasted from other worlds
- Ridiculously long elevator rides with the PC version

9.0

+ Beautiful graphics
+ Dialogues and cutscenes are nice
+ Fun combat
+ A palpable atmosphere

- Glitches over glitches over glitches

Where's Burnout?

Don't worry. Burnout failed as expected

9.5

It's my favourite game of this gen so far. Although the game has many (and that means MANY) technical flaws it's such a gem in story-telling and character development that they're not too difficult to overlook in my opinion.

I agree completely with Montana Hatchet about the ending hitting such a high note relative to the rest of the game but that's the same reason many people (including myself) had such a good view from Halo: CE. And there were many little character interactions along the main story that totally caught me off guard and surprised me.

I've played it through 4 times and am working on my fifth and am still finding new scenarios and trying new gameplay techniques and mechanics from all the different classes. Although the game is short for an RPG if you want to rush through it there is a load of replay value for those who enjoy the core gameplay but want to try new things each time.

Soundtrack is awesome, characters are memorable, script is very well written and presented, it has a good pacing and a fair amount of content (albeit slightly repetitive). It also has a sci-fi charm about it that really sucks you into the world if you're into that sort of thing.

The only thing keeping it from being perfect in my eyes are the side missions on the repetitive planets.

Also I found that the performance improved immensely from installing the game so that also helped it earn more credit from me.
