Mass Effect 2

In space, no one can hear you flapping your jaws. Worth: $20
based on 360 retail


All that time in hyperspace makes people really, really chatty.
Plusses: story, characters, art direction, sound design, control scheme, dialogue, relationships, combat.
Minuses: needs less talk and more rock, zero replayability.

Your story continues, literally. You can import your character from ME1 and live the results of the decisions you made in that first installment. This second game in the series shows many improvements and much more mission variety, but it is still a book on wheels that will come out essentially the same way no matter how you play it.

Yes, there is the notorious Suicide Mission, but having nailed that on my first try (purely by luck I assure you) why would I do it again?
