Right. I’ve now finished this as both a goody bloke and an absolute arsehole. The reason I bought this game (and stuck with the shitty opening stretch) is that Mass Effect 2 is getting really good reviews, and it does something a bit different.

I don’t talk about films on here very often, cos over a long period of time I’ve grown to like games more than films. Sometimes, I get an itch that a game can’t scratch. Sometimes I just wanna sit the fuck down without a keyboard being stuck to my lap. Most times, when I eat, [...]
