I've come a long way on the notion of shooting things. I really preferred my games with more slashing and less shooting. Shooting requires precision, patience, planning... slashing a sword only requires - well, slashing. But I've found that I have increasingly and increasingly been evolving to enjoy active combat and a weapon that can aim.
The Mass Effect series were the games that put Bioware on the map: a space opera series about Commander Shepard, human extraordinaire, and his ragtag group of adventurers. Having finally been re-released for the PS3, the time was ripe to play and enjoy the series.
