Mass Effect 2. 14 RPG bestsellers

Mass Effect 2

Developer: BioWare

Year: 2010

Estimated number of copies sold: 6 million

NOTES

The most recent sales figures come from 2010, and they say 2 million copies. On the Twitter account of one data miner and game information seeker a year ago, a screen shot from the resume of one of the HR staffers at Electronic Arts appeared, showing the reported number of a record 6 million copies of Mass Effect 2 sold.

If someone has not yet played Mass Effect 2, a place on this outstanding list should be a good incentive, especially since the game was recently remastered and became available on current-gen consoles. The middle part of the space epic about Commander Shepard and galactic war with the Reapers is undoubtedly an outstanding entry that deservedly won general acclaim and a place in the RPG hall of fame. It's a result of great gameplay improvements compared to the original, an interesting storyline which is less controversial than the one in the third game, important moral choices, memorable characters, and a fantastic score.

This is one of those games that you simply have to play yourself and feel the weight of every decision made by your own Commander Shepard. Perhaps more conservative RPG fans will complain about the slightly greater emphasis on action and shooting, but it's hard to find a better AAA game where we'll think so hard about choices we make, and feel such connection with some of the Normandy's crew. If the Mass Effect trilogy were a movie franchise, this would be the equivalent of The Empire Strikes Back.
