Where Has My Time Gone?

Mass Effect is the perfect game to lose a lot of time. After the initial mission the game really starts off on a huge space station called Citadel. So many people to talk to, a lot of side quests which are fun and rewarding. The pace and narration is spot on. I am over 10 hours into the game and have just left the station on my quest to fight the Geth.

I love the presentation of the game. Usually I get bored pretty fast with the dialog in RPGs. Not this time. I am talking to everyone I can talk to. The facial expressions and the voice over correspond perfectly. The fight system is great so far, not too easy but also not too hard. The only thing that frustrated me in the beginning was the lack of explanation on the upgrade and skill system. There should’ve been some in the manual for a game with so many possibilities. But that is just a minor flaw in a great game so far.
