I would like to preface this by saying that, in a past life I once reviewed games on a regular basis. I had my share of pre-release review copies and the like, and some recent events have inspired to take up pen once again. I am starting what I hope will be a fairly regular stream of video game reviews with one that has recently become my favorite-
Mass Effect 2. I chose this as my starting point because reviewing games that you like tends to be relatively easy, but reviewing a game that you consider to be your favorite presents a bittersweet task; coupled with the joy of lavishing praise comes the responsibility to be as objective as possible.
