The reason I've linked these sites are so you can go directly and buy the game. It's just the best gaming experience I've had the joy of encountering for as long as I can remember. I'm quite concerned my hyperbole will give the false impression I'm exaggerating, but I'm really not.

It's impossible to guarantee anyone will love any specific game, but this is just that excellent. I can't think of a better game. It's not perfect, but package as a whole is just so great it makes the flaws insignificant.

If you can't buy it, get it somehow and play it. If your PC can handle it, it's worth getting the PC version over the xbox360 version.

Well, download the scene release if you can't afford it, or you are uncertain -- it's worth trying!

As Kawe said, it's a great game. Probably the best RPG we have seen in some years, since the Black Isle RPGs.

You are all missing the selling point. You can engage in alien lesbo sex!

Na, I played a dude. Unfortunately you can't have alien gay sex of any kind :/
Damn sexist game!

Ya, there was actually some heat because you could have female homosexual sex, but not male.

Apparently in some other game the gay stuff was actually blacked out, and the straight stuff kept in...

Go go!

played this for ages last night. very impressive actually. I whacked up to max settings and no problems so far. the graphics have a nice hue across them for me. Could be dodgy configuration but it seems to add a very nice effect to it.

It's an effect.  A mass effect.  Called graining iirc.

Yarr, there is a grain filter on. You can turn it off in the options, but I actually quite like it. Some of the later scenes in the game look stunning with it on too.
