Mass Effect 2,
You pick up where the game left off, when you play your xbox will access your actions from the last game. The combat in the game is satisfying and will shift on real-time dynamics that is influenced by first person shooters... Can't say much after that the story kind of rambles and there aren't key points.
Nothing else much either, all the other games are not that popular in this issue. What a let down.
