On a recent episode of Talking About Gamers I voiced some of my strong opinions on Mass Effect 2 and proclaimed that I still hold Mass Effect 1 to be the superior game. In this series of blog posts I'm going to go into even more detail and hopefully get more thoughts out than I was able to on the show.

This is part three in my continued analysis. If you missed either previous section you can find them here:

Part 1 - Powers
Part 2 - Squad Members

For this post I'm going to look at how the side missions have changed between both games.

Here I go with Part 2 of my series. If you missed Part 1 you can find it here. Again I reiterate that I’m picking out games not just for their quality but that I see as influential. For a lot of these I’m viewing potential to make an impact instead of actual impact just because they are so recent and we haven’t seen how they will affect the industry yet. I mean there was a time where someone could have predicted that Mario Party was going to cause a craze and we were going to see party games like that come to prominence. Now it did last for a couple of years with other imitators coming into the realm but it never really blew up. So remember as you read through these: grain of salt.
