Interesting. I really liked Mass Effect 2. I normally can't stand video game stories and cut scenes. But, the production quality of the graphics, 3D, etc. kept me interested.

I see your points though. I didn't read/listen to any of the log notes, messages, codexes or whatever kept getting updated there. And the gameplay is pretty simple.

I'd like to see a game with the character/story work of ME2, the environment of Red Dead Redemption and the movement UI of Assassin's Creed 2.

On another note, the NCAA 2010 demo looks horrible to me. Bugs galore. Sloppy production.
