While there was a lot to like about RPGs like Alpha Protocol (a cool spy-RPG from Obsidian) and Star Wars: The Old Republic (a cool prequel Star Wars MMO from BioWare!), Mass Effect 2 ended up dropping the most jaws among us. It probably helps that the game is primed to be the "Empire Strikes Back" of RPGs -- the dark, yet supremely crafted second act of an epic sci-fi trilogy. Solid improvements to combat, great visuals, and some genuinely shocking story events (we won't spoil here, but they're a doozy) all cement Mass Effect 2 as the E3 RPG winner.
