Mass Effect Magazine Review

According to a poster on GameSpot and a listing on GameRankings, BioWare's Mass Effect has received its very first review score from Game Informer Magazine. The verdict? 9.75/10.
Some gems from the review (paraphrased):

"Best science fiction story since Star Wars, and best story in a video game, ever"

"They said they actually felt a strong sense of guilt when they yelled at one of their crewmen and she got all watery-eyed and teary"

"They said the combat and AI can be a little clumsy and overwhelming, besides that it's the second coming"

I imagine more reviews will be forthcoming, so it'll be interesting to see if the game continues to receive such high praise.
