If ever you needed a reason to be very very, very careful when asking out-of-touch relatives for birthday and Christmas presents, this list is is reason. "Ooh, it's a shiny disc in a small, flat box", says Grandma, while being a bit confused in HMV. "It says 'Halo' on it. That must be what Jimmy wants"

There are many ways to play through Mass Effect's epic
story, and many Shepards to choose from. And not all Shepards are created
equal. There's a case to be made that the best, most interesting version of
