OWR: Mass Effect

Welcome to One Word Review, GamerNode's unique take on videogame critique. Every Sunday, we will present a single game, reviewed with but a single word from each of a handful of reviewers. You may not always find our words in your standard dictionary, but we have faith that you will catch our meaning, nonetheless. Videogames are so often rated, reviewed, and discussed to exhaustion, so while some may call OWR a creative way to be lazy, we call it succinct, sincere...and fun. We love reader input at GN, so be sure to throw your own OWRs in the comments section, too.

One of last year's biggest Xbox 360 hits and recipient of second place honors in GamerNode's 2nd annual Nodie Awards, BioWare's Mass Effect will arrive on the PC this week in a slick, updated form. Lots of the guys around GN thoroughly enjoyed this unique-yet-familiar western RPG, and that sentiment has been echoed throughout the gaming press. Descriptions such as "transcendant," "breathtaking," "impressive," and "staggering" clearly convey the message; let's see what the GN staff can conjure up for this week's OWR.

Eddie's OWR: "Veneer"

jambo's OWR: "sexbox"

Chris C's OWR: "Vanguard"

Chris A's OWR: "Ploterific"

Tim's OWR: "Sidequestsuckage"
