    Will be a 5/5. 
     
    Evidence: Brad's most recent tweet "I suppose I can appreciate the irony of frantically trying to finish a game that I never want to end."
     
    I think it's pretty obvious what he's talking about, and that we'll see brad's rockin head callin' it 5 stars.

    Judging by the 9.6 metacritic score, I would assume this will be a fiver for Brad along with the rest of the world haha. Mines arriving when I get off work. Amazon Prime FTW!

    The reviews for this game have blown me away thus far. Being a close follower of Playstation stuff it's really came out of left-field and made me wish my PC was powerful enough to run it.

    But, yes, it seems this game is incredible. In fact, I'm currently counting down the minutes I can bust out of work and buy it.

    Goodness, stop with the whole "I'm callin' it" fad. It was funny the first time, okay the second time, but by the third time it was annoying.

    there better be a good, long quick look when Blad posts his review. The crappy "quick look" that their doing on GameTrailers right now lacks all the charm and pathos of a Giant Bomb quick look.

    He should put up a joke review for a few minutes to scare everyone and then change it to the real thing.

    I can say from my 7.5 hour experience, it's well deserving of a 5/5. And a solid GOTY candidacy, i would say its game of the year, but who know, maybe ME3 will come out this year. (That's a joke, I know I have to clarify or people will jump on my throat with a jackhammer)

    They have brad reviewing it?  He has had a boner for Wrex for the last two years.  Continuously.  he would have given the original game a 5/5 when it clearly deserved a 4/5.

    Edit: And to be clear, the original is my #5 game of all time. So *clearly* that's an opinion. And since it has a metacritic of 94, i'm not the only one who holds my opinion that it deserved a 5/5.

    Calm the fuck down sucka.  Of course its an opinion, i just stated the difference between mine and brads.  He super loved the game.  Ok.  I didnt say he was taking a bribe or getting a blow job to give the game a 5.  Just said he loved the first and its obvious he is gonna give a stellar review.  Where did I question his integrity?  No where, that's where.  Just pointing out his love of these games and the obvious review coming.  Go home, rookie.
    By the way, I am playing through the game again after I lost my save to have it ready for when i get this game.

    @TheHBK: If that's not how you intended it I apologize, but it seems that you question it when you say that he would give it a 5 when it *clearly* deserved a 4. That being said, you're saying that his personal feelings toward the Mass Effect Franchise would get in the way of his ME2 (me inferring that). Again, if that's not how you intended it, sorry, but it seemed painfully obvious to me.

    God dammit. My copy still hasn't arrived at my retailer yet - and it's an extra day's wait from then til I get my hands on it.
     
    That's for importing the UK version for 360 - since MS doesn't bother with multiple voicetracks lately (damn DVDs) and I hate to be stuck with the German VOs.
     
    At least it's well worth the wait. And I might win a rockin' ME2 beanbag!

    If Wrex simply mutters "Shepard." after seeing you for the first time in there, it's an obvious 5/5. Because to get more badass than that, he'd have to say "Batman."
