The sci-fi RPG drew raves from reviewers when it launched earlier this year on PC and Xbox 360. The original game was published by Microsoft, and thus never made it to PlayStation 3. The sequel, published by EA, will soon be multiplatform, although it will have been a year before Sony gamers get their hands on it.

Electronic Arts said that Mass Effect 2 is the highest-rated game in the publisher’s 28-year history.
