Mass Effect was probably one of the best and most controversial games of 2007. This action-RPG came under fire because the game supposedly contained gameplay that showed and encouraged graphic sexual acts among the crew of your ship, the Normandy. [Editor’s note: In the case of Mass Effect we agree with the reviewer that the media reaction was overblown and unjustified. However there are still some offensive content issues throughout the game which will be exposed later in the review.]

Jade Empire is in the wuxia genre, based in a mythical setting inspired by ancient China, and allows the player to progress through an adventure based on traditional martial arts. As the character (who can be either male or female) progresses through the game, he/she is able to discover and develop new fighting styles(either martial arts, weapon styles, magic styles, support styles or transformation styles).
