After a serious weekend binge on Bioware's latest space opera, I'm clear-headed on this much: EA and Bioware didn't taint Mass Effect 3 by adding multiplayer. They made the game, and the concept of multiplayer in general, more interesting.

The quasi-realistic military FPS games boasts more concurrent users than Facebook and every installment over the last few years has been met with the kind of rabid anticipation that few other entertainment events can match.
