In reference to Mass Effect; do you prefer the new commander Shepard, or the old one shown in the original video and batch of photos? In my opinion, the new one not only looks like less of a hero, not only seems more generic and much less inspired, but also just seems much less realistic. I mean judging by the latest batch of screenshots, it would seem like the only faces Bioware hasn' t been able to realistically portray are human ones. What gives? If you had come to me ten months ago and said that the graphics in the original Mass Effect video could not be reproduced ingame I would have agreed, but that is simply no longer the case. Gears of War has changed everything as far as our expectations for what is graphically possible go, and Crysis will push them even further. I think it' s time Bioware got with the program and started releasing some more impressive shots.

PS: Bioshock has been equallyh dissapointing as of late, with seemingly every character model suffering from rubberitis (clothes and skin) syndrome.
