10 Best Alien Invasion Games You Should Play
They're coming.

4. Mass Effect series

Cool guys don’t look at explosions.

One of the flagship series for BioWare, the RPG/cover-shooter games of the Mass Effect trilogy are possibly the best sci-fi games ever made. You fight as Shepard, a human soldier against universe-eating robots calling themselves the Reapers. During your adventures, you will visit many places in the galaxy, fight and recruit all kinds of aliens, all the while being in a universe that feels real. While the last ten minutes of the third game may have been a bit of a letdown, the journey there is absolutely, without a doubt worth it.

My rating: 4.5/5

Go out there, and give them hell!
