Given Mass Effect 3 has only been confirmed about half a dozen times and the game was CREATED AS AS A TRILOGY, I fail to see what proof you need here.
go to the new poll, i specified the reason's.
on second thought dont, you'll just ***** like all the others who still think im wrong, and ignore my advice to go make their own poll if they want it their

Out of those, I voted Halo. It's a nicely put together universe. The story is roughly average IMO, but the storytelling is very nice.

Out of the ones NOT in the poll, Mass Effect has a very nice sci-fi universe which Bioware have clearly put a lot of thought into. The story is also good, though the storytelling (at least in the first game) could have used some patching up. I'd also like to nominate the Homeworld series for being brilliant all round - well, the first one at least. The story is simple, but effective, and told with atmosphere and emotion.

How about a GOOD reason not to include the game? The fact the game doesn't have a commercial is terrible criteria to exclude it.

Seriously though, do you have something against Mass Effect?

ok, a portable game for a phone is an app, not a game
What a tick, a portable GAME isn't actually a game? What about the GAMEboy? so all those games I played on the game boy weren't games? just "apps"?
did you ignore the part that it's on a PHONE. game boy's have cartridges and psp Cd's. phones have applications that can be held on a small hard drive. in those terms, i should have included galaga
You DID ignore the fact that you already called it a game yourself, and why cant games play phones, have you seen the tech demos id have done with their newest engine on the iPhone, there is no reason what so ever that phones cant be used to play games. It is a perfectly valid platform, just because the games are generally more casual doesn't mean they aren't games. So phones are not gaming platforms because they are stored on a hard drive? well i guess all the games I have installed on my computer aren't actually games? So next time I boot up Call of Duty or TF2, I'll have to say "I'm off to play an app"?

I really don't understand what your point is? Don't like to admit that you filled your posts with contradictions?

Ok, not fantasy, so no final fantasy, god of war or others
Movie based games don't count and sense their half that and their are too many too count,
star wars is excluded
tell me if i forgot any
Edit: 3 games or more means MASS EFFECT DOESN'T COUNT
Edit 2: ok I'm re posting this sense i have screwed up, but mass effect 2 doesn't count because it doesn't have anything to prove it's close to being finished
You missed Duke Nukem too, you know. My vote would go for Mass Effect, probably. Or Duke Nukem. Or Starcraft.

hmm...
no, i just never had a chance to play it, except for when we had it before we gave it to my sisters bf. but it seemed like a cliche at the beginning, the aliens always the treacherous basterd and the coolest character is killed off at the beginning.
in truth i want to play it all the way through, but only if the combat gets better, because TPS only worked for transformers on its 3rd try.

By that logic I can say that Bioshock doesn't count because Infinite isn't even close to being finished.

Seriously, what's with you and the anti-Mass Effect bias? Does it bother you that the game is so popular?
Show me a commercial of mass effect 3 and I'll admit I'm wrong
Show me a Bioshock 3 commercial and I'll believe you.
give me a sec to figure out how to add videos...

I don't see a 3 anywhere in that trailer. Its a prequel, meaning that it isn't the third game in the series, but a spinoff. Doesn't meet your criteria, which I feel makes all your statements invalid.

Also, why don't I see X-com on that list? It has 3 games... Or more. If you won't count the unofficial ones then the third one is coming out eventually!

It were 5 official games by MicroProse:

UFO: Enemy Unknown (Round based strategy)
XCom: Terror from the Deep (Round based strategy)
XCom: Apocalypse (Round based strategy with optional pausable Realtime)
XCom: Interceptor (Wing Commander-like flying with XCom-like basebuilding)
XCom: Enforcer (Third person shooter. Bad, but hilarious.)

There is also the UFO series (Aftermath, Aftershock, Afterlight) that is very similar, but not part of the IP.
