Well, this is certainly a Bioware RPG, and if you really, really like the Bioware games you're going to absolutely love this game, you'll probably declare it Game Of The Year 2010, even though it clearly won't be.

Come on, it isn't that good.

One of my favourite games is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, I have a soft spot for games that are actually scary, that make you cringe in fear, make you dread what happens next, yet drive you forward by using attraction combined with revulsion. It isn't easy to do, few games, or films for that matter have managed it. Arguably, games being interactive, they have the advantage, Silent Hills 1, 2, and 4 being good examples that aren't Dark Corners of the Earth. Oh and System Shock 2.

Wait, that's all the games that have managed it.

This game is quite highly rated, it is also somewhat suspiciously rated. The ratings given vary widely, there is good reason for this.

It is irredeemably awful.
