Best of GR videos: Commander Shepard is the biggest prick in the galaxy

Thanks to your irrational love of loud, opinionated games coverage, GamesRadar has now thrived online for five (!) full years. We’ve got several celebratory plans in motion, but we also wanted to take this time to present some of our older video hits that may have slipped by in the past 60 months. Enjoy these “best of” hits and THANK YOU for allowing our stupidness to invade your life on a daily basis.

As a Spectre, Commander Shepard is devoted to justice and security by any means necessary. And while most of us would still choose to guide him down the friendly Paragon path, Shepard's sweeping authority gives him the right to punch people in the face for any reason. So, with a galaxy at stake (and a vengeful gamer at the helm), his trip through the Mass Effect galaxy quickly devolve into pure assholery.

Keep in mind this was originally postedFebruary 6, 2008, so this only pertains to the first Mass Effect. Part two was just a gleam in BioWare's compilers at that point.
