I have noticed that when I first couple of playthroughs of a given game run flawlessly, but over time performance drops. ME1 is becoming unplayable. The textures are slow to load (and at certain points if I don't wait a while before proceeding it will screwe up cutscenes), there is a popping sound whenever audio start, the FPS drops here and there, there is occasional audio lag and most troubling of all is that the program keeps shutting down for no reason. I'll just being playing and everything freezes for no apparent reason.
Out of curiousity, I was wondering if it is normal protocol to uninstall and reinstall PC games? Do they become corrupted after time if you don't reinstall them?
If I am supposed to reinstall it periodically, which files do I need to keep so that all my achievements and talents aren't lost?
ME1 (and every other game's) performance issues

No, you aren't expected to uninstall and reinstall. You are supposed to offer a summary ~~ components, drivers, OS, and SP#, of the system you are complaining about. If you do not do that, or will not do so, there's really nothing more to discuss here.

Why would it matter? The hardware hasn't changed from when I first played the game and it worked fine. And this is not an issue that only occurs with ME1. All games play flawlessly the first time and performance degrades over time. If I bought and installed Battlefield 2 it would work perfectly. 6 months from now it would have occasional lag, the program would lock up from time to time, etc.
If I did reinstall it, what files would I need to backup in order to not lose data?

Why would it matter? You could have a substandard video card, and by trying to push full resolution and graphic details you are burning it out and that can be causing your problem. You might be running out of hard drive space and thus the swap file has no room to read/write data. There could be dozens more reasons, which a full problem report can help us pinpoint.
Or, it could be the most insidious of all known computer virii, Pebkac.

Sounds like data corruption.. Check temps, check your memory for errors and do a burn in test.. check your drives too.
It's very common for memory timing to need to set manually.
I had that issue before. I had to manually set VCore and edge it up a bit. My 750i chipset and mobo's 2 phase power can't quite handle a 45nm quad core... Well it can now.
