Besides giving a mention to Paul Verhoeven's great ultraviolent classics, no list here. I got to say that Mass Effect is like a dysfunctional child to me. I love it to death but it has some serious issues. Mass Effect 1's story is fine, it's just almost unplayable to me. Mass Effect 2's gameplay is just fine, but it's story is basically Meet The Cerebus. With every character being capable of dying, the loyalty missions don't really mean anything so the story is only really good for getting to know TIMmy and friends

[Noble 1]

1. Star Wars (All. I loved the old and the new Star Wars Trilogies)
2. Mass Effect/Halo
3. Halo/Mass Effect
4. Star Trek
5. Terminator

I couldn't decide between Halo and Mass Effect. Both very similar in scope and setting, yet extremely different in presentation and gameplay.

[Had-to-say]

No love for X-Files?

[Malanek]

1 Star Wars
2 Nights Dawn trilogy (and some other stuff from Peter Hamilton)
3 Alien (1 and 2 only)
4 Terminator
5 Blake's Seven

Top 3 universes for me are...

Dune
Mass Effect
Star Trek

[Kreid]

1.Isaac Asimov's works (Robots, Foundation series)
2.Arthur C.Clarke's works (Childhood's End, The Sentinel, Rendezvous with Rama, The Songs of Distant Earth, and I include here 2001; a Space Odyssey)
3.Phillip K. Dick's works (Do androids dream of electric Sheep?, Blade Runner, We can Remember it for you Wholesale)
4.Terminator 1&2
5.Alien Trilogy
6.The Matrix (the first one only)
7.Mass Effect
8.Firefly
9.Star Trek
10.Babylon 5
11.Dune
12.Orson Sctott Card's Ender saga
13.Star Wars
14.Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick
There are more books/graphic novels movies/series that I would put there like the Jodorowsky Incal/Metabarons verse, Watchmen (this one would be higher but it's not THAT much sci-fi) Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space series, Dan Simmon's Hyperion series etc...but it's a long list and I don't feel like writing it right now, IMO Mass Effect ranks higher than many would imagine.

Creid-X pretty much NAILED it. Esp Dune. Very underrated.

[Had-to-say]

I'm impressed with Creid-X's list also love how high Mass Effect is ranked. The community has some good taste.

 It really depends on the sci fi category. Blade Runner is my favorite, Star Wars is another, Mass Effect I love. In all sci fi in general (which would have to include little experiment and time travel things), I think there is too much competition for Mass Effect to be a top ten, but maybe if it were a specific cosmic sci fi subcategory we were ranking in, it would be higher.

[Julie the bogan]

what is the ultimate question to life the universe and everything?

[Had-to-say]

Well let me say I think Chris Carter made one of the best relationship between two characters ever with Scully and Mulder so many layers between those two and so unique. I could watch those two on TV forever. I hated that the show had to end. X-files is underrated with this community.

1. Alien
2. The Matrix
3. Blade Runner
4. Jurassic Park
5. Star Wars

[MrSuperCrazyAwesome]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure at number 1. Not the sequel, though, that was awful.

[InvaderErl]

1. Star Trek: The Original Series
2. Alien/Aliens
3. Blade Runner
4. Farscape
5. Doctor Who
6. Battlestar Galactica (remake)
7. Mass Effect (will change depending on how ME3 turns out)
8. District 9
9. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
10. Star Wars (would be higher but the prequels dragged this series way down)

Homeworld xD, that game was poetry mixed with the blood of gods.

[masseffectfan00]

Star Trek Voyager should be on everyone's top 1 list because not only is it the best Star Trek ever, it is the best sci fi ever.

[Firesteel]

1. Starship Troopers (Heinlein's novel, the movies sucked IMO)
2. The Forever War (We're talking a physicist writing a sci-fi book, I highly recommend it to anyone)
3. Halo (Including the books, it is very rich and technical for game based fiction)
4. Dead Space (Also very grounded in the real world)
5. Star Trek- all of the series, films, not so much
6. Alien- first film only, the rest sucked IMO
7. Blade Runner
8. District 9
9. Freespace series (for the extremely long and entertaining campaign and the great technical aspects of it)
10. Fallout (I'm a sucker for post-apocalypse settings)

* I would not say Mass Effect is pure science fiction, the whole universe is based on "Element Zero" a fictional element (it may exist but we have no knowledge of it yet). Without element zero, Mass Effect ships, weapons, and just about the entire universe could not exist, which makes it less scientific than other sci-fi, although Star Trek also pushes the limits on science fiction with anti-matter.

"It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So, man is an individual only because of his intangible memory..."

That quote is one reason why I love GITS.

[Malsumis]

1. Star Trek
2. Andromeda
3. Firefly
4. Stargate
5. Blade Runner
6. Dune
7. Battlestar
8. X-files
9. Fringe
10. Aliens

And I could keep going (ME is quite a bit further down the list) and that's just for TV shows/Movies, if I were to add books, well the list would get even longer. What I will say however is the ME universe has serious potential to go down well if more spinoffs(good) occur (Books/TV shows/movies/games etc).

If we are just talking about games, well it's #1, piping Wing Commander.

Finally some X-Files love. I hope the show gets a reboot with a great cast and we get to see the finale of the hybrid plot line. Kudos to your list.

So the only difference between sci-fi and fantasy is that one is driven by logic and the other by mere brute existence? that doesn't sound right, to me anyway. Some parts of ME are clearly not logical or at least don't make initial common sense. vice versa Star Wars and other Fantasy settings can have a clearly well though out backstory and have logical conclusions. so my point is this cannot be the only overdriving difference between the two.

I'm not saying that they aren't different, I'm just saying that can't be the only thing that separates them as genres. just saying. anyway back on topic, I think I would rank Mass Effect as in the top twenty of great sci-fi's, with Mass effect at number 12 of that rank.

[Archereon]

The line between science fiction (soft sci fi at least) and fantasy is not entirely clear in many cases, but for Mass Effect at least, it's unambiguously science fiction, albeit of the "Adventure" type (out of Amisov's three types of science fiction: Gadget (focused on the hard or not so hard science of it) Adventure (using the science as an enabler) and Social (focused on the impact of the science on society), and one which isn't particularly hard, despite what certain fans will tell you.

Star Wars is a much better example of a series that defies classification, for reasons mentioned above.

Now in terms of my top 10, Mass Effect didn't make it into the top 5 but it did make top 10.

1. Ender's Game: Yeah.
2. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
3. Bladerunner: The movie and the book are actually quite different, and compliment each other well.
4. Inception (Yes it's sci fi, and yes I know it was overrated, something with the movie just clicked with me, largely in terms of Fischer's subplot with his father, and the emotional affect was rather astonishing.)
4. 2001 A Space Odyssey
5. Starship Troopers.
6. Also consequently, it's spiritual video game adaptation: Starcraft (1 at least).
7. Alien/Aliens.
8. Star Wars
9. Mass Effect
10. The Matrix (the first was excellent, but the sequels...*gags*)
