BenKii: Ok, I have one obvious comparison.
Mass Effect --> Star Trek
I think Mass Effect has way more in common with Babylon 5, to the point where it seems hard to imagine B5 wasn't a huge inspiration for the games at the outset.
very similar means of space travel Jump Gates - Mass Relays
Earth goes to war after first contacts with older alien races (Minbari - Turians)
Babylon 5 - The Citadel big space station used as hub of commerce and diplomacy for humans and aliens
Ancient powerful enemies returning after millennia (Shadows/Reapers)
Psychic powers (Telepaths vs. Bionics)
You could even argue the names Sheridan/Shepherd sound suspiciously similar.
