Tag: Mass Effect 2

One of the things I love in Mass Effect 2 are the detailed non-human characters. The default male Shepard looks like garbage compared to the beings around him. Based on looks alone the best made character has to be Grunt, but in general they’re all detailed and unique.

How’s that for search engine optimization eh? I should get a Guinness World Record for the most number of Mass Effects in a title. But on to the great news! The PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 has gone gold, i.e.

Next month’s Mass Effect 2 is going to be huge. Not that the first game was any slouch in the size department, with its dozens of (lookalike) planets to explore and the kind of choice-filled plot BioWare is famous for.

How’s this for mildly confusing: Mass Effect 2 will be available in a Collector’s Edition set packed with goodies, and the game will feature enemies named Collectors. I’m pretty sure they will not be filled with goodies, not even if you hit them with a plank of wood while blindfolded.

If you were paying attention during E3, you probably noticed a prominent new face in the trailer for Mass Effect 2. Newly released screenshots offer a longer, lingering look at Thane, an assassin who’ll be a part of the squad in the upcoming sequel. I don’t know much about this guy, other than the fact that he is ninja-silent and thoroughly bad.
