Jesus Christ, reminds me how much I loved the first game, even though it was incredibly flawed.

I've never been this teased by a man before. Well once, but stuff that happens in Mexico doesn't count.

I'm really excited about this game. There aren't many games I'd consider paying full price for nowadays, but this is one of them.

I can't wait to see this at E3.  Mass Effect is one of my favorite games so far of this generation.

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg! 2010 is too far off! The last season of Lost will have already started when this game comes out. Argh! 30 Rock will come back in fall. There's just not enough to do until then. Damn those guys with their effective teasing. Now I'm bummed out.

Meh, didn't care too much for ME 1. Sub standard FPS with pretend choices and shallow RPG-ish stat system which only served made the shooting even more boring because you were locked into a single weapon/power for 95% of the game. It did have a really, really good atmosphere though. Sounds like they are at least trying to improve on where I felt ME 1 failed.

You mean they're going to make a Mass Effect that's more awesome than the first, and it WON'T have technical issues? Damnit. Now I'm officially hyped. E3 needs to be now.

Wow.  I am so looking forward to this game.  Looks like the Normandy gets almost blown up at some stage with you on board it, then.

I actually got butterflies in my stomach at the end when Hudson was talking about Shepard. Damn, now I suddenly want to be at E3 very badly.

Not so sure about the "limbs flying off" part. It didn't seem necessary in the previous Mass Effect, but hopefully the darker story in this one will make that choice make sense.

Man, Bioware just keeps tweaking my balls! The only thing I want out of E3 is to know who I'll be playing as in ME2. Whether it's Shepard or some other dude/dudette I don't care. I just need to know. My heart can't take the suspense!

the first face on screen, casey, was the same voice for mass effect 1 trailers.  that guy should do voiceover work.  he's got a distinct voice with an enjoyable quality to it.

First game was awesome, fix  graphic bugs and make the combat more interesting and you'd have a 5 star game so I'm expecting a lot from this game.

Probably the game I am most looking forward to.  Good thing Wrex didn't die in my playthrough in Mass Effect 1, he is an awesome character, and hopefully I'll get to roll with him in my party in ME 2.

When that music kicked in really brought me back to how awesome mass effect was. I really like the direction their taking with the second one being more dark ,gritty, dirty.
