I think I peed a little. Mass Effect is one of my faourite games ever, and this second one looks twice as good.

given EA's tendency to publish their games on as many consoles as possible, i'm hoping that they port the first ME to ps3 and bring the sequel to ps3 sometime down the road too. otherwise, looks like i'm buying another xbox 360, because the first game was one of the best i've ever played.

i cannot wait for this game!!!  Mass Effect 1 was a breakthrough for rpg shooters on consoles. i wonder how theyll manage given the multiple endings at the end of the first one.

Fuck I can't wait. Once I finish playing Mass Effect 2, unless there is going to be a third, I could die a very happy man.

I am totally blown away by that. Honestly, I wasn't all too sure about what Bioware had in store for the sequel, but hot damn, this looks extremely promising. Can't wait until E3.

Eh, ME fucking sucked balls.  They would really have to step things up for me to buy this crap again.  I really havent liked anything Bioware has done since KoTOR.  The combat, and driving the rover were soo bad imo that it just ruined the game.  i was not entertained by the story enough to tough it out.

Even thought i enjoyed the first, i felt it was over rated and a disappointment overall for the hype that was put behind it. THIS however has got me happy in the pants for Mass Effect again. As the good doctor's have said in numerous interviews this is the Empire Strikes Back of the franchise. The dark second act. I like dark mature content in my games.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
