Some of the cast list for ME2 has been announced

Martin Sheen in probably the biggest name in there, but on top of Seth Green and Keith David returning for their previous roles, you also have Adam Baldwin (Firefly), Tricia Helfer (

Battlestar Galactica) and Michael Hogan (Battlestar Galactica)

Woah, Keith David and Micheal Dorn?

All this time, 6 playthroughs of ME1, and I just realized Captain Anderson has the same voice actor as Goliath from Gargoyles

F'in bad ass. Also, there's a video introducing the cast.

Exploding tech armor sounds fun. Now lets just hope that Keith David & Michael Dorn are in a scene together

It was in Borderlands.

Oh God, every class looks great. How can I choose.

New trailer.

I'm just going to go ahead and say this is going to be the best game of 2010. Just 6 weeks!

Tuffty · « **Reply #69 on:** December 13, 2009, 11:01:34 PM »

Having Martin Sheen in the game is just as awesome as expected by the sounds of it.

Just who is The Illusive Man anyway? Was he ever mentioned in ME1, or is it an all new character for this game?

zoolander · « **Reply #70 on:** December 15, 2009, 05:31:40 AM »

I've heard some people who read the books talking about him before. Wiki says:

[bgcolor=#000000]The Illusive Man is the elusive and secretive leader of Cerberus. His face is perfectly symmetrical and his nose perfectly proportioned, likely from cosmetic surgery. He has close-cropped silver-grey hair with "steely blue" eyes. The Illusive Man's real name and his life before Cerberus are both long forgotten. For years, the Illusive Man has been using Cerberus and his immense network of contacts to achieve his goal - making humanity ascendant above all other races. He is described as having the best and worst traits of humanity rolled into one man. He drinks, smokes, and womanizes but he is also a brilliant, charming man. [/bgcolor]

Any other year I would say the same thing but 2010 is just crazy loaded with games that could be my potential GOTY.

Mass Effect 2
God of War 3
Last Guardian
Super Mario Galaxy 2

All high chance of GOTY for me. Then there's also

Alan Wake
Star Craft 2
Diablo 3
Final Fantasy 13
Bioshock 2
Mafia 2
Yakuza 3
Red Dead Redemption
Heavy Rain
Castlevania LOS
Bayonetta
Dante's Inferno
Lost Planet 2
Gran Turismo 5
Splinter Cell Conviction

and a crap load of others.

That said Mass Effect 2 is still probably the game I'm most excited about.

Extended CG trailer

Also, be warned. A list of achievements were revealed, none are listed as Secre's either so expect massive story spoilers before you read. Needless to say I'm avoiding it like the plague.

I've not even played the first one yet..think I should go ahead and do it?

Asmodai · « **Reply #73 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:56:00 PM »

Yeah, the first one is very much worth playing.

HECK YEA! PLAY IT!!

12 min walkthrough. Normandy looks awesome now! They took out the elevators though.

^ Awesome! The Normandy looks so cool!

But yeh, I didn't mind the elevators either, it fleshed out the characters and the world a little bit more. Now the elevators in the Normandy, that was sort of annoying as you had no people to speak to. Good to hear the Galaxy Map music back in action too

Giant Bombcast: Mass Effect 2 Edition

Quote

We sit down with BioWare's Casey Hudson to discuss Mass Effect 2's sci-fi inspiration, DLC, sexy aliens, the BioWare doctors, and more.

^ In case you're wondering there's only one what I would call, big spoiler in that podcast. While not revealing anything specific and it's really highlighted as an example of how your choices can affect the end game but:

[bgcolor=#000000]if you don't plan it right or approach the end game being as badass as you can be on this 'suicide mission' they've hyped ME2 up to be, then Shepard will die. And I don't mean 'Game Over' dead, I'm talking 'dead' dead

[/bgcolor]

I'll read a few reviews, Eurogamer's and Giant Bomb's in particular and then that's it. I'm officially on a media blackout for that game, even though I said I would do it a few posts back

I think IGN is one of the first to review it where they gave it a [bgcolor=#000000]9.6[/bgcolor]

winner · « **Reply #78 on:** January 25, 2010, 10:16:52 PM »

I really need to get off my lazy butt to see if it's out yet.

Wonder how the main character is going to be moved over to ME2. I'll be buying the 360 version just because of that.
Since I created a female Shepard, I hope they better have added extra lines for saying stuff like:
"Shepard and his rag-clad team better begin trusting each other, or it's the end of all cockroaches as we know it"

zoolander · « **Reply #79 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:54:21 PM »

Most of what transfers over is the decisions you made during the story. Like whether the citadel council or Wrex live. Everything else like appearance, class and what not can be changed.

Ugh, this week I have to choose between Mass Effect 2 and food. Plus I heard the spoilers.
