Mass Effect 2 Officially Announced

PC, Xbox 360

Everyone knew it was coming - hell, we'd already seen screenshots. Still, it's good to see Mass Effect 2 officially announced by EA and Bioware regardless. You never can be too sure, especially in this economic climate. You can check out the teaser trailer on the official website. I suppose the following information about the plot of the game might be considered minorly spoilerish, so beware.

In this dark second chapter, Saren's evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans, still struggling to make their mark on the galactic stage, are now faced with an even greater peril...

"We're going to surpass the extraordinary gaming experience we brought our fans in Mass Effect by delivering intensified combat and expanded weapon options as well as increased depth of planet exploration, all while delivering a powerful, emotionally engaging story," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager and CEO, BioWare and General Manager and Vice President, EA. "Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be an unforgettable RPG-shooter experience, taking players on a non-stop roller-coaster ride filled with stunning plot twists and no-holds-barred action."

Mass Effect 2 is coming to PC and Xbox 360 in early 2010.

Poured a lot of hours into this but never finished it. The first one I mean. The graphics wowed me when I first played it though, would like to go back and get it done.

hmmmm ... better dust off the first one and finish it. Never quite got around to it, was pretty boring at the start.

I knocked it off on the 360 a while back, it has a really good ending (game play and story wise) so you two should def get around to it

Yeah it took me a while to get into but then I just busted it out non stop. Mostly I was exploring planets though, barely bothered with the story. So it shouldn't be too hard to dust off now
