I'm surprised they were able to get Sheen on board, but I'm not sure if his voice fits the Illusive Man that well yet. Maybe it's just cause I'm really familiar with Martin's work over the years compared to the others who I don't know that well.
What the hell do I care, it's still going to be the game of the forever.

Only people I needed to hear coming back are Keith David, (Anderson) and Seth Green (Joker)
I don't know any other game that has an All-star cast like this one.

I just got through with watching all 7 season of the West Wing, and I don't think I'm going to be able to hear that voice without thinking it's President Bartlett.

Why was that downvoted, it has as many stars as this. Keith David doesn't really count since he voices every black character in every game not done by Phil LaMarr.

Keith David looks far more badass than Captain Anderson ever will.
That said, looks like an all star cast, I can't wait!

New video of the Sentinel Class:

Looks like GOTY 2010 from everything I've seen so far.

Damn they've really improved all of the classes this time. I still want to play as a vanguard, because of that awesome super dash, body slam type move they have but they're definitely giving lots of incentives to replay.
Definitely goty 2010 though.

My first playthrough of ME2 will definitely be a vanguard. Best class from the original.

I tried to play the original ME, but the computer version was too buggy :\

Why was RKN downvoted? He was pointing that TheCodexAlera is wrong is stating ME2 is a 360 exclusive. It's coming out on PC the same day as 360, so it's not an exclusive. I say we downvote Alera for saying blatant lies on the exclusivity of ME2. Don't shoot the messenger(RKN), shoot the one who created the bad message(TheCodexAlera).

TheCodexAlera (another incarnation of Sprinkles), despites PC gaming anyways, its not even on his radar. I bet that idiot doesn't even know its coming to the PC, he said that it was a dying platform full of "pirating assholes".
Now, who downvoted all my posts? Sprinkles???

Knowing that Bioware is putting such an incredible effort behind the story telling elements in this game is very encouraging. I hope Mass Effect 2 does extremely well if only to encourage that effort in other developers.

my biggest problem with the game wasn't the frame rate, or even the repetitive side quests (i actually didn't mind those too much), it was item management.
being a completionist, i opened/hacked every single box i could find and took just about every item. this created several problems. the biggest was this: say you wanted to drop/convert/sell ammo. the 360 version would have you scroll all the way down to get to the crappier items, you would get rid of one (and only one), and it would kick you back to the top of the list, leaving you to scroll all the way down again etc etc.
that said, that's a pretty minor issue, so i loved the hell out of that game.

I noticed something else too: look closely at the hull markings of the Normandy. In ME1, her full designation was SSV Normandy SR-1, but in this clip, it clearly reads SSV Normandy SR-2. We know that the Normandy bites the big one at some point, but the question now is which Normandy goes boom, and is this why everyone thinks Sheppard is dead?

I was going to buy the limited but only if I had the money. Now I'm going out of my way to buy the limited edition.
100 fracking percent.
I think I'm going to be more excited about this than any game including MW2 and I love MW2 so much that its my GOTY.

Is it possible for this game to get any better? This will probably top Uncharted 2 as 'best sequel of all time'.

Sorry Darth but the best sequel of all time was Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

How fast and loose are you playing with the word sequel there? Uncharted 2 the best sequel of all time? LOL. Did you start playing games last month? (I realize that this may not be your actual opinion -the phrase is quotation marks- rather some sort of consensus, but still.)
Super Mario Bros 3? Street Fighter 2? Civilization II? GTA whatever you want? Numerous Zeldas? The list could probably extend for pages of games.

System Shock 2 gets that title. Being the best game ever made, that makes it the best sequel ever made by default.

For me Fallout 2 has to have it's name on that list as well.

My nerd factor went off the scale watching that. Man I have been holding back on watching videos of Mass Effect 2 but damn I'm going to hit up ME 1 after I finish Fallout 3.

He can walk he just has to be careful. The first game makes it look like hes in a wheelchair.
