Obviously, I’m a few months behind on stating the fact that Mass Effect 2 is easily Game of the Year 2010 material. For the few people who have been hiding under rocks, or haven’t taken their eyes off of World of Warcraft since 2004 now is the time for change! Mass Effect 2 is easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. From start to finish you will find yourself challenged, engaged and intrigued. Once you finish, guess what? You’ll want to start all over again! I haven’t had that feeling since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For those not familiar with the Mass Effect series, its a Sci-Fi series that followings Commander Shepard (a human) as he leads his crew through various missions that seem to be above and beyond anything that everyone else in the galaxy is doing. In the first game it is established that Shepard is a badass, to fully illustrate that point he is appointed as the first human Spectre. Spectres are basically the galaxy’s badasses who can go around and break the rules to get the results for the Citadel Counci (the multi-racial council composed of humans and several alien races)l. There are many alien races; all of them are interesting and purposeful. You will interact with them, and serve alongside them in your crew. What Mass Effect 2 does is completely improve on every possible aspect of Mass Effect. I don’t want to ruin the story at all so I’m just going to comment on the game play. Straight up, it is perfect. Controls have never felt better, the level system is awesome, the party system is fantastic. All in all, an amazing game. I strongly suggest that everyone play it ASAP and then comment and tell me how awesome it was. You’ll be glad you did once you reach the end of the game after some 40+ hours on the edge of your seat!
