Ignoring all the generic 'darker, better, faster, more action oriented, better combat, more AWESOME' spin that the propaganda merchants pump out, it looks like it's shaping up nice. Real nice. Hopefully we'll find ourselves picking up where ME left off, with that excellent 'we may have won the battle, but the war is still being fought' cliffhanger that concluded the original game.

Other things I'm hoping to see are a less broken inventory interface, which was pretty unintelligible the first time round, and a bigger spectrum of weaponry - not just more classes of firearm, but less bland, lazily unoriginal 'Phantom, Phantom II, Phantom III, Phantom IV ...' stuff with greater uniquety and personality to it. More than two gun models for a start, and a good variety of muzzle reports should sate me.

Will probably come out on PC some time in the future, but remains X360 for all intents and purposes since PC ports are a joke.

Definitely looking out for this one. A friend of mine directed me towards this game a long long time ago but I paid no heed until about 2 months ago when I bought it in Game for a fiver (game of the week, gotta love it) and I instantly fell in love with it. Yes, it was insanely annoying that there were two models for everything, but it was a wonderful feeling game, also loved the fact that my Shepard was black ala Samuel L or perhaps even Morgan Freeman, which made me feel totally epic (if I'm honest) I'm just hoping that all their big talk results in a big game. Here's Hoping.
