Mass Effect 2 Is Having an Effect
I still know jack shit about Bioware’s sci-fi action-RPG Mass Effect, and all those “Choose Your companions / Fight for the Lost” commercials haven’t really made me want to rectify that. But the above trailer? Well, even though there’s no gameplay, it makes Mass Effect 2 seem supremely awesome, and I’m pretty sure it’s entirely due to the score. The sci-fi babble is nice, Martin Sheen is always welcome, but man, that score is fantastic. But I should probably give the first one a try before I bother playing #2, right?
