One of the more anticipated games of 2009 to be pushed out of its Fall/Winter release to 2010 is Mass Effect 2 from BioWare. The space epic has today officially been given a date of January 26th, 2010. BioWare also revealed that reserve customers will receive exclusive weapons upon pick-up of the game. Those that have reserved at GameStop will receive the Terminus Assault Armor and the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon. Here s some info on each: * The Terminus Armor is designed for use in extreme planetary conditions, increasing run speed and personal shields, and augmenting weapons with an additional magazine of reserve ammo. * The M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon generates a high-powered localized gravity well, accelerating particles to near-infinite mass, and ultimately expanding the selection of heavy weapons available to players when they gear up for combat missions in Mass Effect 2. Gamestop customers are not the only ones getting bonuses however, as those reserving at any other outlet will the Inferno Armor. * The Inferno Armor is used by officers to monitor battlefield conditions by recognizing elevated heart rates, and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times – together these abilities translate in-game into a negotiation bonus for Commander Shepard and an increase in run speed and augmented damage from combat powers. Hopefully you already know the scoop on Mass Effect 2, but if not, here is the rundown: The Mass Effect trilogy is an emotionally charged science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets. In Mass Effect 2, players will once again step into the role of the heroic Commander Shepard, commanding their crew of some of the most dangerous operatives from across the galaxy on a mission so challenging that it’s potentially suicidal. Featuring intense shooter action, a rich futuristic storyline, space exploration and emotionally engaging character interaction, the game delivers an unparalleled cinematic experience. I wish this game would be available earlier but you really cannot push quality. I can let it slide. Just this once.

One of the richest game universes ever, Mass Effect, is adding another character to its roster for the second release in the series, Mass Effect 2. Today Bioware announced and released media of the female character Subject Zero . She is probably the last thing you would think the Mass Effect universe could have, but considering Bioware s knack for a compelling plot, it only makes sense. If you watch the video, you will see how awesome she is. Or looks. Bioware can obviously model characters in 3 dimensions very well. I am going to nerd it up so much when this game comes out, I am scared. Here s how the developer describes Subject Zero: Subject Zero is introduced in the trailer released today by EA, and it’s apparent from the start that she may be too much to handle – even for Commander Shepard. In a flurry of non-stop action showcasing her combat experience and strength Subject Zero reveals only a bit about her mysterious past, and says she’s “been around, ran with gangs, wiped out some gangs.” Viewers will be able to see a little bit of Subject Zero in action, as she proves with firepower and fighting maneuvers how valuable an ally she will be in Mass Effect 2. In a keynote speech delivered to the International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents centered on the power of quality digital actors, Project Director Casey Hudson said, Videogames have developed from a novel pastime into a medium with tremendous power to entertain and engage players. Compelling digital actors can bring a game world to life, and by harnessing cutting-edge technology, developers can ultimately unlock the full potential of emotionally engaging human interaction. With an attitude to match, Subject Zero is a formidable biotic – as powerful as she is intriguing. Her detailed tattoos mark her favorite kills – “the good ones”. Mystery and fascination surround this uncontrollable rebel, which will undoubtedly leave fans wanting more. Subject Zero is the third party member to be revealed in the Mass Effect 2 universe following ‘Thane’, a deadly assassin and ‘Grunt’, an unpredictable Krogan who were introduced this summer. More details about the rest of Shepard’s crew will be revealed in the coming months. The official Mass Effect website includes a trailer and a few screens to introduce the character.
