Mass Effect 2 Review

This week we discuss one of our favorite space operas of all time, Mass Effect 2, from Bioware. You return as Commander Shepard in this 2011 sequel, and are once again doing your very best to save the galaxy. We discuss reunions with your old buddies, dramatic meetings with ex-lovers on Horizon, building party loyalty, inter-species romance, being a exhibitionist in the engine room and the best suicide mission ever.
