Captain's Log: Stardate: October 16, 2009. Electronic Arts has announced that Mass Effect 2, the next installment in BioWare's epic space opera, will jump to North American and European retail on January 26 and 29, 2010, respectively. The North American GameStop pre-order bonus will include:
Terminus Armor -- "Increasing run speed and personal shields, and augmenting weapons with an additional magazine of reserve ammo."
The M-90 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon -- "Generates a high-powered localized gravity well, accelerating particles to near-infinite mass."
Those who preorder from other retailers will receive the Inferno Armor, which gives Shephard "an increase in run speed and augmented damage from combat powers." And thus begins the Q1 2010 release bonanza ...

Update: Check out concept art of the Terminus Armor and M-90 Blackstorm after the break.

Yes, we realize the gun says "M88" even though it's supposed to be the "M-90 Blackstorm." Confusing things even more, one of EA's asset sites notes it as the "M-490," so let's just say it's "a gun" for now.


i thought that mass effect weapons had infinite ammo kind of curious

My thought exactly.

Perhaps the new "special" weapons they're adding to the game have limited ammo.  That would probably make sense, since the game would probaby be too easy (yet fun) if you used a limitless rocket launcher through the entire game.

Still to play the first mass effect.I only played about the first 10 mins then got bored of it.Will probably have another go at some point.Just got about a 100 games to get through first as well as any new releases coming out!

If you buy a retail copy of Dragon Age:Origins then you get a DLC code for 'Dragon Blood Armor' that is useable in ME2

Mass Effect 2 is NOT Coming to the PS3

The BioWare community manager whose comments in Poland led some to believe Mass Effect 2 would be coming to the PS3 has corrected his statements. Mass Effect 2 is still a PC and Xbox 360 release only.

Jay Watamaniuk, the community manager involved, posted the following yesterday afternoon in the BioWare forums:

There is a report circulating today based on an appearance I made in Poland yesterday. Seems there was a misunderstanding about ME2 coming to PS3.

Let me clarify today: ME2 is coming to PC and X360 only. Look for them both on Jan 26 in NA and Jan 29 in Europe.

Sorry for the confusion.

Watamaniuk's misstatement might not have generated much buzz had it not been preceded by listings on Electronic Arts' own Russian Web site, and an Australian retailer's, showing Mass Effect 2 as available for the PS3. EA told Kotaku that the listings were "both mistakes and they're being corrected."

Looks like Cameron Diaz wearing a wig.

I think the revealed boxart looke 'meh'.  I liked the leaked boxart better.



Of course, I'm buying the Collector's Edition of the game, so the boxart I'll be looking at will be
