I remember playing the first Mass Effect. In fact, I remember purchasing it day one because it really seemed like an interesting game, a different take on all the other “space” games out there. But at the same time, I have never made it passed a single RPG, unless it actually was a rocket-propelled grenade, in which case, I have. A role-playing game however, as I said, I haven’t been able to start and finish one, ever. Mass Effect was no exception. What sucked most of all was the idea I had about the story in the game being something I would’ve loved to engage and get through, but the actual gameplay bored me in the long run. Now, with that in mind, you might have figured out that I won’t be buying Mass Effect 2, for two reasons: one, everything I just said and two, I would never play a sequel without having played the original first. Principles and all that.

Having said that, I’m not one to hate everything about a game I don’t like. In fact, even though I’m not looking forward to Mass Effect 2 in the least, I won’t deny that the launch trailer was one piece to not look away from. It’s beautiful, sexy, explosive, massive and epic, all at once. BioWare sure knows how to captivate its faithful followers, especially when they release stuff like this. It’s simply put, awesome!
