Mass Effect 2: time to save the universe again

It's been awhile since I bought a video game that I was really excited about. Actually, now that I think about it, my game collection is made up of games I sort of just bought on a whim because it sounded good or because it had a good multi-player component. So not the case for Mass Effect 2. I've been waiting for this game since I finished the first one. Hands down, Mass Effect was the best video game ever and the sequel is proving to be worthy of that title, too. If I suddenly stop posting all together, it's because I can't stop playing ME2. :-D

I think the sign of any good game is you find yourself thinking about wanting to play it when you should be doing other things. I could not stop thinking about playing when I got home while at work today. I'll probably end up playing all weekend and I doubt I'll even finish a quarter of the game. Who needs a social life, right? ;-)
