Xbox 360 had its first incarnation of Mass Effect in 2007, said to be the best of its kind in games’ history, and when players finished this game, they wanted to keep going. This particular game had a great ending, and it also had some of the best characters most of us who played Mass Effect had ever seen. They were multidimensional, and were so real that they stayed in your mind long after the game was complete. Games like Mass Effect have in fact put Xbox 360 firmly in the lead as far as sales went, and Mass Effect earned a lot of money for Bioware.

If you have played Mass Effect on Xbox recently, then you probably still have your saved game. To those that have played it when it was first released, loved everything about it and deleted the saved game, you would not be too happy when you know that you will be missing out on a very big treat.

If you still have the first Mass Effect file, saved, you can keep it until early next year. At that time, Mass Effect 2 will be released, and you can actually import your saved game so that you’ll start right off in Mass Effect 2 where you left off in the first Mass Effect game.[youtube:1FwA10on2nc;[link:xbox 360 hack];http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FwA10on2nc&feature=related]

That is not what the big deal is about. The big deal is that your character’s moral standing and all the choices you have made in the first Mass Effect carries over to the second game. Your choices affect the second game, and with your saved file you will get the impression of one lengthy experience.

Imagine when the credits rolled at the end of the first Mass Effect, and the second game kicks off. Many fans have come across the Mass Effect 2 teaser trailer. On the trailer the camera pans over a familiar armor suit. As the camera nears the chest area, we make out N7 on the suit, and then we finally realize that the suit belongs to the main character, Shepherd.

We lose our anticipation when we realize that the suit is worn by a Geth soldier and it flashes on the screen that Shepherd was killed-in-action. There were exaggerations of Shepherd’s death, and you would be happy to know that he is back in Mass Effect 2 and this time he faces a whole new threat.

What’s good to know about Mass Effect 2? Well, there are multiple endings, as in the first Mass Effect. This time, your primary mission is a suicide mission, which you will be told about at the beginning of the game. Shepherd and his team know this, too.

What will it be? The entire team, and you, can live, or you can die. Whether or not you live depends upon what you’ll do and the decision to make during the game. Your decisions will shape your outcome. If you do happen to have your character die in Mass Effect 2, though, you’ll still be able to play him in Mass Effect 3.
