While we should never neglect the narrative and RPG components of
Mass Effect 2, we can, at times like this, indulge in the visual splendor. Developer BioWare just released four new images of the game in celebration -- or perhaps for new preview opportunities -- at PAX 2009. Either way, this stuff looks beautiful.
A few of the images show super assassin Thane -- one of the new characters that Shepard has to recruit into his squad. Another
shows Grunt -- a volatile (imagine that!) Krogan -- and the other depicts a grenade launcher explosion and enemy ragdoll action.
And, yeah, it looks just as great in motion, too. This game needs to come out. Now.

The interesting part comes at the end of the list of included bonuses; "Exclusive in-game item for use in the upcoming title Mass Effect 2."
hmmmm?
Yeah. It's an exlusive piece of armor. They announced it a few weeks ago.
you mean months.
The game looks fantastic, I will miss the original cast though.
I guess I was trying to point out that it's out they'd include that in the ps3 version of dragon age.
prolly some sort of error though...
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that Krogan in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that Krogan's for sale
I must take a trip to C-sec
And leave my poor Joker alone
If he has a Krogan, he won't be lonesome
And the Krogan will have a good home
How much is that Krogan in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that Krogan in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that Krogan's for sale
I read in the paper there are robbers (roof! roof!)
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a Krogan to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a Salarian or an Asari
I don't want a Hanar that talks
I don't want a team of little Volus
And he can't take a Elcor for a walk
How much is that Krogan in the window? (arf! arf!)

Turns out the Krogan’s name is Urdnot Wrex
He is a master mercenary
A battle master at that
My favorite buddy in battle
Sadistic and with dry wit
He is done with his people
He tried to get them to think
Breed for one generation
Then we can get off the brink
Just stop killing each other and fight the genophage
This was all going well
Then Jarrod said what the hell
He asked for a crush to cut the crap
That Wrex knew was a trap
But he still couldn’t dis his dad
The talked for a while
But the Jarrod got vile
He the ambushed Wrex’s warriors
Breaking ancient Krogan unwritten waivers
Till he lost his life
To a Wrex’s knife
Once showing courage strength and honor
But now a vicious cycles fodder
The krogans’ had lost sight
So Wrex sadly ended his plight
Then for the next centuries a three
Many adventures were had by thee
From raiding for Saren
To missing Aleena by the tooth of a varren
From the Quarian flotilla
To a diplomats pimped out villa
He knows the galaxy well
He likes his biotics
And finds women fighting the erotics
Thinks the rachni should die
And that the alliance is gay
Crappy old family armor puts a sparkle in his eye
He is hard to surprise
Likes to honestly earn his prize
He doesn’t speak much
But has a nice touch
We always listen
As his truthfulness glistens
He likes to eat raw fish
And the crest on his head is reddish
He is my kind guy
With him the time flies
I want but him a beer
Specially after what almost happened on Virmire
He doesn’t like to say it but he cares
He is my Krogan teddy bear
