New Book coming out by Drew - Retribution
Retribution is set in the universe fans know well from the video game and novel series—one in which humanity has explored the very farthest reaches of the universe, only to discover the ruthless Reapers, a race bent on extinguishing all organic life. One man is bent on discovering the Reapers' secrets, the mysterious Illusive Man, the leader of a pro-human, black ops group, Cerberus. And he's devised the perfect plan: implant a human subject with Reaper technology in order to study the enemy.


He also has the perfect test subject—Paul Grayson, an ex-Cerberus operative. Grayson betrayed Cerberus in order to save his daughter. So when Grayson is kidnapped and made the subject of Cerberus' evil experiments, the Illusive Man will finally have his revenge...

So they finally added headgear.
I remember the early ME1 images when it was first announced the characters had like cool looking gadgets on the head for combat...etc. but they never appeared in the game, good to know its in ME2 now so we get that option, including neat helmets.

But I am concerned of why they havent showned face customization yet? I want to know if they have added any new features or added like new hairstyle or beard and not just a stubble or is it going to be the same stuff from ME1.

And no I am not asking for hobo looking add ons :P

Ah well, I guess I will soon find out when the game is out :)

Original: Norwegian newspaper DagBladet has reported that DLC for Mass Effect 2 will be released day one or very soon after.

According to the article (via Joystiq), the DLC includes armor, weapons, an unlockable planet and a bounty hunter ally by the name of Zaeed Messani – which you see pictured above.

Mass Effect 2 got a perfect 10 in some magazine and they called it some of Bioware's best storytelling and characters or something like that.

Probably because that system hasn't changed. The face customization is very deep in Mass Effect, nothing really needs to be added to it.

Sorry, felt too lazy at the time, hold on.

GamesTM is the magazine name.
+ One of the most memorable opening sequences ever.

+ Improved combat. It not only rivals dedicated 'cover-shooters', it actually betters them (aside from Gears 2 and Uncharted).

+ Brilliant dialogue interrupt system.

+ More refined inventory/equipment management. Improvements to weapons, armour etc (which carry across all party members) are carried out on the Normandy via 'research documents' that you buy or find. Quality of the research is dependant on the 'elements' that you find when scanning planets.

+ Less planets to explore, but much more varied and diverse. Some kick off quests that send you off to other planets/locations.

+ Near 'miraculous' art direction. All the worlds create a cohesive looking universe, but are never derivative or repetitive.

+ Sharper cinematics. Snappier editing, restless camera movement.

+ Memorable, well written and deep characters (a career best for Bioware).

- Repercussions of choices made in the first game aren't as keenly felt as they'd have liked

10/10
It's said in the thread that the last game they gave a 10 to was Demon Souls, I think.

Nothing wrong about adding a few new hairstyles for the males and some new beards other than a stubble that is barely visable and is pretty ugly made to be honest. Is it too much to ask to have a similair beard like Gordon Freeman for example to be in it ( http://ui24.gamespot.com/2359/freeman04_2.jpg )? I am not asking for lumberjack thickness here, but some variety for us who wants such things is nice to have.

I remember people on the ME forum at Bioware community was kept asking for more variety, even asked why we couldnt have a similair beard like Joker...etc. I hope they added atleast that, but the rest was very good, no complaints :)

Well what I'm hoping for is a REAL plot that branches out for all of these so called choices and decisions that are made. Too often these so called choice and decision mechanisms don't really effect gameplay or story at all.

Like if you go Renegade you takeover Cerberus or become the Illusive Man's right hand or something. You know, you wouldn't go back to the Alliance.
