Mass Effect 2 is coming out January 10th. Here's why you should get it:
1. You actually give a shit about the characters, especially when they die (and they will). Realistic facial modeling and professional voice acting really help with this.
2. Possible sex scenes with hot alien babes - and Subject Zero for all you fans of Suicide Girls.
3. The mechanics, graphics and tone for the second iteration are improved upon, but not overhauled. Breaking free from RPG tradition, the combat is fun and realistic, and chock full of physics.
4. Apparently, physical actions can be used during dialog. Also, I really enjoyed how the charm skill played out in the game. I convinced Saren to shoot himself in the face, lol.
5. Choices you made during the last game will carry over.
6. It's not Dragon Age.
