As any regular reader knows, I love games that make you feel something. When your in-game actions have story-changing consequences, you feel an empathy with the game that’s bigger than a movie can ever impart.

And the folks at Bioware know exactly how to tap into that. These guys get emotional games. Even if you’re not a gamer, check out this 4-minute interview and preview of Mass Effect 2 — it looks like they’ve really got an incredible thing going. I haven’t felt this excited for a game sequel since Day of the Tentacle.

You know… I just might have to play through Mass Effect original again before the sequel comes out… I just finished Bioshock again.

I’m seriously looking forward to this one. I got way into the universe while playing it and even before. I forced myself to read the prequel book BEFORE I played the game and it was awesome. I look forward to seeing where Mass Effect 2 takes the story.
