Is it January 26th yet?  Could have fooled me.

Mass Effect 2 is closing in and the brains at Bioware have somehow managed to keep their horde of fans sated with a near constant stream of new intel and footage from one of 2010’s most anticipated games. We’ve heard from most of Commander Shepard’s new Suicide Squad already, but now it’s time for a few words from the hero himself.

Check the video above to get a sense of what Shepard plans to do in order to save the galaxy from inevitable doom. Be warned; may cause insatiable cravings for copious helpings of Mass Effect goodness.

Here is a bonus video of an upcoming special that is set to air 1 week before Mass Effect 2 releases.
