Because we know you like the news “now” (and the fact that we can ninja edit this article later over some hot cocoa, caressing its sentences and paragraphs like a Renaissance maestro lovingly polishing his latest masterwork) here’s the big news from EA’s conference happening right now over at Gamescom.
Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3 in January 2011.
There you have it. You start the ball rolling with comments below, and we’ll be back later (with the cocoa) to fill in any details we missed upon first hearing the crack of the megaton.

Have a 360 mate who got this and thinks it’s overrated, but I’ll probably get it just because I can. LOL!

I don’t have much to add to the superb community response to this news but I just had to leave a comment considering it’s my favourite gaming experience of the current generation.
Although slightly concerned that there’s been no word of the first one yet with the way the two games are linked not only story-wise but features-wise too.

I’ve head nothing but good about this game so i’m delighted to hear it’s officially coming to PS3.

YES! I just recently played through this and the first one on PC. They better have Mass Effect 1 in it though. In my eyes it was much better because there were more RPG choices (more level up decisions and what not) rather than totally just shooting everything you see. I can finally rub it in all my friend’s faces you said that it was never coming to PS3 :P

Good for PS3 guys I guess, but I couldn’t see myself playing this again on a console if I ever went back to it for any reason. PC version is where the fun’s at.
Also, I didn’t really find this to be the holy grail so many make it out to be. Yes, it’s impressively put together and the story and universe are engrossing like no other RPG you’re likely to find, but the gameplay is like some half arsed third person shooter for the most part, with heavily dumbed down stat and equipment management and not nearly enough variety in the gameplay(The Hammerhead should have been in the game from day one, would have helped this immensely).
Still very impressive thundersteal for Sony for today I suppose. Even if it’s just a thundersteal from the same old Kinect banality as ever. Hollow victory?
Also, no first game is taking the piss.

I have a handful of friends that love this game on the 360 and have all put a lot of hours gameplay into it.
That being said, i have no doubt it will sell well on the PS3. Although i’m not totally over the fence on getting it myself, i’m still thrilled for playstation in general for bringing a game like ME2 over to the PS3.
Well done Sony, nice move
