Get ready for our longest conversation yet as we go deep into the world of Mass Effect 2 in our spoilerific episode six. We compare the second title of Bioware’s science fiction epic to the original and talk about mission and character highlights as well as improvements to combat and presentation among other things.

In news, we get giddy over the official Gears of War 3 announcement, bemoan Shinji Mikami’s stance on God Hand and discuss Nintendo’s practices in the online arena.
