Mass Effect 2 begins with a bang. The bang of the Normandy that is. The ship that Shepard spent his entire spacefaring life on is attacked by a strange ship and ripped to shreds. Shepard manages to get everyone off the ship safely, except himself. The last escape pod blasts off and the Normandy explodes, propelling Shepard into the darkness of space. The hero of Mass Effect just got spaced.
What a way to start a game.
