Someone over at BioWare must have really dug the Terminator: Salvation trailer that used Nine Inch Nails’ “The Day the World Went Away,” because the new Mass Effect 2 trailer from E3 is torn from the very same page. It proves that ambient rock music and science fiction footage make a great combination, and caused my nerd heart swoon.
Granted, I’m a huge fan of the first Mass Effect, even with all its imperfections. I couldn’t stand how plain jane the characters were, and piloting the Mako is seriously one of the worst video game experiences I’ve ever had. But despite these flaws, Mass Effect remains one of my favorite Role Playing Games, and I’ve been jonesin’ for more adventures with Commander Shepard.
If BioWare takes care of the aforementioned issues, then Mass Effect 2 will be brain-meltingly awesome. No doubt. In the meanwhile, I’ll just go ahead and watch this trailer again and again. And again.
what was the music they used it sounds very nin but i cannot place it?
