Electronic Arts issued a press release on Friday that starts with, “40 perfect scores. 2 million units. One pop culture phenomenon. BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today that Mass Effect™ 2 has sold-in over two million units worldwide in its first week of release.”

Believe the hype, Mass Effect 2 is a stunning experience more typically associated with a major motion picture than a video game. I’ve been playing Mass Effect 2 quite a bit over the last week and have put in 15 hours so far. As everyone should, I’m definitely taking my time with this title. I’m visiting every system, scanning every planet, talking to every NPC, and exploring every open-world environment available.

I’m not ready to review the title just yet, but it’s safe to say it’s the best game I’ve played in a very long time. I’m actually looking forward to a second play-through with a different background, class, and a purposeful selection of dialogue choices. Stay tuned as my review will be available in the coming weeks.
