Got this note from EA’s PR peoples and figured some of you would be interested. I know I am, but I’m also torn. I’ve been avoiding any and all info about Mass Effect 2 to go into the game pure and unsullied as possible. I have seen a few of the teaser videos for the game, so maybe I’m already corrupted. Either way, check it out:
Tonight the SyFy Network will debut the special TV documentary, Sci vs. Fi: Mass Effect 2 , featuring celebs, creators, and experts discussing 2010’s first blockbuster videogame, Mass Effect 2 and its place in the sci-fi pantheon. Tune in to the Sy Fy Network for the premiere airing on Tuesday January 19th at 11 PM EST/PST and 10 PM CET. The show takes an in-depth look at both the science and fiction of Mass Effect 2, and features interviews with in-game voice talent Tricia Helfer and Yvonne Strahovski, Sci-Fi fan favorite Wil Wheaton and journalists Jessica Chobot and Adam Sessler among others.
Jessica Chobot is a journalist now?
Their words, not mine 🙂
The hype train for this game is running at full steam. The last two nights, the Discovery Channel has show commercials for it on almost every break. Discovery Channel?
Is it bad, I’ve never completed the first?
I don’t think it’s bad that you didn’t complete the first. It’s definitely not the perfect game but it’s worth seeing to the end.
Hype machine indeed. I just got to call in to Kotaku Talk Radio and ask a question to Greg Zeschuk. Kinda cool.
And I’m going to have to see if I can download it, as the Space channel (no SyFy on Edmonton cable) isn’t showing it.
EA has been pretty aggressive on the hype machine, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this special show up somewhere online. Maybe YouTube?
What question did you ask on KTR?
It looks like part of the show (2 out of 4 parts) is viewable on the Mass Effect website (http://masseffect.bioware.com/media/videos/)
