Bioware have released a preview of the first issue of Mass Effect: Redemption. It consists of the beginning seven pages. It is viewable here: [link] There's plentiful Liara, Elcor-speak and even a drell.

For those of you who want to know absolutely nothing about Mass Effect 2 until you play the game, you might nor want to read it. But then again, it's the official continuation of the story, so it's probably like not wanting to watch The Matrix Reloaded because you want to avoid spoilers for The Matrix Revolutions. Something along those lines.

Now this series will be about Liara, so people who are annoyed (and some who hate with a psychotic rage) by her character are forewarned.

It is still unclear on whether or not Shepard will be in it. But in the unlikely event the Commander is in it, you should pretty much expect it to be the default Male Shepard.

There has also been a bit of speculation that if Shepard is in it, it will be Bioware's way of saying their default Shepard romances Liara, since Liara has already been referenced as a "close companion" of Shepard in a official information source. (Wow, I could practically hear the majority of the Shepard/Alenko fans screaming as they throw a shoe at the screen... Careful, those things cost a lot.) But remember, that's just speculation. And only viable if ol' Johnny Boy Shepard is in Redemption.

Me? Since I like Liara just fine, I'll be anticipating the full issue of Redemption coming this January!

Oh, I almost forgot; Mass Effect 2's release date as been push forward nearly two months to January 26th North American release and the 29th for release in Europe.

First and foremost, the Mako has been replaced with a completely new vehicle, Bioware is trying their best to make this new haul-horse easier to control. And the weapon heat build up system has been replaced with an ammunition system like what you see in your regular shooter. Now, ammo for most weapons is still infinite, with exception to the heavy weapons. And the shotgun has been tweaked a bit.

There will be pre-order bonuses for the different stores you preorder from. Most retail outlets will receive codes for the Inferno armor [link] (that looks like the Iron Man armor from the recent movie), which increases your Shepard's negotiation skills, run speed and combat damage. Those opting to preorder from Gamestop will receive the Terminus Assault Armor [link] which augments the run speed, combat damage and shields, as well as an additional magazine of reserve ammo along with the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon, which generates a localized gravity well, which sounds quite painful for any unfortunates caught within its blast.

Choose wisely!
