During some hands-on time with the title, we made note of some of the new changes that would make the experience a more enjoyable one.

It wasn&#39;t actually something we played, but something we saw on a loading screen.

It was fairly obvious that the person showing the demo didn&#39;t expect the message to show up, and he couldn&#39;t really say much beyond confirming that what we saw was, indeed, true. There&#39;s always a chance he was mistaken, and it was put there as a joke, but odds are it was legit. <br /><br />So what could this end up meaning? Will he need to go underwater, like the Jedi had to do on Naboo? Will there just be some occasional waist-deep sections? We don&#39;t know yet, but it&#39;s just another great addition to what is looking to be one of the best games of 2010.</p> news 1 2009-11-06T12:01:28-05:00 <p><a href="http://gamervision.com/contributed/1257525616pbNf81ivIi.jpg"><img src="http://gamervision.com/contributed/1257525616pbNf81ivIi.jpg" height="344" alt="" width="620" /></a><br /> <br /> At a recent EA event, we had a chance to sit down with <i>Mass Effect 2,</i> BioWare's upcoming follow-up to their 2007 hit.
