The main storyline of Mass Effect can be completed in around 20-30 hours, but doing all side missions and additional content can extend the gameplay to 40-50 hours or more.

While the Geth and Sovereign are attacking the Citadel, You will be prompted with a choice to either have the Alliance attack Sovereign or protect the Council. You need to protect the council.

Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 are both single player. There are no multiplayer modes

Should be under 'Options' or 'Settings'.

If you start a fresh game without importing a save from ME1, then Ashley is alive, and she will be alive if you import an ME1 save where you chose to save her near the end.

However if you import a save where you chose to rescue Kaidan instead, he will be present instead of Ashley.

alot. For my estimate, maybe over a 100 missions.

Using Steam, click play Mass Effect 2. A window should pop up asking whether you want to start ME2 or ME2 launcher. Select the Launcher and once it comes up click on Configuration. In configuration there will be an option to load a save from ME1. Once you select the save file you want, launch ME2 then select start new game and use imported ME1 character.

no i dont think you can get a free one you have to pay for it.

You don't. In Mass Effect 1 you might as well be when you have a good team and Colossus X armour though.

Once you lose their loyalty it cannot be regained sadly. I lost legions loyalty in my last play through. Loyalty is not required to win thankfully. Your characters can still survive the suicide mission even when they arent loyal. Its just harder to do

At the end of Mass Effect, Sovereign has attacked the citadel with its Geth allies. Shepard arrives at the citadel, and after reaching the council building, has to fight Saren for the last time. If Shepard is persuasive enough, he can break through Sovereign's indoctrination, and Saren will commit suicide. However Sovereign channels its will into the implants in Saren's corpse, reviving it for the final fight of the game. Once defeated, the feedback stuns Sovereign enough to drop its shields, enabling the fleet, and the Normandy, to destroy it.

As wreckage slams into the ground, it looks for a moment like Shepard didn't make it, however all is well. Depending on your previous actions, there are 3 events that play out with two outcomes each, making a total of 8 distinct endings.

Yes, Halo 2 includes a coop mode where 2 players can play the campaign together.

2 Disks come with the game on both PC and Xbox 360 platforms.

Mass Effect was released on November 20, 2007 exclusively for the Xbox 360. It was later ported to the PC by Demiurge Studios on May 28, 2008, with a few minor changes.

it is true but its only the krogan female who can repopulate the krogan depending on your choices

Yes It is possible but you have to have a paragon to be able to save her

Because the people drop a couple F bombs and you can "romance" your squadmates.

The best way to keep your squad alive is to do their loyalty missions and do everything to help them deal with their individual problem. Also, upgrade your ship so that the collectors doesn't cut through it like butter.

(1) Haven't played it, so I dunno.

(2) Garrus. I haven't tried many other people, but everyone else I personally think sucked.

(3) Still Garrus. It's pretty cute. /)^3^(\

I haven't tried for the women. I only play AS a woman. Kelly kept hitting on me though. o.O

Do the missions that say "recruit the (insert class type)"

in multiplayer get your character to level 20 then it will give you the option to promote that characters class after doing this in your single player you will get an email from general telling you about new troops for the cause you will also get the acheivement for it

Keep talking to her throughout the game. Eventually she will tell you her feelings for you, but you won't do anything with her. Before the final mission, she will come to your private room and you'll, you know, get it on.

In Mass Effect 1 there are possible sex scenes between Shepherd and other members of the crew. They are low-level scenes with no nudity, and the sexual interaction is mostly implied.

In Mass Effect 2 there are a larger number of potential romantic encounters (though you will only encounter 1-2 per playthrough). The visuals are not high in impact and involve implied activity with no graphic nudity (side of breast may be briefly visible).

In Mass Effect 3 the scenes are lower in impact than ME2, and feature no nudity. The level of implied interaction between characters is very limited.

I'm pretty sure it's just extras. I didn't get a second disc with mine, but when there's a second disc for videogames it usually means that the disc is extras.
