Shepard returns in latest Mass Effect 2 trailer

You just can't keep a good Spectre down, and the first human Spectre — one Commander Shepard — is no exception. In a new E3 trailer for BioWare's highly anticipated Mass Effect 2, we learn that Shepard's fate isn't as grim as we were led to believe. In fact, it looks like he — or she — will be resuming dual duties of kicking ass and taking names when the sequel releases in early 2010.
