Mass Effect 2's Subject Zero Revealed



£38.99

EA has revealed another of Shepard's forthcoming Mass Effect 2 companions.

Subject Zero is a slightly scary ultra-violent shaven-headed lady with a mysterious past, who has "been around, ran with gangs, wiped out some gangs."

She's a wee bit psychotic from the looks of it, and is completely covered in tattoos marking her "good" kills. Not only has she been a gang member but a cultist, too, apparently deciding to keep the shaven-head look following her departure. If that's not enough, she's a Biotic too - Mass Effect's equivalent of mages - which means she'll probably be smashing people into walls telekinetically. Hot.

She's the third revealed member of Shepard's new, more dangerous crew that he has to put together in the hopes of surviving the suicide mission he's going on, and we're looking to see where it goes. Potentially romantically, judging by the top-left screenshot, although we're kind of worried about what sort of "romance" would entail with someone like her. Kids these days, honestly.

We've got four screenshots of Subject Zero below. You can have a look at our hands-on with Mass Effect 2 from GamesCom right here to find out how the new and improved combat feels, and learn about how Mass Effect 2 will make you cry here.

Mass Effect 2 is due out in early 2010. To say we're looking forward to it is an understatement.
