What do you do in order to make what BioWare and Electronic Arts are calling “the first blockbuster of 2010” even bigger? We’re talking aboutMass Effect 2, and you toss a bunch of celebrities at it!

The list is pretty big, so let me just throw it out there: Martin Sheen (“Illusive Man”); Shohreh Aghdashloo (“Admiral Shala’Raan vas Tonbay”); Seth Green (“Joker”); Yvonne Strahovski (“Miranda Lawson”); Adam Baldwin (“Kal ‘Reegar”); Keith David (“Admiral David Anderson”); Michael Dorn (“Gatatog Uvenk”); Tricia Helfer (“EDI”); Michael Hogan (“Captain Bailey”); and Carrie-Anne Moss (“Aria T’Loak”).

Some of the names are familiar to theMass Effectuniverse, while some are fresh. Sheen voices the “Illusive Man,” commander of a secret paramilitary operation called Cerberus. Strahovski (pictured above, because I know our demographic) voices a Cerebus operative, “genetically engineered for superior mental and physical traits.”

“The first blockbuster of 2010,”Mass Effect 2, ships on January 26 for PC and Xbox 360.
