Publisher: Bioware/EA
Genre: RPG
Summary: A veteran mercenary joins Shepherd's crew.
Gameplay: Zaeed proves a useful squad member, using assault rifles, sniper rifles, disruptor ammo, and, after his mission, the extremely useful inferno grenade. His mission also yields a new heavy weapon, a flamethrower. It's not spectacular, but not the worst of the heavy weapons, either.
Style: The graphics don't differ from the rest of Mass Effect 2. Zaeed's loyalty mission, on a jungle planet in a flaming factory, oozes humidity and heat.
Story: Zaeed is a gruff old merc, and will have comments about places and missions about as often as the rest of the squad. You can't talk to him on the ship, although he does have some comments about various things in his cabin. His mission is nothing special, but it does have a strong choice to be made. I wish there was more follow-up on it later.
Conclusion: While not standout, Zaeed's story of revenge isn't bad, either. And gameplay-wise I've found him a very useful member of Shepherd's crew.
