Spoiler: Mass Effect 2 Achievements, Just to Spoil Wills

So here’s what I’m doing: Going to the top of the list of Mass Effect 2 achievements, holding the left mouse button, squinting my eyes as I scroll to the bottom of the list, copying and pasting into WordPress. With any luck, anything I see won’t reveal too much of the plot, thus spoiling the Xbox 360 exclusive before its January 26 release date. We already know the game entails recruiting characters from around the galaxy in order to fight an epic space battle, so the first handful of Mass Effect 2 achievements shouldn’t blow your mind. But Lord knows what’s floating around in the middle of that list, which appears in full after the jump. Good luck, and God speed.
