There's not enough Yorkshire in the accent to be him. I think it might be Jason Statham.
EDIT: Nevermind, Statham's voice is a good bit higher pitched. But that's a Londoner's accent, to be sure. Bean could probably pull it off, but there's definitely something familiar about it.

Yeah, your right but come on. These guys are the most technologically advanced beings in the known universe. They have hidden relays to wherever they hibernate. One jump and they can fight from relay to relay to get to Earth.
Is Earth really the biggest threat.
if I remember right the other races have much larger militarizes.
Actually the Alliance military is probably one of the more powerful in the Mass Effect universe. They went toe to toe with the Turians and the Turians were basically the military backbone of the Council before the events of ME1.

Weren't they losing though? The conflict always struck me as more of a Human/Minbari affair.
To be fair, the plot of Mass Effect has always been a bit iffy and you tend to get railroaded into whatever the writers want you to do so it's not like it's par for the course for the series. However, depending on how you played the game, i guess the humans are more or less powerful in the intergalactic relations side of things.
Finally watched the thingy. My impression watching it is that it's going to be about really convincing *all* of the various factions to come together to support Earth. Council and non-council races. Geth and Quarians. Krogan and Salarians. Rachni. Hell, thresher maws and varrens if you can get them.

Ashley's father surrendered because the Turians had blockaded an early outpost, and the Alliance couldn't get to him to relieve it in time. I always got the impression that the Alliance would have lost in a drawn out war with the Turians at that stage, but by the time of ME1/ME2, they could probably go toe-to-toe with anyone individually. The reason humans get a bad rap from the rest of the galaxy is because they're scared of the Alliance and how quickly they're picking up political and military power.
I'm just the boy who can't say No to anything with Mass Effect on it. I'll be there, and I'll probably end up getting the most expensive ME3 SKU again too.
I can't place the speaker, but it's not Sean Bean (though it sounds like him up to the word "week" where it really doesn't), Simon Pegg, Craig Fairbrass, Simon Templeman or any of the usual suspects.
I did get a Jason Statham-esque vibe from it, and the character looked like him as well. Sean Bean always sounds like he's just back from a Yorkshire coal mine, no matter what he's doing...I half expected Boromir to turn round and say 'ee by gum, there's trouble at t'mill..'.
For some reason I was expecting it by Summer 2011, foolishly optimistic. I had forgotten that ME2 came out just this year, damn it!
It's still a pretty fast turn around for a game of ME's scale.
There was a lot of rework between ME1 and 2, pretty much all the graphics were recreated up to a higher quality, and the mechanics were redone. If they're happier with how ME2 was, they 'simply' need to make the ME3 content on top of the base of ME2.

I'm worried that the development time is a little short unless they were working on this concurrently with ME2, in which case I'm also worried because it's different people working on it.
This makes me think that I should perhaps open up the copy of ME2 that I have and play it. Unfortunately, my playthrough of ME1 was on a different XBox HD, that I wiped in prep for giving it to someone.

So we get The Witcher 2 in the fist half of 2011 and Mass Effect 3 in the second. 2011 is shaping up to be a good year.
