LOL, it went from crappy port graphics to slightly less crappy port graphics. Which is sadly a huge leap.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Crappy port graphics?

BioShock 2 doesn't look that different to me, but Mass Effect 2's lighting looks better than the first. Screenshots never do any game justice though, if the differences are as pronounced as this and other articles lead us to believe, it'll be apparent when we actually have the games, seeing them in motion.

Overall, both sequels look polished, but nothing groundbreaking.
Still looks great though.

Yeah I don't really see a difference. Technically there shouldn't be much difference anyway since they are using the Unreal 3 Engine again, so maybe a slightly higher poly count and a few tweaked bloom settings is all you would expect.

My only real gripe with Mass Effect's graphics is the horrid texture popping.
