9 HUGE Video Game Spoilers That Were Ruined By Marketing

8. "Fight For The Lost" Campaign Showed Archangel Is Garrus - Mass Effect 2

A great idea on paper, rolling out a sequence of character-specific trailers ahead of Mass Effect 2 should only serve to get us invested in all their individual plights, ahead of fighting the nefarious Collectors.

99% of all these were handled perfectly, ranging from Commander Shepard to newcomers Thane and Grunt, but if you were watching the two minute version of "Fight for the Lost", none-other than the actually-not-confirmed-to-return Garrus appeared for a few seconds.

Worse still, Garrus' identity in Mass Effect 2 is hidden for a reason: He's the vigilante Archangel. Yet watching the above trailer showed him without the helmet, letting you see a new set of armour.

Come the point you first see Archangel, all helmet'd up and laying down sniper fire... it was way too obvious Mr. Vakarian was hiding underneath.
