Why do people hate Aria so much? I thought she was a well-voiced example of what a mafia boss should be like in the ME galaxy, namely a ruthless member of one of the long-lived races, complete with former rivalry with one of the other long-lived races. Adding to that that she came across as an intelligent, if somewhat overly dramatic character; plus, she's helpful to Shepard, basically giving you everything you need every time you go ask for her help.
As to her lines: I personally found the "Boss, CEO, Queen..." line the worst, and the "Don't fuck with Aria" line perfectly positioned (and voiced in a way that reminded me of Spartans), and it's not like the game is without swearing otherwise (Jack, Joker, and Renegade Shepard come to mind).

I've found not sleeping to be a solution for the 'hours in a day problem'. Also, if you have the 'long service' (or something) achievement and import a Rich character from ME1, there's enough money to buy everything (not that you need to, really, just buy the upgrades that affect Shepard and your regular companions).
Also, Vikacis, while the absence of a gay male option bothered me (more for the fact of its absence than anything else), you can (and I have) perfectly play a lesbian FemShep, by romancing Liara in ME1, ignoring the males in ME2 and going for Kelly Chambers.
Anyway, likes:

Anyway, likes:
- The distinctness of the new classes. Playing an infiltrator now really makes for a completely different game experience from playing a vanguard, which is different again from playing a sentinel. Awesome!
- No more driving the MAKO up mountains, and palette swap planets. Yay!
- Tons and tons of continuity nods.
- The new NPC's. Some of them are surprisingly deep (Grunt, Jack, Mordin)
- The interrupt system
- The new Garrus, while overruling what you pushed him to do in the first game (if you're Paragon) is also a lot deeper.
- Wrex's welcoming moment made me all warm inside.
- Minor, but there: most cutscenes are skippable, which makes replays have much less 'coffee-time' (for the beginning, you can alt-tab out and the movies keep running)
- Tali
- The planet scanning (Duh)
- Unable to customize the unique armors
- Probably more stuff, but nothing I can think of right now.
In Topic: ME2: Voice Cast Announced

Adam Baldwin made me go squee, which made my gf look at me strangely; the fact he seems to voice a particularly ruth-mouthed Quarian just adds to the awesome.
But yes, ME2 looks to have an incredible cast. Martin Sheen, Yvonne Strahovski (big Chuck fan here
), Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan,... they really hired some top sci-fic actors (although, I too, will have an image of Col. Tigh in my head at first when I hear Hogan's voice). I can't wait to play this game - I've got the collector's edition pre-ordered
