I've noticed a few possible Easter Eggs in ME2 of which I haven't heard mention yet.  I'm only mentioning this because, unlike the more obvious easter eggs, these ones easily slip under the radar...even to the extent that I'm not sure they are deliberate.

1.  On the Strontium Mule, Shepard completes the mission by recovering the payload of a container for Cerberus.  I'm not sure, but I think a faint glow can be seen coming from inside the conatainer as Shep extracts the contents, whose exact nature remains unrevealed.

The most salient association here is with the glowing briefcase in Pulp Fiction, though film-literate players will also be aware that that scene was itself a refernce to ealier scenes in films like "Kiss me Deadly" and "Repo Man."  An interesting Wiki entry on this topic can be found here: http://en.wikipedia....vealed_contents

2.  If you take Grunt with you to Haestrom, he makes a comment about having to fight "in the shade," a possible reference to a well-known lin in the film "300."  Coincidentally, Grunt's customary vaunt, "I...AM...KROGAN" bears a strong similarity to another famous line from that film.

3.  In the husk-infested mine Shep explores as a side quest, a datapad conatining the message "If you are reading this, GET THE HELL OUT!" can be found at the entrance.  This statement is very similar to grafitti found in various places in the Valve's Left 4 Dead.

Lastly, it's not exactly subtle, but upon sending the party off to Grunt's rite on Tuchanka, the Urdnot Shaman says "excellent!" in a very Monty Bruns-like manner.  Sure this has been noted by many.

Looking forward to seeing some more of these references listed. I don't remember any specific ones myself.
