EA did something great for once!

Having saved the Galaxy from Saren and the Geth, Commander Shepard is sent to the furthest reaches of the galaxy to investigate a geth sighting when all hell breaks loose. An alien vessel destroys the Normandy Including Commander Shepard as He/She heroically saves Joker who refused to abandon ship. Shepards body is recovered by Cerberus and the Lazarus Project (aptly named) begins to make Shepard Faster, better, stronger etc only be to tasked with saving the universe again (in lay man's terms, Cerberus brought back commander Shepard, it's only fitting to do a few "favors")
