C:\Users\[user]\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save\[player_profile]\

The [player_profile] should be in the format Name_##_Class_200212, where Name is the name of your character (e.g., John), ## is the character level (e.g., 30), and Class is the character class (e.g., Vanguard, Infiltrator, etc.). The 200212 code represents the date and must be a valid date string. Now, when you open ME3, choose the Import ME2 Character option and import your player profile.

NOTE: Mass Effect 3 uses .SAV files for saved games.
