I could have finished ME1 a while ago but I play maybe 1-2x a week. But I am a completionist at heart and tries to do every quest and accomplish all achievements The importing of your character into ME2 is a nice touch (BioWare is doing that with Dragon Age 2), I would buy ME2 for the PC. But I think I will buy it for my PS3 just because I have never played a scifi game on my PS3 and I want too. What better game to do it with than ME2 GOTY edition that comes out in Jan. Plus it will look sweet on the big screen. I was watching the visuals of that latest DLC and wow what great visuals compared to ME1.

I just completed ME1 this weekend actually and I had a great time playing, I thought about playing through it again to unlock more achievements but decided against it. Yeah not a space sim at all but it is a great scifi based RPG that I think everyone should try. i thought the boss fight at the end was a bit too easy or my weapons and stats were to good But overall BioWare did a great job with ME1 and I cannot wait to play ME2 when it comes out for the PS3. I really enjoyed exploring the planets (the info boxes on each planet was a great touch) and the crew interaction I liked the most in the game. If ME1 had a space combat piece it would be perfect :)ME1 was well worth my $5 I bought it for on sale.

HA! So you finally got around to Mass Effect? I remember a year ago giving you a very hard time about the fact that you hadn't tried it yet! Now you see why, yes? And you're right, Mass Effect 2 will be fantastic on the ps3. Makes me wish I could erase my memory so that I could play through the game again. Hey D1, you do know that they have the free Mass Effect 2 demo up at the playstation store, right? You should download it and give it a spin. You could see all the improvements they've made. It's quite a lengthy demo too.

I will just surprise myself and just buy the game when it comes out in I think Jan/Feb, I like the fact that it is coming with all the DLC and they say they have touched it up just for the PS3 release. So I am sure its going to shine, I think I will make myself a trophy whore for this game like I did for RDR.

You ain't gonna be disappointed mate. ME1 and ME2 are probably among the top 10 games all-time...certainly on my list anyway, and also by cumulative review standards. They really did improve upon ME1 in almost every way for ME2 as well. The story flowed much better in ME1, the whole discovery of the reapers and then Shephard's interaction with that one ("You exist because we allow it, and you will perish because we demand it" ) was just epic. Also, I liked the modular guns/upgrade system better in ME1. There were WAY more guns than in ME2. Other than those 2 areas, ME2 is superior in every way. Still can't believe there are sci-fi geeks/gamers like us out there who still haven't picked up this game yet.
