I received Mass effect 1 & 2 through the post this morning and have just played about an hour on number 1, to find that it is a really good game. I have only played through the Eden Prime mission, but I really enjoyed it and do find the game play really enjoyable. I kept the appearance of Sheppard and just change his first name to my own instead of creating a new character. I got the classic version of Mass Effect 1 which includes the second disc with all the other stuff on so I have a DLC to play through as well on that one, but don't really want to rush through the game at all and want to try and complete as many quests as I can before moving on to Mass Effect 2. Hopefully by the time I have completed both of these then Mass Effect 3 will be out. That would be quite good indeed.
