This was my first time playing Mass Effect. I remember watching the GameTrailers reviews over and over as a teen, just wishing I had a Xbox 360 to play it. This package is great to dive into and immediately made this one of my favorite series. They did a great job touching up Mass Effect 1. Even though Mass Effect 2 is my favorite of the series, there is a certain charm of the 1st game that I love.
ME3 is fine. I lowered the difficulty not because it is hard, but because I wanted to just get through it. It did get better halfway thru the game. But definitely lost the flavor it had from the previous two games.
