I would say that Mass Effect is really one of those series where you have to start from the very beginning (but 1 and 2 should be super cheap and I'm sure there's a pack you can buy). The gameplay in ME1 might seem a little outdated by now but the story-telling, the extremely detailed and well-explained back-drop will swallow you up into an amazing adventure.

The choices you make in ME1 carry over to ME2 and then ME3, but if you start at ME3, I think the game can just give you a default story.

Looks like the Mass Effect trilogy is available for $60. I might go rent the 1st one to see if I like the gameplay before I buy the series.

I don't know if you're into reading at all, but if you do play ME1 (which is way more about setting up the universe and telling a story than it is about providing crisp gameplay), I would highly recommend reading the codex entries that pop-up throughout the game. It's incredible how well BioWare thought everything out.

Looks like I'll be holding off on buying any Mass Effect games. I got Batman: Arkham City for Christmas.....so I'll be playing that game until I beat it.

I have been addicted to Far Cry 3 on the 360. I have been just running around the island picking up loot chests and relics and have only done like 4 or 5 main story quests. I almost have enough cash to pick up the badass sniper rifle in the game so that should be fun.

After that, back to Borderlands 2 on the 360. I am probably about 30% through it thus far but I am ocd about doing every single side quest for the most part so I am making it slowly through.

Aside from that, probably Torchlight II. The game is perfect to just pick up and play for a bit if I have a few minutes to spare. It's just a plain old fun dungeon crawler lootfest.

Batman AC is one of the best games ever made. Enjoy.

I'm saying I have never liked batman, a friend bought the latest version for me saying how great it is. I did not like it mainly because I've never been a fan of Batman. I've tried to play it several times and it doesn't appeal to me whatsoever.
