Anybody wanna play Mass Effect?

[ZenfoldorVGI]

Well, truth be told, I didn't really enjoy ME1 as much as I thought I would the first time around. The learning curve was steep and technical issues kinda threw me off the game a bit, but I did finish it, and would have given the game a solid 8, were I prompted to rate it.

However, upon recently spying some late game ME2 play at a friends house, I was immediately reinvigorated with the franchise. I read IGNs review which said that the game really kicks it up a notch when you have a file to import from ME1, which I didn't because I have changed HDs time and time again. I did beat the game(check my achievements, and friend me! I don't update it often because of my interwebz issues(like my PSN ID, both are "Zenfoldor" btw, and I use them basically to download games :) However, I barely remember the story, and I sold my old copy.

Low and behold, Amazon has the game on sale for 19.99, zomgbbq, amazon prime 2 day delivery folks!

So, the bread is of course, spent. The game is on the way.

I guess my question is....since ME2 is very, very, very good, and apparently the game is a continuation of the story that you made from the first game, is anyone else going to go back and play, or replay ME1 first, before starting ME2, and if so, want to kinda, I guess, keep a log of it here and regale us wiith tales of it over time?

I work fo a livin' so I guess I'll be going through it slowly. I'm gonna put my evergrowing anime collection viewing on hold for the time being and concentrate on the greatness that is Bioware, and their "Mass Effect" lol, and it all starts with ME1!!!

So, who's with me!! Get out your Eko-boks-kun or Rig-sama and let's play!!!
