Woooooo! Congrats!
Where's my promised request? 
To give some more info on Mass Effect (my fav game this gen!) what Rainbird says is very true. The story, characters and depth of the world is what made me fall in love with it. Aside from that the menus are clunky and tedious, the technical issues with the game are incredibly hard to overlook and the combat is an acquired taste. Most will find it tedious and... well.. "rubbish" and the performance issues don't help. But once you get a character over lvl 50 and have played around and tweaked your armors, weapons and allies to just the right combination, combat becomes brilliantly satisfying as you're practically unstoppable.
If you like the actual role-playing part of RPGs I'd suggest the Fable games. I've also liked Ninja Gaiden 2 more than Sigma 2 (faster, more visceral combat) and you should also try and check out the Gears of Wars, Alan Wake and other high profile exclusives listed here.
Hope you have a blast with the 360 and welcome to the kool kidz klub (not affiliated with the KKK). You know you're kool with that many k's AND a 'z'.

Yeah, Mass Effect's issues are really hard to overlook, but underneath them all is a really great game. When it first came out I tried to finish it like three or four times but kept stopping due to terrible frame rate, bugs, and controls but eventually made myself play it right before Mass Effect 2 came out and I loved it.
I would say get it for cheap, set it to easy, and just play through on easy. When I did finally finish the game I was going to play through several times but I tried to finish every quest the first time through and did for the most part (I skipped some of the fetch quests) and it made me nearly hate the game even though it was so great. Every non-story area is pretty much copy-pasted and using the Mako just plain sucks. Play through all the story missions, do the character missions, and leave it at that and you'll like the game much more.

I'm really considering starting over on easy, just to negate some of the combat. But I don't know if I'm too far in to be bothered. I've done almost two missions as a spectre, how far would you say I am into the game?
