Mass Effect 2 was the best one though imo

... it was a great game and I attribute that to almost the entire game was done before the EA buy out.

But stuff like an extra emphasis on Gears of War inspired shooting/combat and lack of unique and numerous types of equipment (armor & weapons) to pickup. Also that god awful final boss that most people forget about (rightfully so lol). All that stuff might not be EA's faults but I've always held EA responsible lol.

In my opinion the original Mass Effect will always my favorite. It was something of a rough game in terms of shooting mechanics but it was such an awesome action RPG in terms of storytelling and loot.

One thing that niggled me was the fact that weapons didn't need reloading in the first ME. Fully explained why and then in two suddenly you had to have "ammo" like any other shooter.

It would have been much more palatable if you could still fire when out of ammo just with reduced damage and an aggressive overheating mechanic.
