Hell yes, ME1 is their best game, more people need to recognize. I picked up Jade Empire a couple years ago, remembering the INSANELY high scores it got and by about 20 minutes in I was just like,,,,, what am i playing

JE had a really cool ambientation and setting going for it. What a waste...

Oddly enough ME1 is probably the most weirdly paced one -you're not allowed to use your own ship up until 1/3 through even though that was one of the biggest selling points of the game- but it still rocks.
