Yeah, I played one through 3 within one summer. I enjoyed it a lot. But then again, everyone on /V/ is to cynical to admit to having fun playing video games.

You could just play 1 and forget about the rest. Theres no cliff hanger or anything.

Sure, ME3 was rushed as hell, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The entire ME journey is worth it imo.

You'll have a better experience watching an episode of Star Trek then playing half an hour of Gears of War.

I haven't gone back to them, but I hold ME2 has one of the best games of last gen. That game alone is worth going through the trilogy. Be warned though that the collection doesn't have any of the DLC. DLC is still behind shitty Bioware points. I'd say play the games on PC and pirate the DLC.
