Then I finally started to get deeper and deeper into it, by the time I knew it, I had spent 6 hours game time wise this past Saturday.

A game hasn't captivated me like that in a loooooong time. Usually I just play games for like an hour or so and stop and do something else. This one kept me fixated on the screen for quite a while. Highly recommend it so far.
I couldn't agree more, the more you dig into the entire cultural backgrounds, the more interesting it gets. The detail put into the species is just stunning. I'm a big fan of the Elcor btw, delighted, I hope we'll see them again in Mass Effect 2.

There's still Mass Effect 2 and 3

Those games will probably require me to upgrade my PC as well, so instead of getting a new €250,- videocard, I'd probably be better off getting a console anyway. Besides, I already have the 360 VGA cable here

This port will most likely be nothing special anyway. They don't promise a graphical update, just the optional higher resolutions. It will most likely help that this is an Unreal Engine 3 game, it should speed up the porting and make it pretty much very true to the original game. The only downfall is I'm probably out of luck for the only graphical update: Anti Aliasing.
