I play on 360 and only picked up Origins a couple of months ago but came to love it very quickly. It easily had the best voice acted characterisation of any game I've played.

The next two episodes are probably the best of the series. I think "Gone" is the episode that most folk consider the quintessential Spaced. "Help" is one of the best action movie homages that sets up perfectly for "Gone".
