1. Leviathan
2. Lair of the Shadow Broker
3. Overlord
4. From Ashes
5. Kasumi - Stolen Memories

I have not played Omega.

I like Leviathan because it has a nice atmosphere and changes my interpretation of some of the game's story elements. Lair of the Shadow Broker and Overlord are both very good, but I rated LOTSB higher because it gives the player minerals.

1. Overlord
2. Leviathan
3. Kasumi - Stolen Memory
4. Extended Cut
5. Omega
6. Lair of the Shadow Broker
7. Firewalker Pack (Hammerhead)
8. Zaeed - The Price of Revenge
9. Arrival
10. From Ashes
11. Bring Down The Sky
12. Pinnacle Station

Overlord tops my list, even not having significant influence on the story, as oposed to Arrival, or Lair of the Shadow Broker. My reason for this is that it has a very good combination of exploration (including the Hammerhead), combat and interesting plot, with some suspense elements as well. Leviathan reveals some great elements behind the main plot, Kasumi and Omega have both interesting characters, and Kasumi ends up being the funniest squadmate IMO.  I don't like BDTS and Pinnacle Station because they felt recycled (for me), the only interesting adition being the Batarians in BDTS.

1. Leviathan. Loved the investigation bits and the creepy facility, also good story and new squad dialogue
2. Shadowbroker. Mostly for the car chase and the various dossiers, and the SB fight.
3. Overlord. Fantastic atmosphere and good story. Also good characters in the Archers.
4. Omega. Really good combat and powers, the whole mines level was excellent, and the opportunity to shape Aria's character a bit. Also Nyreen.
5. Bring Down the Sky - Difficult choice, hard fights.

I did like all the others too, just not as much. Apart from Pinnacle station and Arrival - I really didn't get in to either of those.

1. Lair of the Shadow Broker, Mass Effect 2.
Great pacing, great music, some great set pieces. Also, the ability to respec your squadmates (finally!) plus a bunch of upgrades.

2. Overlord, Mass Effect 2.
Fantastic music, great atmosphere. Prometheus station--the crashed Geth ship--is my favorite sequence in the entire DLC and possibly the entire trilogy.

3. Bring Down the Sky, Mass Effect 1.
Some good fights, and a great difficult choice to make at the end. Also, Batarians.

Trying to decide between the rest of the DLC is difficult as they all have good and bad points that make them even out. Probably:

4. Stolen Memory (Kasumi DLC), Mass Effect 2.
New squadmate, but she (Kasumi) is the only squadmate available for this mission. Mostly a straightforward fight down narrow hallways. The last fight is fun, but it can be buggy at times. New upgrade (Tech Damage) and new weapon in the Locust SMG which benefits most characters.

5. From Ashes DLC, Mass Effect 3.
New squadmate (Javik) with a lot of interesting content and dialogue, new weapon, some good fights. New upgrades for Intel terminal.



As for the other DLC, I will not rank them, but I will explain what I think of them:

- Omega DLC, Mass Effect 3. I had a lot of fun with this DLC, but I have only played it once so I cannot form a good opinion on it yet. The last fight was the toughest because I specced my Soldier "wrong" (I picked the "wrong" evolutions of Adrenaline Rush, specced into Grenades). The rest was incredibly easy because it is Mass Effect 2 combat. I loved the varied locations. Aria was a decent squadmate, but ultimately worse in combat than everyone else on my squad except James. I disliked how Nyreen kept joining and leaving the squad.

- Leviathan DLC, Mass Effect 3.
Also a lot of fun. I would rank possibly rank this higher but I have only played it 2 or 3 times. Great set pieces, but ME3 combat is an ultimate letdown. Lots of new mods and some new weapons (Raider, Argus) that I have not used, and a new power (Dominate) which I have used but think is unnecessary. Some good non-combat/investigative sections that seem to drag out too long sometimes. Scanning for the new war assets can take a long time.

- Arrival, Mass Effect 2.
Fun, but fighting by yourself can be a pain at times. The Battle for Object Rho can be difficult but fun, but also incredibly buggy a times (especially as an Infiltrator). Dr. Kenson is the worst squadmate in the entire series, good thing it is only temporary. Some new upgrades but nothing that makes a big difference.

- Price of Revenge (Zaeed DLC), Mass Effect 2
Some decent fights and an interesting choice that also leads to different upgrades.

- Pinnacle Station, Mass Effect 1
Can be fun at times, but ultimately boring. At least one scenario can be extremely difficult to pass on Insanity.


As for the weapons packs in ME1 and ME2, overpowered weapons are overpowered.

1. Overlord.

Geth were always fun to fight with. Great aesthetics. Amazing soundtrack. Quite tense story with few scary moments and very emotional ending. Boss fight was unique and fun.


2. Leviathan.

Interesting story with very good twists. Very rich with lore. It is the most challenging SP segment in ME3. Amazing aesthetics. Amazing soundtrack. Investigating segment was nice.


3. Stolen Memories.

Whole James Bond style sequence is just great. Loved how you have two different gameplay approaches to choose in one section. Story is very interesting with nice twist and emotional ending. It gives perma-squadmate Kasumi and she's great. Adds Locust SMG, which is one of the best guns in ME2( which is horrible in ME3, for some reason). Soundtrack is good and as well aesthetics.


4. From Ashes.

Javik. That is all.


5. Lair of the Shadow Broker.

Nice story. Great aesthetics and soundtrack. I didn't mind Liara's presence. Shadow Broker ship is awesome! Especially with files on our squadmates.



Dishonorable mention.

Omega.

Stale premise that remains stale. Favoritism of Aria. Oleg seems like two different people in certain places, in one time he's stereotypical comic book space **** but in other a good guy on wrong side of the war. Pointless and laughable Nyreen's death. Boring aesthetics. Forgettable soundtrack. I almost fell asleep how easy this DLC is. Adds nothing to trilogy nor lore. wasted opportunities on who can take over Omega and more story on Collectors and Cerberus base behind Omega 4 Relay.

1) LoTSB - No explanation necessary.
2) From Ashes - The mission sucked, but Javik is a great squadmember and is integrated fully into the game, unlike Zaeed and Kasumi in Mass Effect 2.
3) Bring Down the Sky - For $5, you got a 2-3 hour mission that was pretty standard Mass Effect fare (ride around in the Mako and explore/shoot stuff, more fights against old enemies with new looks) but it had a good story and decent rewards.
4) Kasumi: Stolen Memory - Kasumi was strong and her loyalty mission was fun (and gave you the Locust SMG, which was really useful). Too bad Kasumi wasn't integrated into the game well.
5) Leviathan - Was OK for $10, with a decent story, a bonus power, and some weapon attachments. Did a good job of involving your squadmates, unlike previous DLC (thanks to the whole Extended Cut craziness).
I haven't played Omega, so that isn't included. And I'd still say that overall, DLC for the trilogy has been a bit disappointing.

LoTSB-Obviously this is the one that had it all. The most exceptional piece of DLC I've ever experienced.

Stolen Memories-Moreso than the Price of Revenge and From Ashes, The mission and character were great but we also got the Locust and formal casual wear

Bring Down The Sky-My first DLC, so good that it feels like an integral part of ME1

Leviathan-Retroactively fixing some problems with ME3, plus dat ending convo

Extended Cut-saved Mass Effect as a franchise for me, fixed my only two real complaints about the ending and then some.

I still didn't finish Omega, but up to the part where you first meet that Elcor merchant it was pretty awesome imho.

1. Leviathan - lore, all characters have recorded lines, story is pretty good.
2. LotSB, on par with Leviathan, but it slightly looses.
3. BDTS - introduction of Batarians, good choice and armor for Tali :-)
4. Overlord - awesome... well, everything. I think it can be the top DLC overall in terms of gameplay, but it lacks on the story and it's consequences and the whole rig the 'victim' is strapped to is unbelievable in ME universe.
5. Zaeed - better quotes and character than Kasumi.

Dishonorable mention:

From Ashes. Javik should be the front character for the whole game, his crucial role in the game is obvious. I would get the CE anyway, so I got him from the day one, but the fact it shoudn't be a DLC character is clear.

The Javik mission looses with both Zaeed and Kasumi loyality missions. But as character he wins (obviously the best ME3 char)... maybe because he was a part of the vanilla game blatantly cut out of it just for extra $?

Would mention Extended Cut , but since it's a free DLC , I won't . My list is all about the bang for the buck .
