As we all know 2 amazing games are coming out soon.....by the name of mass effect and assassins creed.....I have a terrible choice to make here......which is to buy only 1......Can someone please try to move me towards buying a certain game and its benefits......

My favourite RPG of all time is easily and bioware RPG :( ....I simply love playing those RPG's they are amazing and masterful and simply in the utter meaning of the word......AMAZING....and mass effect looks to be the next great bioware RPG.

Whats annoying is that my favourite Action adventure game of all time is the POP series :(....loved every second of them....the gameplay was for me as good as it can get...and this is made by the exact same company.....and to make matters worse its based around the crusades which I find intriguing......furthermore...by looking through the trailers I can that a lot of arabic is spoken......and since I can speak arabic...and with the whole middleastern theme I wanna see how they handle it.

There is a third choice I can do.......which is basically I can trade in a few games to accumlate to the price of any one of these 2 games....I have so far in owning my xbox for 2 month acquired;

Gears of war.....Crackdown.......Bioshock (Tin edition).......Halo 3 limited edition

Looking at it on the internet...The trade in value of any 2 of these games would accumlate to the price of an extra game....should I go with this option......I mean personally I don't see myself playing bioshock and crackdown ever again for atleast a year odd.....finished both of them atleast 4 times each......I love gears of war too much to think about it......and halo 3 limited edition doesn't bother me too much.

Get a job and get both..Heil68

I can't....currently 16 and in full time education is 6xth form......which is like the equivlent of grade 12...I actually can afford to buy both...but rather not waste so much money on gaming as both these games cost £40 each which is $80

Yep or you could buy one now and get the other later just don't sell any games because I can't stand the thought of selling games just because I will regret it, the only game I sold was Spyro Orange but I hated that game I got it for free it was bundled with Metroid Zero Mission so I sold Spyro Orange to put money down on Super Paper Mario. But don't sell your games buy the one you want most now and then the other Later like Christmas.

This is the choice jesus would make if he wasn't a PC gamer.

I hate trading in games, you always regret it no matter what you trade in. But if its your only choice trade in crackdown.

Why do people ask this board to make a decision for them

"360 or Ps3", "PC or Wii"

I see these everyday

why dont you use that useful thing called google and do some of your own research, You shouldnt have to ask a bunch of strangers to make the decision for you. I mean, Its onlyYOU that could possibly get an accurate picture of what YOU actually want. So, just dig deep inside yourself and I promise you there is an answer.

end rant

anyways you should mug a grandma crossing a street and buy both because you wont want to miss out on either of them.

I've played Mass Effect its an amazing RPG, with a really deep story and great voice acting and is probably going to have more replayability

I havn't played Assassins creed but i am hearing really good things from people that do have it, so either choice is going to give you a great gaming experience.

Since you claim both BioWare games and the PoP series are your favorites of their respective genres, it seems to me you should do the trade-in and get both. But buying decisions are something you really ought to make on your own.

Mass Effect is just all hype, honestly it will be a boring talk talk talk with little shooting here and there. I would go with Assassins Creed...constant action, whichever path you choose.

If you like going back and forth between areas with the same enemies constantly reappearing after you get rid of them just to get to that locked area of the storyline then go ahead. I am not trying to really hate on Mass Effect as it might be O.K. (8.0-8.5), but it is nothing ground breaking.

Ultimately, the decision is yours TC. If you like the best of both worlds then trade in 2 games and get both, you can never go wrong with both, unless you find them boring. Another idea would be to rent, and play a bit, if you like it buy it, simple.

My opinion. TC doesn't need to do it if he doesn't want to.

I'm going to trade in Stranglehold. Trust me I won't regret it. But I know what you mean. You never get anywhere near what you paid and that does suck. Also having to go into a Gamestop isn't my favorite thing. Especially during this time of year.

I'm getting Mass Effect and waiting to get Assassin's Creed as an X-mas present. Both will be awesome though and you should probably try to end up owning both eventually.

Because they listen to reviews too often they can't make their own decisions when games score the same.

If you listened to reviews and only went for AAAs you'd be missing out on Virtua Fighter 5, Melee, Call Of Duty 2, HL2 Episode 1 and millions of other great games that didn't appease Jeff's poor taste.

Your opinion is baised on watching videos and not on actually playing the game :roll:

just in the pro-log mission there was 10 intense fire fights, and i only talked to people if i wanted to.

i'd have to get a 360 this week just to play ME at launch (my friend has a 360 i usually play on occasionally, but he isn't about to loan me his console for several weeks on end), i really want to the play the game but there's other games i want to get right now that are pricey (don't have the budget for all of them, going to get a 360 much much later next year or just wait till my friend gets ME)... going to buy assassin's creed and uncharted this week time crisis 4 next week, plus i just ordered 3 ps2 games off of amazon last night (Xenosaga 1, Xenosaga 2, and Sly 3)... 6 new games in about 1.5 weeks time :o going to trade in armored core 4

If you'd have to choose one, I'd suggest to go with Mass Effect. Otherwise, trade in Crackdown and Bioshock.

You're going to have to trade in more than 2 games to buy either one of those. But I'd say go for Mass Effect now, Assassin's Creed later *and by later, I mean like a week later*.
