The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion- the story was pretty mediocre for todays standards, the graphics still hold up well even though it's two years old, the combat is pretty pathetic in that you block/attack/block/attack, the scale of the world is amazing, limited lines of dialogue for the hundreds of NPCs in the game, 200+ hours of gameplay, great expansions, enjoyable missions, level scaling isn't that good, tons of weapons and armor for collecting, does glitch and has a limited draw distance, character classes are nice and affect certain traits
Mass Effect- the story is cinematic and great, the dialogue is lengthy but really enjoyable to listen to, good and evil (paragon and renegade) open up choices in dialogue and decisions that affect your game, two paths for at least two replays, several character classes open up gameplay opportunities, good customization (for males at least, females...ugh), combat is fun with a decent cover system, squad mates are unique and have their own stories, extreme depth in the world, non-story planets look and feel the same, fun leveling up system, new game +, side quests plus main story=50 hrs, multiple difficulty levels, graphics are great...especially facial animation but suffers from hiccups here and there, similar to KOTOR (:
Fable 2- good and evil affects the games character/world visually and opens/closes sidequest based on decisions, world graphics look great (not so much characters/animations), story only is 12 hrs, sidequests add more to the longetivity, ability to own the entire world of albion through money, money earned in jobs and stuff rather than quests, keeps the fable feel, melee/magic/ranged combat, one button combat system, dog with (supposively strong AI) acts as minimap and looks fun, limited HUD, good story (as goes with Peter Moloneux), if like Fable 1 it will have several great weapons that have their own side quests attached, marry and have kids, looks like fun for action with strong rpg elements
Id choose ME or Fable 2 and I own/will own all three.
