Is there any good game that...

...could keep me busy until GTA IV comes out? but not a rpg and preferably something

that has come out in the last few months, Thanks.

Like, something cheap?

Cuz only thing ive been playing thats recent is undertow and cod4.

If you like action/adventure wait for dmc4. If you want another shooter get turok.

Thanks guys, I was thinking of getting cod 4 but I keep hearing that it's a short campain

and I don't have XBL

Assassins Creed

Mass Effect (I know its RPG but this game is amazing)

Call of Duty 4

Burnout Paradise

All I can think of right now.

Saints Row if you havent played it then. GTA rip off but hey, youre waiting for GTA4 so why not play a good clone to prepare? lol.

Is Mass Effect any thing like Oblivion?

Dude, even the gameplay and missions are pretty much the same as GTA. If you dont think thats a rip off, then I dont know what is. You can think its not a rip off, but I think it is. To each his own.sarmini

Mass Effect and Oblivion are two completely different games, despite them being both "open-ended RPGs"

Oblivion follows the traditional North-American system of RPGs, and is reminiscent of a lot of MMOs.

Mass Effect strictly follows the "BioWare"-style RPG formula, and feels strickly KOTOR-like, which include RPG elements like all of your party members leveling up at the same time despite how much or little they did, and etc.

And speaking of parties, none of that exists in Oblivion.

Oblivion offers over 100 hours of initial gameplay, but there isn't much replay value after that.

Mass Effect is more of a 20-hour experience on the first run, but you'll probably want to re-experience the story at least once more because of its open-endedness in terms of its story.

Oblivion is far more open-ended than Mass Effect in terms of gameplay, but Mass Effect definitely wins in terms of character developmental open-endedness.

On the whole, I'd take ME over Oblivion.

cod4 is nothing without multiplayer. so if you dont have live dont get it. out of bioshock/mass effect i would go with mass effect in a second.

Mass Effect has great graphics and presentation, but you do more talking than fighting in the game. The fighting is great when you actually get to fight.. and the story isn't as great as everyone says it is. I sold it after I beat it.

Rock Band is a great game with lots of replayability. It has a decent set of songs, but more are downloadable, and it's a blast to play with others.

Dead Rising is a good game you can find cheap which is very entertaining with tons of stuff to do.

Bioshock is a pretty cool game from what I've played (about 8 hours so far)..

I'm looking forward to Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.. I think it's coming out Feb.

Sabateur looks cool too, but I don't know when that'll be out.

COD4 is a great multiplayer game, and from what I've seen is probably a good single player game as well. If you like online gaming, this is where it's at other than....

GOW, which if you haven't played by now then you've been living under a rock for the past few yrs.
