I have no xbox live and never will get it :(

which one of those games should i get lol.

I've played ME on pc many times and liked it but only played it for an hour

I've played GOW

I've played cod 4 tremendously online PC

I can also get Left 4 Dead on pc

Same with Dead Space

and i've heard gow 2 mp is worse than Gow which was incredible

so my decision is basically based upon the single player of these games

which has teh longest/best/highest caliber?

if you have no xbox live then get mass effect. hands down one of the best games ive ever played imo. the other games you would really get bored without a friend. so yea, id definitley go for mass effect if you havent beat it yet

-Mass effect clocks in around 30 if you do all the side quests. maybe a bit more depending on difficulty.

-Dead Space is around 12 hours on medium.

these two are teh big single players on your list. don't bother with cod or left 4 dead, because their multiplayer oriented.personally, i loved both mass effect and dead space. mass effect is cheaper though, longer, and has a better story, so i'd have to say go with that.

go for mass effect, ive beat it 7 times and im still obsessed with it haha. and the achievements will keep you coming back for more and more. and it gets good about 2 or 3 hours in once you get off the citadel. trust me, you cant go wrong with it and its only $18 used at gamestop!

Out of those choices - and especially without LIVE - go with Mass Effect it will give you the longest AND most enjoyable single player experience. Dead Space would be my second choice but it's nowhere near as long as ME.

PS - as to your FO3 or Oblivion vs. BOTH question - they are both MUST OWN titles. Those games will keep you busy for a very, VERY long time as long as you adventure around and do side quests in addition to the main quest.

Just got mass effect for $1.56 a couple days ago used at gamestop. I traded in a copy of blitz league 2 (got it for free for fixing this guys computer) used my edge card. Anyways the game has been extremely bad ass, I was scared of this game at first cause it was compared to oblvion which I hated. This game has been a lot of fun and has turned me onto the idea of getting fallout 3. Either way I've never played a game as long as I've played mass effect I just dont want to put the controller down. Excellent story and game play.

 

Also star wars the force unleashed seems insanley fun played the demo and I'm dying for the real game now.

You can't really compare dead space and mass effect because they are two very much differently oriented games. Having played both, they're past phenomenal. Mass effect is truly more addicting, but dead space is one of the games kinda like bioshock. It gets you roped in to where you can't gel but keep going. What everyone has said is pretty much true though. I'm pretty sure I've logged about 300 hours on mass effect amongst all my characters, so there isn't a doubt that you'll get more play time out of it

For me mass effect was the most satisfying orginal campaign i've ever played. it takes sci fi in video games to a new level... away from the star wars and trek type games

youre kinda missing out on whatt xbox 360 has to offer, its xbox live system!. buying games with mp option on xbox 360 without xbox live just doesnt feel worth the money i paid for. so id stick to single player games if you dont have or not planning on getting live. definitely mass effect is a good game, and its cheap. By the way, why did you mentioned gow 2 mp isnt great as gow, when your arent planning on getting live anyways. :? that really confused me
