It really depends on what you are into. I like both games for different reasons and here is why: Mass Effect truly pushes rpgs to somewhere they have never gone before. The story is amazing and the way the writers set it up you truly have different feeling for different characters not just the typical like or hate thing. If you love to shoot things Halo 3 is great and it has good online play and if you liked halo 2 you like halo 3. I personally prefer COD 4 for online matches you just dont have to deal with the same whiny 10 year olds. Hope this helps.

Halo 3 is a whole lot of fun the first time you play through it but the multiplayer gets old after a few games and the single player is only good for one play through.

I haven't played Mass Effect because I hate the games BioWare makes.

Mass Effect and COD4 are really great games. If I had to chose between halo3 and mass Effect I would go with Mass Effect.

B/C I like games like Mass Effect. Plus halo 3 story wasn't that great and the online play doesn't even come close to halo2

Now COD4's online play is great and the story is pretty sweet just a little bit short.:D

mass effect if you can appreciate a good story and forgive some gameplay faults.
halo 3 if you'd rather have an unpolished single-player campaign and... well i hope you like shotty snipers.

if you want multiplayer, get the orange box.

Mass Effect you can't explore a lot of the planets. You can only survey them for stuff/achievement. I think it's showing you the planets you're going to explore in the upcoming trilogy. There is only three main planets. There are a lot of side planets where you drive around and find two things. Then you kind of do one small mission on the planet. Basically you do three things on the side quest/planet and that's it. Any otherwise, so far there is only one main city that I have been to so far and that is the Citadel. The side planets is really just to drive around and show off graphics.

Mass Effect will definitely give you more bang for your buck. The story is great and the gameplay is great. Halo 3 is just Halo 2 with better graphics so go and buy the steak (mass effect) because Halo 3 is top ramen with can vegetables added.

Both are pretty excellent, basically depends which type of game you like more. Mass Effect will last you a while and has quite a bit of replay value, but Halo 3 on the other hand has some pretty good multiplayer that could also keep you busy for some time.

Halo 3 without a doubt in my mind, it gives a great and solid singleplayer and (online) co-op experience and don't even let me get started on the amazing multiplayer:

- Tons of content.
- Great ranking system.
- More than 400000 people online at almost any time of the day.
- Never before seen support from Bungie.
- Fun for casual and competitive gamers.
- ... ... ... ... ...

Halo 3 will still be played for years to come, CoD 4 will probably be forgotten in a few months, maybe weeks. (Fanboys are just in denial.)

BTW, forget Mass Effect if you really want a good RPG, you should get The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY. That game will make you sit in front of your TV for weeks... (I guarantee it!)
