Before you refer me to the 360 recommendation thread, read the post.

Okay so I'm thinking of buying a new game sometime today or tomorrow, but I can't seem to decide. I want a game that I can really get into since it's holidays for me right now and my interest lies in Action games and shooters. I've been looking at these 3 games in particular and I'd like to get your opinion on which one to get, or you could even throw in another title should you think it's better. (Btw, I already have GTA IV, CoD 4, ES:IV, BioShock [ which I felt was disappointing ], GoW ) The Orange Box is out because I wanna get it on my computer.

Anyway the three games are :

RB6V

RB6V 2

GRAW 2

Which do you think is better?

Rainbow Six 2 is the best choice. Simply because it's the shnit on LIVE! Though GRAW2 is addicting too.

Okay, and another question.

I know RB6V 2 is the sequel to the original RB6V, but is the story continued? Will I miss anything if I don't play the first?

The story line is actually more like a prequel. And its also the sequal as well. Hard to explain really (i.e. don't fell like going into details) but its both a sequel and a prequel at the same time. So in essence you don't even have to have played the first, but it would definately help understanding the big picture.

Well if your getting a 360 then be sure to get Mass Effect (if you like Sci-Fi/RPGs), Gears of War (thought the sequel hit stores this holiday season). Call of Duty 4 (since you seem to like shooters [and if you have LIVE]) And it should go without saying that Halo 3 is also a wise choice (especially if you have LIVE).

Yeah I finished GeoW already, and I already have CoD 4 on my PC. I was disappointed with H3, but I'm seriously considering ME. I loved Oblivion, so would I like ME? How are they different?

Well the setup and feel is definately different. Mass effect feels epic(ish) whearas Oblivion feels just medevil and D&D-ish. ME also lets you deside the outcome of many events during the game (think KOTOR, if you ever played it) at even who lives and dies, sometimes. If you are a fan of sci-fi like Stargate, Star Wars, or Firefly (Serinity), then you'll most likely love the game. But, if your more into mission based type of gameplay, collecting items, armor, weapon, etc. then of course Oblivion is better suited for you. Also, if you have a HDTV (and HDMI cord) you'd notice ME is so much prettier!

It's preference really. ME is definatley shorter that Oblivion, with roughly 10 hours of gameplay. But those 10hrs where fun as shnit for me!

Okay, but I think I'll drop it since Sci - Fi's not really my thing...

Actually I think I'm looking for a more light and enjoyable game right now...
