Help me pick a video game!!!

from Demigod Forums

Okay, so summer is finally here for me and I actually have free time to play a new video game.

BUT

there are some issues. Foremost among these issues is that I haven't played any new release since almost an entire year ago, Demigod being the exception. Also, I have an Xbox and a Pc but no ps3

keeping that in mind does anyone have any good strategy or rpg game suggestions?

I'm tossing around

Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, and Bioshock 2 right now but... its so hard to pick when there are so many good games I haven't played

Suggestions?

Mass Effect 2 first. If you have not played the original make sure you do that first.

I own elemental and I don't like starcraft ocd multiplayer too complicated for my poor brain

@Teseer

Single preferably but I'll do multi if its good and not starcraft i.e. CODMOD 2

If you haven't played it yet, Prototype is fucking crazy fun.

If you're into multiplayer, Bad Company 2 is an excellent choice.

I've also heard the Red Dead Redemption is a great game.

you do get those in Diplomacy also. I also suggest btw, the new splinter cell.

 

EDIT: I had a dumb  moment.

The mass effect 1 and 2 are a very good choice if you're into storylines. I'm ALSO very stoked about Star Craft single player when SC2 comes out, crazy love for that story, just, wha. :-P

 

Honestly ... not much else in my mind has been around lately, SotS2 is coming out soon-ish I hear. Don't know about this summer though.

I'm really enjoying disciples III.  If you want on the budget, maybe give disciples 2 a shot.

Mass Effect would be my vote.  Excellent game.  It will give you tons of play time, especially if you haven't played the first one yet.

Get Rock Band so we can play together.

I was nuts for mass effect 1. But I think I'm the only one who thought mass effect 2 kind of sucked. I can't explain why without spoilers. Like 50% of the plot was awesome, but the end, well, I thought it was an atrocity.
