Need a new PS3 or Wii game

[Del Murder]

Help me find a new (single player) game to play, EoFF. Here's some of the games I've played so you get an idea of what I like:

PS3:
Assassin's Creed series
Batman Arkham series
Borderlands series
Duck Tales Remastered
Final Fantasy XIII & XIII-2
God of War series (haven't played Ascension though)
Infamous
Journey
The Last of Us
Mass Effect series
Mega Man 9 & 10
Portal series
Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted series
The Walking Dead

Wii:
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Mario Galaxy series
The Last Story
Xenoblade Chronicles
Zelda series

Some games I am considering are:
God of War: Ascension
Valkyria Chronicles
XCOM: Enemy Unknown

You should seriously check out Diablo3 for the PS3 (just released). They've done a great job of converting the hack-n-slash gameplay to a controller. It's very visceral, to say the least and a very different experience from the PC version.

Is there a monthly fee for Diablo III?

[Madame Adequate]

Get XCOM.

On your list Valkyria Chronicles is definately a good game, one of the most unique SRPG experiences out there. Enemy Unknown, while it has some issues even afer the bug fixes, is a solid game. Not one I usually get that into, mind you, but it's pretty easy to tell the quality and time that went into making it.

If you don't mind trying a different kind of RPG that focus's a lot more on time management and interations with other party members, and doesn't really have the same kind of world saving epic plot of others, Atelier Ayesha is a good one to try out. Especially if you like crafting in RPG's, as to date I don't think there is a game that even comes close to the quality crafting system of Ayesha. If you never liked crafting in RPG's though, stay away. It's pretty damn central to the game as a whole.

Far Cry 3 is a shooter that I found to be well worth buying. Also, if you like Uncharted's gameplay, Tomb Raider is great. Shame it doesn't have the awesome comedy mixed in with it, but hey, can't all be Nate.

Valkyria Chronicles = Very Yes.

For the PS3, I would suggest Nier and maybe Folklore. I've never beaten Folklore, but I remember having a lot of fun with it when I first got the PS3.

For Wii, I would suggest Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon and Pandora's Tower.

Folklore is a smurfing trap. It tricks you. I present to you my Folklore experience.

Turned on game: "Hey, this is pretty interesting. Could be something here."
Turned it off after four hours.
Next day thinking back on that: "Wow, that was really smurfing stupid. I am never touching that game again."

Maybe it is bad, haha. It's been a long time since I've played it at all. I thought it was pretty fun at the time though.

Inb4 bert tells you to sell both consoles and get civ v on pc with the money.

Go with Valkyria!

XCOM is excellent, if somewhat different from the other games on that list. As far as I'm aware, there is no monthly fee for Diablo 3, and I intend to get it. I'll let you know of my experiences with it, if you've got the patience to wait a few days?

...

I don't think that question mark should be there.

[CimminyCricket]

Far Cry 3 was pretty awesome, even though I played in on 360. Barring that, go ahead and grab Disgaea 3 or 4. They're both pretty awesome games.

I've never played any of the games you are considering.

[Slothy]

Get XCOM.

This and Valkyria Chronicles.

[Flying Mullet]

Is there a monthly fee for Diablo III?

There is no fee. It supports both offline and online modes.

The Castle of Illusions game came out recently. That should be a bit of fun if you like remade, old school platformers. I have a few more suggestions, but they have some good advice so far. I may update this when I get a chance to look at my games.
