I would never recommend buying a console for one game, and certainly not Mass Effect. It's good, but outside of the good character dialogue trees, the characters are pretty stereotypical, and the story is rather bland and over almost as soon as it begins. Combat is also kind of hit and miss. It's an above average game, but not nearly as amazing as a lot of people seem to think.Originally Posted by Moon Rabbits
Definitely get Valkyria Chronicles for your SRPG fix. The big ones like Little Big Planet, MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone 2, etc.
I don't recommend GTAIV, but that's because all of the little mini-game stuff was so prominently shoved down your throat in that game that it actually ruined the basic gameplay for me. Sure you didn't have to do any of it, but considering they went out of their way to try and get you to, and punished you if you didn't, it just got annoying. Nothing like getting a call from your cousin to go play a terrible mini-game when you're almost at a story mission, only to lose relationship points and the benefits maintaining those relationships offer you when you tell him you're busy. In my entire life, this is one of only two games I ever hated enough to trade in, which is saying a lot as I was a big fan of the series on the PS2.
