Those are some good games, but if you want to have one, trust me, you want to have this: Be careful though, because after you play Mass Effect 2, your standards for gaming will sky rocket. Is that good.
Wait for Fallout: New Vegas and Halo Reach Type in "Halo Reach x10 gameplay" for gameplay (or Halo Reach ViDoc) on youtube And type in "Fallout New Vegas" and look for the one Machinima posted
Don't wait for new Vegas. It's being made by different devs. So while it may be good there is no way it will be as good as fallout 3 which was epic. Also both mass effects have to be bought. You put madden so I'll suggest these if you like sports, FIFA 10 and NHL 10. The two best sports games I have played and way better than madden.

Bethesda is still involved with Fallout New Vegas. They may be publishing. Either way, Obsidian isn't a bad developer. They made KOTOR 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2 after Bioware made both originals. Opinions vary on those games, but overall I think they are held in a descent light. Maybe since Bethesda isn't developing Fallout New Vegas won't be loaded with bugs. The GOTY edition is loaded with bugs, especially when you play the DLC.
It's being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Fallout 3 was Bethesda's in-house team. They're working together though so the quality should be right up there (Plus they worked on KOTOR and Neverwinter Nights). The article says it follows the same gameplay theme which is interesting, I'd have thought they'd do something different and save that setup for Fallout 4. I can't see 4 being drastically different so it looks like we're gonna have three games all in the same style. Suits me.
I just hope Obsidian has better alpha/beta testing. The bugs with Fallout 3, especially the GOTY edition and the DLC are horrendous. At the same time Bethesda is notorious for terrible bugs.
Get Bioshock 2 if you haven't played Bioshock 1. The only reason the second isn't better than the first is because you've played the first so the excessive sense of wonder is gone. However, it's still really scary, singleplayer is better than the first gameplay wise (and it isn't connected to the first one story wise, so you can just jump straight to #2 and then play #1), multiplayer turned out to be the real star (for me) as I started playing it 50% into the singleplayer and that's all I've done since.
I guess it's unavoidable with something of that scale. The number of different ways to approach a situation are almost endless. They do a decent job at fixing the major bugs though... I managed to platinum the PS3 version without any issues, but I did keep an eye on the Fallout Wiki 'cause it lists the known bugs for each quest... most required you to do something pretty specific so it's not as though you're gonna run into every single bug in the game through casual play.
I thought it was made by Beth. My bad, but Fallout New Vegas is a tilte you should watch for. But so far Fallout 3 is by far the best GOTY I've seen.
My wife got me the PS3 Fallout 3 GOTY edition, which is notorius for terrible, practically game ending, bugs. I'm about 25 hours in and it's been ok so far, but I'm pretty worried about what is going to happen. I want to try the DLC at some point, but I'm afraid it's going to kill my game. Either way, some bugs are understandable, but not the degree that people say they occur with the PS3 GOTY edition. Part of me thinks Bethesda doesn't have a clue how to deal with the bugs.
Lets say one 360 is in AV2 and one in AV3. Yes, you can system link, but you would only be able to display one 360 at a time on the TV. To display the other, you would need to switch from AV2 to AV3 (or vice versa). So yes, you could but it would be no fun unless its a game like Civ Revolution where you don't do things simultaneously. Thanks.
