If you could only choose between Mass Effect and Assassins Creed to get which would you buy and why? AND NO loopholes or ways around it! One or the other! No ifs, ands or buts!

Since I can ONLY get one I have to choose Assassins Creed. I want to play Mass Effect badly but as badly as I want to play it I know I will probably like Assassins Creed more. Not to mention I like sword games more. However the down side is Mass Effect supposedly has a massive storyline that will take a long time to beat.

Mass Effect, if I am going to spend $60 then I want a game to last me. Since both dont have a multiplayer Mass Effect looks like its going to be way longer.

I'd have to wait for the reviews then because I don't feel strongly one way or the other.

Mass Effect. I've been waiting more then 2 years for it. Character customazation is something that adds loads of replay value to a game. And it's not a short game to begin with. It will most likely have a very engaging story line and probably some memorable characters. Plus, you will have allot to explore.

KOTOR was a very good RPG. It had all things mentioned above except (in my opinion) rock-solid gameplay. If a game was suppose to be made from KOTOR's gameplay alone it would be abysmal. Yet, it was a classic because it had a great story, memorable characters and a nice dialogue system.

Mass Effect improved loads upon KOTOR's unique dialogue system, no doubt the character customization has been enhanced and improved, the story line as I hear seems to be better then KOTOR's, the graphics are obviously light years ahead of it and it looks like it's going to have that one thing that KOTOR lacked. Awesome gameplay.

So, I can't really wait for that game. Assassin's Creed looks good too and I'll probably get that also, but if I'd have to choose it's Mass Effect all the way.

I would choose Assassins Creed. I just might pass on Mass Effect all together because from the gameplay vids, the combat system will probably frustrate the heck out of me. I will probably give it a rent and if I find it enjoyable, I will definitely pick it uptoaddvariety to my collection of my mostlyFPS and sports titles.

I dislike Bioware RPG's and Mass Effect seems like a run-ff from Knights of the Old Republic, a game which I could not get into at all. I'll stick with Assassin's Creed, I'll put money on it that it also gets higher ratings than Mass Effect. 50$ on the table !

My money is going with Mass Effect since a lot of magazines have rated it over a 9 already. The most i will expect from assassins creed is a 8.5 or maybe a 9.0, 9.1., 9.2??? it's a good game but not good enough to get higher than mass effect. Besides mass effect is gonna be WAAAAAAAYYYY longer.

I'd have to say Mass Effect. That game is going to be awesome...there is no way around it. Looks like another nail in the coffin for PS3.

I would bet my 360 Elite that Mass Effect's rating is easily higher than Assassins Creed. The games are in no way the same but Mass Effect (belive it or not) is going to be doing things in a game that just really haven't been possible without next gen hardware. Assassins Creed (which i'm sure will be good to) is Prince of Persia esq and therefore definitely will not have a higher rating. For the record though I'll be owning both.

I'd have to go with Assassins Creed maybe its a kind of an andvanced Prince of Persia from a gameplay perspective but the setting and story are completely original whens the last game you played in the time of the Crusades? Sure Im sure Mass Effect will be good but its another sci-fi game like Gears or Halo another redundant worn out cliched genre, Plus I'm not really impressed buy what I've seen it seems you go from a galaxy menu into a planet which will probably be a small patch of areas. Now if they had made some type of crazy full streaming galaxy I would be sold but this was all previously done on KOTOR and the game play seems like an advanced GRAW or GOW.

It's a tough choice, but I'd choose Assassin's Creed, since I've been more interested in that game for longer.

Mass Effect - hands down. I think AC will be an awesome game, but in no way superior to Mass Effect.

EASY- Mass effect. Have you read the reviews coming out on it? 9.75 from game Informer. The games looks to move the entire sci fi rpg genre to a new level.

I'll more than likely get both, but if I had to choose one it would be Assassin's Creed. Most anything Ubisoft makes is a sure win and if it plays anything like Prince of Persia...I'm in.

I'm looking forward to assassins creed more. it's set during the crusades, its a sandbox, and will havefun controls. Mass Effect doesn't look like it will hold my interest, even though it will be an undeniably great game.

Mass Effect. BioWare's record with me is outstanding. Ubisoft, not so much.

Mass Effect... the scope of the game is just amazing. There's a lot of replay value in this one.

I believe you have already answered your own question. There is no sword fighting in Mass Effect! Wait till later and get Mass Effect.

As good as the movies for AC look I just have a nasty feeling that it won't be as great as it promises. If I'm picking today and only picking one then I feel more secure that Mass Effect will be awesome....I think AC has the potential to disappoint.

Not even close, Mass Effect.

I picked up the prequel book, Mass Effect: Revelation, and its a decent read. Lots of action and it really sets the stage for the game.

Man this is a hard one, I'd choose..... Mass Effect. Simply because I'm not good at stealth.
