Mass Effect. I'll be getting both, but I'm more excited for Mass Effect. It's being made by BioWare, the people who made KOTOR, and I don't think they're capable of making a bad RPG. Everything about it looks awesome. From the combat, to the dialogue, to what will probably be an amazingly deep story. I think Mass Effect will be up there with BioShock in terms of critical acclaim when it's released.
As for Assassin's Creed: My anticipation has really just gone down for the game since E3. Gameplay glitches aside, it looks pretty good, but not as revolutionary as I hoped it would be. It really just looks like an open-world Prince of Persia, which isn't necessarliy a bad thing, but still not what I had hoped for. Maybe the story will be really great, but Ubisoft's whole policy on the game is that they don't want to tell much about the story, so I can't get too excited for that aspect of the game, yet.
I suppose that as Assassin's Creed nears release and more info and later-build previews get released, my anticipation for the game will once again rise, but for now I have to recommend Mass Effect because my anticipation has only gone up, and I don't expect it to go anywhere else. Overall, I think Mass Effect will have the much more engaging story and will last much longer than Assassin's Creed, so it definitely gets my vote.
