If I could it would be on the PC, seeing as I'd be fixing the busted levelling system with mods. However, looks like i'll be content on my plain old 360 if I do get it.

Why does it have to be a CoD game, why can't it just be a FPS that has no relation to any game that went before? Has Call of Duty so come to dominate the landscape that there's no room for any new realistic shooter IPs?

I don't think the two are necessarily related though. You can have a deep FPS set in the middle east that has a strong plot and good writing, but that doesn't make it unique. Similarly, you could set a game in the protestant reformation (interesting social simulation idea much?) and have...

I think Bioshock is the best game I've ever played from an all around perspective, so I'd say it's a 10/10. I guess that depends on how you define a 10/10 though, as I'm sure Irrational could have done more.

Does this count? because between that and the Xbox there is very little in my brain (although I do remember Syphon Filter).

I think that when it comes to aesthetics a lot of attention needs to be put into making a character feel like they match their aesthetics. If the personality and look go together it really can push the effectiveness of their character to another level.

If your budget is as small as it seems, I don't know if your time is best spent putting it towards story. If you look at some of the great games in the past they were great not because they had a really deep story but because they had some really good gameplay mechanics. It seems like you...

Gah, go ahead and steal all of my thunder why don't you.

I'd say Andrew Ryan was a good character in Bioshock but he certainly wasn't likable. Even if we aren't going by that definition, I didn't really like Joker very much in Mass Effect, but he was certainly one of the good guys. It seems that we are talking about good in an artistic perspective...

Bioshock is still the only game which I have cried playing. Combine that with some good FPS gameplay and plenty of variety and it looks like your clear choice here. Mass Effect 1 didn't have the best gunplay but it is a fair bit longer. Then again, a lot of that time can be spent driving...

For me he/she needs to be a little bit busted in some form. Maybe their parents died and they have problems with anger or maybe they're dealing with the fact that they can't be with the woman they love, but in either way they can't be mr./mrs. perfect. I've found that these are the things that...

This gets floated around all the time, I'll believe it when I see it.

Brace yourself for this: I wasn't blown away by Half Life 2. I played it a year ago for the first time, and I could certainly appreciate what Valve was doing, but it just didn't do it for me.

I don't know if those were necessarily attempts at being more "fun" they seemed to be more attempts at making the experience more streamlined and action oriented. I couldn't stand how you had to slow walk everywhere in the original Assassin's Creed, it was pretty miserable. That being said...

Eh, I can see where it might work, but it seems like Blitz is so based around that tight time limit that regenerating health would sorta ruin it.
