I'm currently into Far Cry 3 on ps3. Love this game.

I'm going to beat Far Cry 3 pretty soon (I think) and I also just finally ordered Mass Effect 3. I was deep in the throes of SW:TOR when ME3 came out and then never got around to it. ME and ME2 are both in my top 5 single player experiences along with KOTOR, Half-Life and Rome: Total War. Hopefully ME3 lives up to its predecessors. Either way, it's going to be the next game I play.

X-COM is fun as balls. Love that game. I just completed my Impossible playthrough, now I have my Classic Ironman run to look forward to.

I've been wanting to try Hotline Miami. Is it as fun as it looks?

Is it necessary to play ME 1 or 2 before playing 3? I've got a giftcard to Gamestop but I have no clue what game to get.

Just bought XCOM on Green Man Gaming for $17.50 using code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 if anyone else is interested. Going to spend pretty much my 4 day weekend playing.

I would say that Mass Effect is really one of those series where you have to start from the very beginning (but 1 and 2 should be super cheap and I'm sure there's a pack you can buy). The gameplay in ME1 might seem a little outdated by now but the story-telling, the extremely detailed and well-explained back-drop will swallow you up into an amazing adventure.

The choices you make in ME1 carry over to ME2 and then ME3, but if you start at ME3, I think the game can just give you a default story.

Looks like the Mass Effect trilogy is available for $60. I might go rent the 1st one to see if I like the gameplay before I buy the series.

The game play tightens up quite a bit in the second game. This series is about SciFi jerkoff fantasies. It is fantastic.

I don't know if you're into reading at all, but if you do play ME1 (which is way more about setting up the universe and telling a story than it is about providing crisp gameplay), I would highly recommend reading the codex entries that pop-up throughout the game. It's incredible how well BioWare thought everything out.

It's great if you don't mind the Super Meat Boy/Trials HD type of "**** I died, hit restart 141 times in a single level" gameplay. You don't have to play it at a frenetic pace, but you will die quickly and often.
