So I have some money set aside for my next game. I do plan on getting Crysis and UT3 for the PC, but as my upgrade won't be happening til Christmas, I'll wait for the new stuff before I get those. But as for my next game, It's pretty much a toss up right now between Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect. I'm kinda leading towards Mass Effect as I'm a big fan of a lot of Bioware products (KoTOR, NWN imparticular). I played the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta and it wasn't that bad, but it also wasn't anything that special to me. Graphics were good, gameplay had some flaws in my opinion, but it still was relatively fun. Mass Effect seems to have a pretty good dialogue system and from what I've read, a pretty good combat system. I have heard of some issues regarding graphical glitches and of course long elevator rides hiding load times.

Right now, I'm still undecided but it will probably be a week or two before I buy it anyway, if I do before Christmas. Oh, sooo many games....
