Alright so you guys seem pretty evenly torn between COD5 and COD4. What are the ups and downs of both games when you compare them to each other?

Also, I can't believe I forgot about the Orange Box. Bioshock is definitely on my radar, but I wasn't sure about Mass Effect. I'll look into that since you guys seem to really recommend it as well.

What game is Lost Odyssey? I've never played a Tales game, so I might get ToV. I still need to play ToS and ToS2 on the Wii, I've heard those are great. I really wasn't looking much at Left 4 Dead, is it really that good? What kind of a game is it, like an action zombie beat/shoot/hack em up?

Also I just bought myself the 360!~!~!~! I made a thread about it. :P Also got Banjo, Fable 2, and Gears 2.

Lost Odyssey is an RPG — it's rather like Final Fantasy if you're into that.

Left 4 Dead really is that good. It's actually a cooperative shooter. You play one of four human 'survivors' and the other three are controlled by other players. The four of you go through a number of campaigns together basically attempting to outlast wave after wave of zombies and escape the level. It's very hard to explain just how fun this is, so I would strongly suggest you download the demo. If cooperative gameplay is your cup of tea, I think you'll have weeks and weeks of fun with this game.
