Yay, add me! Rainbird01! 
Alan Wake is pretty great if you like thriller/horror games.
I've started Mass Effect, but it's a really mixed bag for me. On one hand the conversation system, the story and the depth of the world you play in is incredible, but the action is rubbish! On top of that, checkpoints aren't something you find often, and the manual save mechanic is slow as hell. I don't know whether to recommend it or not.
