Help me pick a video game!!!

Okay, so summer is finally here for me and I actually have free time to play a new video game.

BUT

there are some issues. Foremost among these issues is that I haven't played any new release since almost an entire year ago, Demigod being the exception. Also, I have an Xbox and a Pc but no ps3

keeping that in mind does anyone have any good strategy or rpg game suggestions?

I'm tossing around

Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, and Bioshock 2 right now but... its so hard to pick when there are so many good games I haven't played

Suggestions?

Mass Effect 2 first. If you have not played the original make sure you do that first.

Play Starcraft 2 or Elemental.

Play Starcraft 2 or Elemental.

I own elemental and I don't like starcraft ocd multiplayer too complicated for my poor brain

@Teseer

Single preferably but I'll do multi if its good and not starcraft i.e. CODMOD 2

If you haven't played it yet, Prototype is fucking crazy fun.

If you're into multiplayer, Bad Company 2 is an excellent choice.

I've also heard the Red Dead Redemption is a great game.

you do get those in Diplomacy also. I also suggest btw, the new splinter cell.

 

EDIT: I had a dumb  moment.

The mass effect 1 and 2 are a very good choice if you're into storylines. I'm ALSO very stoked about Star Craft single player when SC2 comes out, crazy love for that story, just, wha. :-P

 

Honestly ... not much else in my mind has been around lately, SotS2 is coming out soon-ish I hear. Don't know about this summer though.

I'm really enjoying disciples III.  If you want on the budget, maybe give disciples 2 a shot.

Mass Effect would be my vote.  Excellent game.  It will give you tons of play time, especially if you haven't played the first one yet.

I was nuts for mass effect 1. But I think I'm the only one who thought mass effect 2 kind of sucked. I can't explain why without spoilers. Like 50% of the plot was awesome, but the end, well, I thought it was an atrocity.
