I have all three.

I'm a big fan of the COD series, but I guess it's an acquired taste. Pretty standard shoot em up stuff. Personally, I like the story of the Treyarch games. This is Black Ops and World at War, but once again, I may be in the minority.

Between ACB and RDR, I think ACB is the better game. I was actually pretty sick of the RDR by the time I'd completed the story and traded the game in. It got to be repetitive, as all rock star games are. ACB I will keep around just for the multiplayer, and I may go back and redo some solo missions.

The story itself to ACB is really short. The game only gets long if you want to do all the side missions or get 100% synchronization on the missions (mean completed a mission a certain way).

You can always buy Assassin's Creed 2 for about $20 and start with that. No multiplayer, but fun single player (not quite as good as ACB though). In fact, I would recommend doing that just to get caught up on the story.
