Default Pick my next video game purchase

I want to grab a new bargain video game I have never played but cannot decide so if you could buy just one of these games what would you pick? This is for Xbox 360.

1. Mass Effect Trilogy (all 3 games)
2. Bioshock Utimate Rapture Edition (Bio 1,2, DLC)
3. Fallout 3
4. Red Dead Redemption
5. Dishonored
6. Hitman Trilogy (All 3 Hitmen games)

I want to play them all but I have to start somewhere. Maybe rank them for me.

It's not a bargain price, but for the amount of gameplay you will get... GTA5.

But if I have to go by the list, you can't really go wrong with any of them.

Well I want to play that too but I can get the above games much cheaper right now.

Vote for Hitman or Mass Effect. Mass Effect if you can turn your brain off for most of the third installment. Hitman if you can't.

I would say Mass Effect. Although, I just picked up Red Dead Redemption today and am so far really enjoying it.

Mass Effect Trilogy. The Mass Effect games are in my top 3 favourite games of all time.

A must play.

Definitely agreed with this. Many people make way too much of a stink over the third game. As a trilogy it is not only a great play, but a good story and also a interesting look at how a series can evolve over the years.

Red Dead Redemption would be my choice. Fantastic open world game.

1, 4, 3, 2, 6, 5

As someone who hated the ending, ME3 is still an amazing game. The entire series ranks at top of my list. I feel it's a must play. As a piece of science fiction, Mass Effect has the deepest and most fleshed out universe since Star Wars.

Bioshock is a fantastic game as well and another I'd suggest is a must play. However, you won't get more than 20 hours playing through Bioshock 1. I haven't played 2 yet but I doubt there is more than 15 hours to that game either.

Dishonored is great too. I've logged somewhere around 40-50 hours with the base game plus all of the DLC. That essentially includes two separate playthroughs. It's a lot like Bioshock with maybe a little Assassin's Creed thrown in.

I'd probably rank them thusly,

Mass Effect
Bioshock
Dishonored
Red Dead Redemption (I'd expect this to jump up a spot or 2 by the time I've finished it)
Hitman
Fallout 3
