My worry is . . . is the XBOX 360 worth giving up the Final Fantasy series? I can get one or the other for Xmas, and in truth, I am leaning xbox, but I still have a lingering doubt..

Yes, it is, but, that's coming from the spiteful mouth of an Angry Ex-Final Fantasy fan who has been let down time and time again, ultimately culminating in the worst RPG I have ever played, FFX-2, FFXII was a bit better.... but. I HATE J-POP!

Final Fantasy has gotten a bit rediculous... I do bow down in awe of FFX, but the PS3 still isn't worth picking up - yet. It may never be worth it... I'd wait until the summer, or next fall if ever. It's the system so far behind it's beginning to remind me of the Sega Genesis and may go the same path.

I just finished Mass Effect, and, I must say that I agree whole heartedly with Fech on this one, his every take (including the repetition of side quests) was dead on. A game that can elicit such heavy handed emotion is a great game and what studios should seek in manner of story telling. The last battle kept my eyes glued to the TV, the end cinematics were that of sheer brilliance, and with that and the cliffhanger ending, I can honestly say that I cannot wait for the sequel.
Commander Shepard is going to be forever etched in gaming history for this one.

The last battle was crazy from beginning to end!

Awesome, sounds great! As for the PS3 not worth picking up, lolwut? Warhawk rules. Heavenly Sword was an excellent story and fun to play. The Darkness was fun. Uncharted is pretty cool, harkening back to the glory of the original Lara Croft. And most of all, the PSP connection compatibility (which is huge for me, with FFT ). OTher than those exclusives, all the great games that are cross console (Assassin's Creed, CoD4, ROCK BAND, GUITAR HERO 3, , etc and so forth. Upcoming titles: FF13 is shaping up to be cool (hopefully), MGS 4... zomg, Soulcalibur 4, Unreal 3, and surprisingly, the upcoming Turok title looks sweet. Oh yeah, and blue ray player. Woo! Well worth 400 buckaroos. Just my two cents. All that said, I am getting a 360 this holiday season. Two major consoles? Whats wrong with that? Heheh. Maybe a Wii as well, just for Galaxy and Smash Bros. ...can't... put... down... PSP.... FFT.... too... awesome.... must... do... finals....
