Yeah, Mass Effect was good when they actually bothered to make a game experience; unfortunately, most of my time playing the game was spent on lifeless, generally hostile worlds driving around in a tank that weighs about twenty pounds and shooting evil robots without another soul in sight. Sometimes I would go into structures filled with boxes that all looked the same, and shoot people inside.
I have my worries about Dragon Age as well, since they're going with a similar setup for your character's role in the world. The Grey Guards seem, basically, to be exactly the same as the Spectres, only they use swords instead of guns. Making a character part of some elite military force seems to destroy the illusion of player choice and remove personal involvement. And I had thought that DA was going to be a PC exclusive, except now it isn't. So now I'm a little hesitant about DA:O, although playing through your origin story does sound pretty awesome.
Also, Batman: Arkham Asylum looks pretty sweet.
