Crackdown was fun yet short. Assassin's Creed i found to be boring and repetitive. Fable 2 is a renter cuz its just so short even if you do all the side quests.

The problem with having the systems you have streak is that their game selections are kinda lacking. The Wii is mostly shovel-ware and kid shit. The PS3 has few quality games that you cant just find on 360 or pc.

I'm kinda in the "bleh" position you are when it comes to games. I work in a video game store so i get to play pretty much everything right when it comes out and its been a long time since i've been impressed with a game.

I'd have to agree with wrexify and say that Left 4 Dead is extremely fun.. but its not on PS3 or Wii so that doesnt help streak.. unless he plays PC.

You could give street fighter 4 a rent. should keep you busy for a few days.
You can easily get 100+ hours of play time out of Fallout 3 or Oblivion.

The only things i can really recommend on Wii are Zelda, Metroid (kinda), and *MAYBE* rail shooters like House of the Dead 2/3/overkill Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles W/ a Wii Perfect Shot. Everything else is just total and complete garbage. I guess you can dive back in time and hit some of the old school downloadable games off the Wii like the various Zelda games and stuff like that.

I've played Mass Effect, yes. Its good for one play-through. There are parts that i felt could have been improved such as the driving parts and too much un-needed running around. The game felt a bit lacking.. there could have been a lot more to it.

I'd definitely go with Fallout 3 over Mass Effect. I would also go with Fallout 3 over Oblivion but i would say that one is more a matter of personal taste. The two games are very similar except in one you have guns and the other you have swords/magic.

Edit: Almost forgot. F.E.A.R. 2 isn't bad. Its hard to find a FPS that the controls for aiming are so sharp and accurate. The game is pretty tough, yet not to the point of throwing the controller at the wall. I dunno if you'll find it scary at all, i certainly didn't. I felt they tried too hard to freak you out. Seeing Alma is supposed to be somewhat frightening i guess, but every time i saw her i just thought "ok.. so that happened" or "ok so i guess i'm supposed to go in that direction".

As for Resistance 2.. i dunno.. it had some ok hype around it but after it came out i didn't hear many good things about it and got quite a few copies traded-in.

IF you go with either of those games i would go and pick it up used.. play it for a few days. Then when you're done with it or if you don't like it go and return it and get your $ back. Or rent it.
