Hi all so I have next week off work and would really like to get stuck into a new game on my ps3 and am unsure what I should go with. I have never played either the mass effect or assassins creed games. Which series would you recommend and why.? If anyone could give me some pros and cons for each series of games and why I should play them. I have heard lots about how good they are but which ones should I spend my time playing? Thanks

Though, what I will say, that as a PS3 player, if you wanted to play Mass effect you might want to wait till they release the trilogy box set so you can play the game from 1 through to 3. Mass Effect Trilogy
I will say Mass Effect 1 is more roleplayery than the second and third parts, but the characters and the story make the game what it is.
Seriously different!
OP - it really depends on your preferred game type.
If you love shooters with rpg elements than Mass Effect is the option.
However, if you love action/adventure/platform, then AC it is.
Personally I prefer AC for all the free roaming and running you can do.
ME would take up more time, you'd be looking at about 30 hours of saved gameplay time and it needs at least 3 playthroughs to get all the cheevos/trophies. (if you're a hunter)
AC is great looking and stylish. I just wish it was little (and I do mean little) bit more like Hitman with regards to the main kills.
Depending on your preferred game type you shouldn't be disappointed by either series.
Got AC3 this morning and I'm still working through AC:REV. Need more hours in the day!
I came to AC a couple of years later, i got the 2nd as a christmas present, but hadn't played the frist. I played the first 15 mins and didn't get it at all, go bought the 1st, played that, loved it. Since then, i've played each one, and i am awaiting my amazon delivery as i type .
Mass Effect is probably my all-time favourite series, although I do admit the ending to Mass Effect 3 did ruin it slightly for me. I think the first two games are fantastic though.
Overall, I enjoy playing both and they're definitely games I can play again. Definitely looking forward to playing ACIII when I get it for Christmas for the WiiU.
The Assassin's creed games are great (I own them all) but each game isn't miles apart from the one before. Each Mass Effect is an entirely different game and has some brilliant bits of DLC which are integral to the story.
Depends on how your feeling, if you want an extended play session you won't get bored of then go for Mass Effect. If you want something you can pick up and play on and off then go for AC.
Yes and no
In terms of playing as Connor he is a new character so no you won't miss anything
In terms of playing as desmond, well this is the 5th game so you'll miss out of 4 games of back story
