I can't comment on all the games you mentioned, but I'd definitely recommend Far Cry 2, Mass Effect, and Tales of Vesperia. The Far Cry series is pretty sweet and I'm super excited for Far Cry 3 coming later this year. Mass Effect is amazing, I wouldn't know where to start talking. Vesperia is a gorgeous game with great battle music and a really fun combat system. That bumps the list down to well under $100, especially since those 3 games are all fairly old and can be found fairly cheap both new and used on Amazon for example.
Too Many Good Games!

I hate it when this happens. I'm looking to pick up a few new games for my upcoming birthday but I don't think I can afford it. There are eight games in total to consider: Far Cry 2, Sonic Generations, Rayman Origins, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Tales of Vesperia, Mass Effect, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
I've been wanting to pick up Far Cry 2 since last year. I thought I would get it last Christmas but it didn't work out that way. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is another title I've wanted for sometime now. I recently tried the Rayman Origins demo and I rented Sonic Generations and I fell in love with both games. After reviewing BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, I basically want to buy any game of the series and I figure to start at the beginning. I adore Street Fighter and its strange I don't own one of the new series. I had Street Fighter IV when it first came out but that doesn't make sense now and so I'm going for the Arcade Edition. I've been itching to play a good JRPG and although not conventional, Tales of Vesperia will satisfy that. Finally, I think I should finally dive into the Mass Effect series. I rented the first one and enjoyed it after a few hours of playing but returned it back to get (ironically) Tales of Vesperia. I want to carry my character throughout the whole series so I'm starting with the first.
Unfortunately, this will all run me almost $200. I'm not sure if I'll have that much to spend on games (plus my hesitance to spend that much on games because I have to be an "adult" and save for "just in case.") So what do you guys think? What's gotta go?
