long and the short of it: my girlfriend is awesome and always surprises me with stuff, got my a $20 PSN card, I have a bunch of PSN games as it is and really i've narrowed the choice down to:
Strangers Wrath HD
Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age
Castlevania HoD
I'm trying to get a game with a bunch of meat on its bones, some great gameplay and solid length.
I almost always get the pixel junk stuff, smaller type games, but this time I want a full on experience.
Is Strangers Wrath awesome because it was great back then and the atmosphere is good? or does it have awesome gameplay and solid length?
I loved every IGA-vania, is HoD worth it?
loved ME1, played 2 hours into 2 and it seemed great, but does it maintain being great?
I almost beat Dragon Age, but I think the one on PSN has a bunch of extra's, so that might make it worth it.
thoughts?

I miss all of the RPG elements that they removed from the first game (like a story), but it's still really, really good.
Really fun game
nope it is excellent
NOOOOOOOOPE.
DA2 is okay at best but basically a large step down from DA1. It's not terrible. It's decently long. ME2 is by far the better experience.
If you already "nearly" finished DA1, it's probably not worth it to buy it again as none of the extras were really that outstanding. iirc, ME2 on the PS3 comes with all the DLC and the little start up comic to let you choose some plot points from ME1, so that's kind of cool.

if anyone wants to help out a bit, with DA2, I see that the combat is a bit flashier, but is there anything tactical about it at all? is it fun? are there a good number of skill increases and abilities to choose from? How's the story? I read that a lot of the environments get re used often, and that's unfortunate, but I could look past it if, in fact the game really is fun and worth 20 bucks.
