Spec Ops: The Line. It isn't that long, can be done in one sitting, but has an excellent story and lead character. There isn't much replayability in it so might as well get it out of the way.
Wow, way to sell it! Sounds like it's barely a rental... ;D
(I have no intention of playing but its because it's first person and I find them disorienting, but have no actual opinion of the game beyond that. It's just your comment made it very underwhelming).
OP:
Dark Souls. It is without a doubt the best game on your list. Spec Ops people will argue, but it might be done in one sitting (fat chance though), has a lot of replayability and excellent gameplay. It has a very minimalistic story that is discovered rather than told.
Other than that: Catherine is pretty good.
On another note I've been going between my
new games and my
backlog:
- Assassin's Creed 2 (never played 'em, figured I'd play the one that actually won some GOTYs)
- Tekken 6
- Cross Edge
- Atelier: Meruru
- Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- The Last Story
- Mugen Souls
