I played the demo to Dragon Age 2, and it was utter shoot. Generic hack-n-slash with ridicuously over the top flashy moves, stiff and awkward dialogue and annoying characters... I've actually heard people say it's an okay game (a la Mrgantoe) (which I don't believe), but I haven't heard a single person say it's better than the first one. By all means, if you can, get Dragon Age: Origins instead. It's a "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate, and while it's not quite as good, it's still a pretty good fantasy RPG (and a lengthy one too).

I also enjoyed StarCraft 2, although I must admit I lost interest in it somewhere closer to the end and never finished. The story isn't particularly riveting, some of the between-missions dialogue is some rather pretentious drivel, and it was too easy (the Terran infantry could rip everything apart, without involving any of the annoying micro management from the first StarCraft), but I still enjoyed the game a lot. Between StarCraft 2 and Dragon Age: Origins, I'd say get whichever you're in the mood for: RPG or RTS?

Assassin's Creed, I haven't played.
