I ended up getting Mass Effect. I hope to play it in a little while.

As for other options .... I paid $30 for Mass Effect. Not that I wouldn't pay more but if given two wonderful options and one costs $30 and one costs $60, the answer is obvious.

Which of these have good co-op modes? (e.g. 2 - 4 players, one console...)

Local co-op RPG? Neither of these... are you looking looking for a hack'n'slash like the console Baldur's Gate games?

Yeah, the only RPG that comes close to being a traditional RPG with co-op is Fable II. And even that has its limitations and caveats.

Ultimate Marvel Alliance is probably the kind of RPG you're thinking of for this generation.

Fable 2, Mass Effect, Tales of Vesperia are all high on my list. Lost Odyssey was meh with a good story. Oblivion was meh with lots to do but a mediocre story (i got bored with it). Fallout 3 is supposed to be good but I haven't tried it yet.

Oblivion
Fallout 3
Fable II
Eternal Sonata
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Penny Arcade Adventures, Ep I & II
Infinite Undiscovery
Tales of Vesperia

The Last Remnant is coming on 11/20. Star Ocean is coming on 3/3.

I have to disagree on Infinite Undiscovery. Probably just because of the battle system.

Or what you could do is just download SSF and play Dragon Force on the Sega Saturn. Best RPG ever!!!!
