[General Discussion] This or that?

I have two dilemmas actually. First part is RPG in the PS2:

Since I have Legendia and halfway through the Character Quests, I've been speculating what RPG to buy in terms of story, character development, battle system and eye candy. My two choices are Grandia III and Shadow Hearts 3. Now, I haven't played the past Grandia games and is interested in the third one since I've been hearing many good points about it. On the other hand, Shadow Hearts 3 because it's also what I've seen on Covenant. Quirky characters, awesome battle system and the judgement ring system are all awesome and are fun to deal with. Any recommendations?

Second is FPS:

Okay, Unreal Tournament 2007 is coming out leagues away. Being a good fan of the original UT release in 1999 and the recent in 2004 (No, I don't have 2003 sadly) due to the high-speed gameplay and just fun times I have with the multiple modes, I'm having a blast of a lifetime. At the same time however, games like Crysis or Enemy Territory also get my interest as much as 2007 does. Seeing the screens and looking good on paper, it has also caught my attention as well. Should I stick with 2007 or try out something new?

I could've added Supreme Commander, Medieval 2: Total War as well but they're just looming over the horizon and have yet to get my full attention.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
