Red Dead Redemption: Imagine GTA in a wild west setting where you don't have to be a dick... Or Crackdown with better graphics and cowboys instead of super heroes :/

Forza Motorsport 3: Forza 3 >>>>> Gran Tourismo (I haven't played GT5 though as I refuse to buy a demo).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Decent on-line play, but the generic "Russians trying to bomb America with nukes" bull crap solo campaign.

Battle-Field: Bad Company 2: Much like MW2, only with humor and destructible environments which work really well.
BC2 also lacks MW2's killstreaks, which I actually find to be a good thing as it stops nuke boosting and makes things fairer (anyone can jump in the tanks on the maps).
Also, the ability to strategically blow holes in buildings allows you to create your own vantage points, making things less predictable.

Halo 3: Pretty meh in terms of campaign play, but the online isn't bad if anyone is still not playing Reach.

Halo: ODST: Better solo play than Halo 3 and it comes with the entire Halo 3 on-line mode (including DLC) on a bonus disc.

Halo: Reach: Bungie's final Halo game, and one of their best.


Dead Rising 2 Zombies + lawnmowers, chainsaws, swords, light sabers, flame throwers, bombs, axes, sledgehammers, etc. = FUN!!!

Saints Row 2: > GTA IV.

Fallout 3: Basically, Oblivion in the Fallout universe, with VATS and the usual Bethesda humor in place of the usual Fallout humor.

lol played all of the except for BF:BC2 so i might try that and ps3 sucks.

Oh

Hidden content (Click to reveal)

Welp. did so. Feel kind of dumb for not figuring that out... then again. As a rule I don't press buttons during cut-scenes or credits. Cut-scenes because I worry that I'll skip it. Same reason for credits because sometimes if you sit through cut-scenes you get an extra ending cut-scene as a reward for sitting through them.

I do this too but It's a shame that most of the newer games I've played don't give you a little extra bonus scene after the credits roll, or it's just plain lackluster. I just beat FFXII (way better than X imo) and thought it was pretty good, and I don't think ANY final fantasy has done this except maybe 8 IIRC but I sat through all the credits and got nothing to show for it. I can't complain though, the concept sketches they show were pretty stellar.

I wish there were more newer games which this type of battle system, I know dragon age is somewhat similar but that's probably one of the worst games I've never payed for.

Played a little Clear Sky but never got around to actual combat.

Also tried the Medal of Honor Beta. It was Bad Company 2 simplified. Fun but I've been spoiled by the complexity of other military shooters.

Maybe the Single Player will be good.

L4D2 is only 6.49 on steam with the new DLC bundled in, worth it? I could always just pirate grandia

I'd say L4D2 is work $7 if you like the game type.

I bought it. I was pretty much waiting for it to go below ten bucks. Left 4 dead one was really short on content so I didn't have much interest in 2. I'll play it a little when I'm done with Clear Sky.


Also. I really like MW2 multiplayer (despite it having fucking matchmaking) however, even when 50% off the map packs (combined they have 6 new maps and 4 remakes) are 15$ total it only just BARELY seems worth it. Should I buy it and forsake whatever the next sale steam has? This could reignite my interest in the game pretty quickly...

Of course if I don't buy them, who knows when they will become cheaper again... and $30 for the packs is totally out of the question.

I hated Bad Company 2's campaign. it was pretty awful

Yeah it wasn't nearly as good as the first one's campaign. Pretty dull.

Also I made this with google's new chart app:

ff4 wassup.  i just beat the dark elf.

Dood trust me the maps are worth it, they're all very detailed and play awesomely sure there are remakes but I actually prefer some remakes over the new maps and definitely over there original versions in Cod4, though Black Ops is around the corner.

Out of curiosity. did you buy them for full price?

enslaved, played it for 7 hours so far and i'm in chapter 12. loving it, i wish there were more good adventure games like this.

Ah. . . 
TGSAP, but used most of Quietus's TS n the early battles, making it nigh-impossible to fight Cassius. I'm trying to figure out how to hack the maker to restore it, as i don't want to have to kill hundreds of monsters ot get so many souls. IF i run out of patience I'll either restart the game or play something else.
