Just got $50AUD on my paypal and was wondering what to purchase, I narrowed it down to a few choices.

1. Tropico 3

2. Dirt 2

3. Torchlight + another $20 game

I prefer singleplayer and don't really have a genre I prefer. I loved Dirt 1, havn't played any Tropico games before and I've only heard good things about Torchlight, I cannot download any demos due to bandwidth limitations so which one should I buy?

Torchlight, packaged with Max Payne and Max Payne 2 will be marvelous.

Too bad you missed the massive sale they had over the last weekend, was great! Torchlight is good if you like diablo-esque rpg's, World of Goo is a great little thing i think its still like 10$.

Also picked up Mirrors edge for 5$!! When you only pay a 5er for a short game it makes it more enjoyable, its like 20$ again but thats still not bad. Dirt 2 is ok, i,m not sold on it yet. Played the demo and it was very pretty but I,m not really into off road racing. Either way get world of goo, you should have a spare 10 even after dirt 2.

Alright, I might just pick up Dirt 2 and try and get Torchlight aswell, or I could get Tropico 3 + Torchlight and wait until Christmas for Dirt 2 (I should have my DX11 card then! :D)

If you like Diablo type game (I am guessing you do since you have already put torchlight as one of the poll options) --- get Torchlight

Get Dirt 2... Codemasters racing title are generally exciting, beautiful experiences... as a fan of GRID, I would highly recommend Dirt 2. If not, get Torchlight and something else...

Orange Box is only $30 AU, well worth the price if you haven't got it already (I'm only typing that as I can't offer an opinion on any of your other titles :P.)

JB Hi-Fi have it for around $80, I still feel it's overpriced and I got it as a gift. :S Also guys, I'm getting Torchlight so should I get Dirt 2 or Tropico 3 (Or another $40~ game)
