If I was going to buy $200 worth of games what should I get. SEE EDIT

I am about get a new laptop for college and want to start pc gaming again (I used to and then quit 3 or 4 years ago when my PC became outdated). I was thinking I might spend about $200 on games. I am wondering what you guys/girls would recomend I want some games which will last me for a while, at least tell christmas maybe longer. BTW the laptop should get a 3Dmark05 score of about 14000. This has the same processor, graphics card, and ram as the one I am getting. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-9800M-GS.12932.0.html.

BTW I have a ps3, but the only good game which I own that is on the PC is Oblivion.

Thanks everyone

Civilization 4 is about the only PC game made after 2004 which I have (I have a crap load of old games)

So I have decided I will get The Orange Box, Crysis maximum edition when it comes out, Unreal Tournmnet 2004 and 3 {They come to 25 togeather}, Empire: Total War, Grand Theft Auto 4, Call of Duty 4 {4 is better than 5 right}, Bioshock, and Either Get World in Conflict or Company of Heroes {Which On} If I buy some used, or from someon on the amazon marketplace, this should come to around 200 or a little more

I can get gears of war for 20 bucks should I get this also?

What do you think about the selections, and what should I change?

The Orange Box is a must(HL2, HL2EP1, HL2EP2, TF2, PORTAL), Call Of Duty 4. Unreal Tournament 3 (12$ on Steam atm), GTA4 if you're feeling lucky, Crysis, World In Conflict, aso.

Team Fortress2, Left4Dead, Crysis and Crysis Warhead, The Witcher, Empire:Total War, Neverwinter Nights2, Company Of Heroes, Unreal 2k4, COD4 or WAW, Half Life 2, Age Of Empires3, Morrowind, Divine DIvinity and Dawn Of War 2.

Also Bioshock if you havnt tried it.

Left4Dead, Crysis Warhead, Morrowind

I forgot about these.

alien shooter vengance (if you can find a copy its definetely worth any amount u pay for it)

It would be a mistake to buy that many games at once unless they are already bargain bin. If you buy $200 in new games full price by the time you get around to the last ones they would likely have cost you half the price, or something better may have been released. Just my 2 cents.

Empire total war if you can run it.

Get the Steam ultimate pack but make sure your laptop can play all the games included(it should be able too)ATKisNeat

Do you have a link to that?

EDiT:

Err forgot it doesn't auto link.

I wouldn't buy more than 1 game at a time. This way you'll get to know what kinds of games you like and which you don't. Plus, by the time you finish playing all your games you could have purchased most of them for huge discounts.

Yah let me get it for you; http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1134/ It comes with tons of games for a great price.
