well im going to get counter strike source and either left for dead, fallout 3, or ARMA2 on monday to last till november the 11th. (thats when cod MW2 comes out :) )

and im really stuck on what one i should get coz left 4 dead seems great and all but my mate said that it gets really old really quickly,

and alot of people say that fallout 3 is awesome but to me it just seems like oblivion with guns :(

and ARMA 2 seems like a lot of fun but i downloaded the demo and its just so complicated :O

so what game would you buy? and why?

thanks :)

Fallout 3 is Oblivion with guns. If you don't like that concept than don't get it. I say get ARMA 2 if you don't want Fallout 3.

I think fallout 3 has the most value and is probably the game most worth while on that list :)

Although im an ArmAholic, I would pick Fallout 3. If you find ArmA complicated, then don't bother. It won't be as fun as Fallout 3 to you.

I just got Left4Dead and its simply phenomonal.

Like all great games in history, it does the fundamentals perfectly and keeps it simple yet fun.

Ive literally played about 8 hours over three days time and it has not gotten old yet. I dont know if it will; problably, what game doesnt, but still its a blast.

Armed Assault is awesome, and Fallout 3 is too lol

You didnt make this an easy question

Want a coop zombie shooter? Left 4 Dead Want a singleplayer RPG? Fallout 3? Want a realistic tactical army simulator with coop, deathmatches, and a powerful built in editor? Get ArmA2. I think ArmA 2 easily holds the most value of all these games.

I can tell you that L4D doesn't not get old quickly. I have played those maps so many times since it came out last year. This might sound like a bit of a cop-out/Cliffy B quote but with Versus specifically because you don't know who you're playing it becomes a different experience each time and a new challenge. Also there is DLC stuff coming. How much is the ol' L4D these days though? Maybe you should wait for L4D2?

Fallout 3 is a great game, better than Oblivion. However you really need patience. The game really gives it's true potential after a few hours and even then you need great patience. The wasteland is a boring, dull place if you don't know where to go. Exploring it could be great but I get bored fast. Right now I want to get from lvl 18 and 1/2 to 20 and finish it (I can start the last quest but I want 20 first) and I'm too lazy to do that. ARMA 2...I don't know. Left 4 Dead is EPIC. I say get that or wait for L4D 2. It's a trully great game. Might seem boring at first but the versus mode is absolutley awesome when you get past the noob state (my friends didn't like it at first but after I thaught them they loved it). It's simple but hard to master because unlike all the other games it requires team work. As a survivor, even if you are a master (pretty much like myself...I'm such a show-off :D), you can't make it alone because even if you dodge attacks and run there will be a certain point when you will be caught and you can't free yourself from a special infected like the hunter or smoker and if there is no team-mate to help...you get the picture. As an infected, you can't kill the survivors if they stay together because as soon as you catch one you will get killed by one of them so you need team work to separate them. It's a fantastic experience believe me. GET LEFT4DEAD!!!!

thats nothing compared to morrowind, god that game was slow... travel by foot really long distances, no teleport, attack a mudcrab and you miss a few hundrends of times plus not causing much damage, so you need to level up alot and the npcs dont have voice acting so you gonna have to read everything to figure the story and belive me they talk alot.....ohh also there is no quest inditcator you got to ask a npc for directions and he will give you directions like go NW and then turn left... pretty annoying plus there is no compass, if you enter a dungeon you will be oblidared.

I'd get L4D, it's crazy intense hectic fun, and there's really nothing else like it out there. FO3 is great too, but personally I actually got more playtime out of L4D, FO3 might technically have more content but the main storyline is pretty short and if the tedious side quests and exploring don't grab you it's not really any longer than the other two. And download Arma2 demo from steam before you decide anything on that.

Tough choice. All 3x of those listed games are great. However in the OP postthere's something about to last till November 11th. In that regard I would say Fallout3. It's a much larger game and can take a long time to complete. Also some of the DLC for the game is great.

I would say fallout 3, although I love left 4 dead it is nowhere near as fun as CSS :) fallout will give you something to play alone which is a nice change of pace from fast paced multiplayer in FPS.

Also as far as zombie games are concerned killing floor is FAR better than L4D IMO. And its cheaper :)

What do you want to play? Rough but Expansive Military Simulation with a huge amount of features and editor? Polished, fantastic, highly replayable cooperative shooter? Expansive, open world, free roaming Action Role Playing Game? - Now keep in mind ArmA 2 is an aquired taste and is rough around the edges, and Left 4 Dead really does depend on your multiplayer experience, and that Fallout 3 really is like Oblivion - but more redeeming.
