Though I'm uncertain where to use the stat points for my next level of aging this week, it will certainly be a moment to remember nonetheless. Nevertheless, here are my options buds:

Dawn of War 2

Mirror's Edge

F.E.A.R. 2

Grand theft Auto IV

Cons and pros will be much appreciated..

Good day, after observing many videos and benchmarks of a comparable PC GTA IV should indeed run very smoothly.

Dawn of War 2

An RTS closer to be considered an action rpg. You collect loot from bosses, upgrade your small squad of troops, and upgrade stats/spells individually. It has a lengthy singleplayer campaign that supports co-op and online multiplayer to offer long stable replay value.

The game's story is not the strongest and limited to one race.

Mirror's Edge

Something fresh and unique that is short and sweet similar to Portal. There's no online play and the only replayability it offers is running through segments in time trial mode.

F.E.A.R. 2

While not quite as good as the previous 3 iterations it's still a decent FPS. The story is not as strong and you might feel lost not having played other games in the series. Killing baddies in slow-mo may be cliché, but it's done right here. It might feel like a crutch, but is much needed on higher difficulties.

The game's multiplayer is all but dead or nearly there from what I've heard.

Grand theft Auto IV

One of my personal favorites, definitely true to it's game of the year 08 title. Guns, Cars, licenced music, killing cops, and a living breathing world to roam along with more of what you would expect from a GTA game. The story is one of the best movies never made and the main character along with the supporting characters are the most likable in a GTA game to date.

The down side of the game is it lacks a lot of features that were loved or hated from previous GTA games such as customizing cars in the pay and spray body shop, fire fighter missions, larger variety in guns/cars, leveling your character's stats, ect. Mostly features that made other GTA games so great, particularly San Andreas. The game is also a horrible PC port. The game can run beautifully on one computer and like a pos on a rig with 4x the system requirements.

I would get DoW2 out of the bunch myself.

Out of those i have mirrors edge and is a great game and something new never done before. Graphics wise i like the clean style is using and the art style is certainly good. Gameplay wise is interesting and quite good actually ( especially with a good gaming mouse is a pleasure to play ME). Only downside if you ask ne is that is short ( took me like 7 hours first time and about 5-6 second time)

Indeed and congratulations bud. I also will like to say thanks for the information buds, it's been very helpful. So far the choices are between Dawn of War 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV.

gta iv -

PROS:

good story and, for the most part, plausible plot and characters

stunning visuals and unprecedented level of detail in liberty city

weapons handle well and feel great

refined and much improved vehicle controls

new features such as fast travel and mobile phone all implemented well

great fun and very addictive

video editor

mods

CONS

windows live and rockstar social club inclusions

system requirements too high & sli issues

cover controls can be fiddly

more variation in weaponry would have been welcomed

friends dating becomes a chore

repetitive nature of missions common to gta games on the whole unchanged

lack of things to spend money on

some glitches and bugs on certain systems

conclusion: buy it :)

I'd like to emphasize this point specifically. It's the reason why I buy GTA games only for the PC. I hardly ever play these games for the story itself. There have been so many people in the past that have created some really interesting and entertaining mods that extend the replay value of GTA far beyond the base game. Granted, I have not played Dawn of War 2, so I can't make an unbiased judgment, but moddability of a game is certainly a huge plus. Edited for clarification.

GTA 4 is going to be the best value for your dollar.

This game, in so many ways, is actually under-hyped. The 100 million dollars that was spent on making this game shows everywhere. Just driving around Liberty City is itself worth the price of this game. This is of course only true if your system can handle it. Core i7 machines seem to work well with this game.

DoW 2 (superb RTS/RPG hybrid)

I do know they released a campaign editor for DoW 2, but I don't know what all you can do with it
