It's my birthday soon, and since there's no new games out now that I want, I'm gonna get 3 budget games. I've narrowed my list down to 6 games. I want you lot to say which 3 do you think are the best and why to help me decide. The games are:

Gal Civ 2: Dark avatar

Fable: TLC

Fahrenheit (indigo prophecy)

Mafia

Trackmania: United

Psychonauts

Psychonauts (better with a gamepad but fine with KB&M) Galactic Civlizations 2: Dark Avatar. Both are fun and enjoyable, though in totally different ways, and both come with a recomendation from me. I'd also say Fahrenheit as I have heard some very good things about it.

Id say Psychonauts for sure to get. Not often we get platformers on the pc...and that one is really fun, actually I got it myself not long ago and am still playin through it. Id recommend Indigo as well, although its kinda a game thats not for everyone. Some very unique gameplay though, very much an interactive movie.

 I cant say much about the other titles as I havent played them--though I did play the demo for the first trackmania...n it seemed to be a pretty decent arcade racer.

Mmm, out of those I'd suggest Fable, Mafia and Psychonauts. I've only actually tried Fable, but intend to buy Psychonauts as soon as I can find it somewhere (Steam is only a last resort).

  1. Indigo Prophecy ( it's more like a movie, than a game and it has one of the greatest stories ever )
  2. Fable: The Lost Chapters ( it's short )
  3. Psychonauts

Out of those, I've only played Psychonauts, Mafia and Fahrenheit (IP).

Psychonauts was mostly great - it isn't Schafer's best game, but everyone seems to love it.

Mafia was also pretty good, but frustrating at times. I never finished it, but the story is supposedly amazing.

Fahranheit was incredible...until about 2/3rds of the way through the game, where it becomes totally stupid, with little more than button-mashing/DDR sequences and a horrible ending.

*Edit* Also, don't believe what it says on the box - very few of your actions have any consequences in Fahrenheit.

In Order of preference. 1.MAFIA - If u havent played Mafia yet u should get it as soon as possible, because u have missed a classic which needs to be played to be believed. (GS - 9.3 , Me - 9.4) 2.INDIGO PROPHECY - Well, if u r looking for a game with a very intriguing storyline, then this game is for u.Believe me it has a story that can put hollywood movies to shame.A must play.(GS - 8.4 , Me - 9.0) 3.FABLE : THE LOST CHAPTERS - This game is Beautiful.Long Gameplay hours and a good story.(GS - 8.6 , Me - 8.7) Go For IT. If this helps please reply. Or else ill wait for ur next B'day.

1. Mafia
2. Fable TLC
3. Dunno, you alrady have GalCiv2 so not sure if DA is worth it, TM has SF and Fahrenheit wasn't that good imo. I guess that would leave Psychonauts, I heard it's funny.

Well, I'll definately get mafia as that is on almost everyone's list and the reviews of it are excellant, plus it's only a fiver. Fable is also a defianate, as again, it's on most lists and it looks like a lot of fun. It's just between psychonauts and fahrenheit, and I'll think I'll go with psychonauts, because it looks really whacky and funny.

Thanks again everybody, no further help is needed...
